Offensive Savate Flows: Chassé Focus

-

What a session today! We really honed in on our chassé technique, covering the frontal chassé at all three levels: bas (low), médian (mid), and figure (high). It was a great workout for power and precision. We also spent some good time on the turning chassé, which is always a fantastic way to improve our mobility and transitions in the ring.

Want to refine your chassé even more? Remember to watch James's excellent video on chassé technique! It's a fantastic resource to help you perfect your form.:

Today's training is all about refining your chamber in Savate. This fundamental skill is crucial for both balance and striking power, as it allows for precise control and efficient force generation in your kicks.
