London Savate Open – Our First International Experience

-

We had a wonderful match day at the London Savate Open on 4 July 2026. For me personally, it was the first time stepping into the role of both official and coach, which made the day especially meaningful. For our club, this was our first international competition, a milestone we will always remember.

Our athletes achieved great things:

  • Jonathan won the silver medal in the international junior category. He showed strong determination and even tried spinning kicks, which was impressive and well‑received.


  • Nathan took part in his first Assaut, and his performance was highly rated. He displayed courage, skill, and the true spirit of Savate.


We are deeply grateful for the support of parents, whose encouragement and presence made a huge difference. Their backing helps our athletes grow stronger both inside and outside the ring.

The event also gave us the chance to meet fighters from different countries and discover new styles. This experience showed us clearly what we need to improve and strengthen in the future. It was inspiring to see our students behave with respect, discipline, and sportsmanship — values at the heart of Savate.

A special thanks goes to Santoro, the owner of Savate Live, who not only highlighted Jonathan and Nathan’s fights and ensured the boots were shipped to us as quickly as possible. His support means a lot to us.

Savate Live rated the fights of Jonathan and Nathan highly and wished them further improvement. We share the same hope: that this is just the beginning of their journey, and that they will continue to grow with every match.

Reclaiming the Art: The Power of Proximity—Elbow and Knee Strikes in Basic Taekwondo Poomsae

-

There is a common, often uninformed, critique leveled against modern Taekwondo: that it is a purely sport-focused art, lacking the full-range combat techniques necessary for real-world self-defense. This claim suggests an over-reliance on dynamic, long-range kicking, neglecting the brutal efficiency of close-quarters fighting. However, this critique fundamentally misses the point of the Poomsae (formal exercises). The Poomsae are not just sequences for tournament scoring; they are a historical and comprehensive curriculum of combat principles. The fault lies not with the art of Taekwondo itself, but with the lack of focus on the close-range applications often found hidden within the forms. The mere existence of the Elbow Strike and the Knee Strike  within the basic Taegeuk forms—designed for beginner students—serves as undeniable proof that Taekwondo is, and always has been, an all-round martial art prepared for any range of combat. These strikes demonstrate that Taekwondo contai...

The Season of Savate: From Guildford to the International Stage

There is a specific kind of energy that takes over the gym when a competition is on the horizon. The rounds feel sharper, the footwork gets lighter, and the focus becomes absolute. As we look at the calendar for 2026, Formosa Kickboxing Academy (Bracknell Savate Club) has two massive opportunities to show the UK—and the world—what we are made of. 1. The British Savate Assaut Championships Date: April 25th, 2026 | Location: Guildford Spectrum (GU1 1UP) This is our immediate mountain to climb. Hosted by Greig Bradbury, this is a multi-style event featuring clubs from across the UK. For us, this means more than just fighting—it’s about exposure . We get to show practitioners of other martial arts the beauty, grace, and "fencing with the feet" that defines Savate. Why You Should Step Up For the Competitors: This is where you find out who you are as a martial artist. There is no better way to grow than to test your skills against someone you don't train with every day. For...
