世紀末法式自衛術：法式拳擊與杖擊術（1898）


Late-Victorian French Self-Defence & La Canne: The 1898 Method

基於 1898 年喬治·達莫里克（George d'Armoric）著作《法國拳擊：論高貴自衛藝術之法式風格》（French Boxing: A Treatise on the French Style of the Noble Art of Self-Defence），重現 19 世紀末融合優雅身法、精準截擊與日常隨身器械（手杖／雨傘）的實戰自衛體系。本課程聚焦於「以巧制勝、化解暴力」的實戰防身應用，使習練者在面對體格優勢或突發街頭威脅時，能憑藉科學軌跡冷靜禦敵。

Based on George d'Armoric's 1898 treatise "French Boxing: A Treatise on the French Style of the Noble Art of Self-Defence," this course reconstructs a late 19th-century practical self-defence system combining footwork, preemptive stop-kicks, and everyday improvised weapons (walking sticks and umbrellas). Emphasizing tactical efficiency and non-violent de-escalation, it trains practitioners to counter physical disparity and street aggression through scientific mechanics.

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

-
Image
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

-
Image
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...
