	Savate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Savate (pronounced /sæ'væt/), also known as boxe française (French boxing) or French kickboxing, is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and contains elements of western boxing, grappling and graceful kicking techniques (only foot kicks are allowed, with no use of the knees or shins).
		A pupil of Casseux's, Charles Lecour was exposed to the English art of boxing when he was defeated in a friendly sparring match by British pugilist Owen Swift around 1830 and felt that he was at a disadvantage, only using his hands to bat his opponent's feet away, rather than punching.
		He trained in boxing for two years before, in 1832, combining boxing with chausson and savate to create the sport of savate)or boxe française', as we know it today).

		According to Michel Delahaye, in his book La Boxe Française (Ergo Press, April 1989), the French style of fighting with the hands and feet, known as Boxe Francaise (French Boxing), was assimilated by Charles Lecour (1808-94), the son of a French baker, in 1832.

		Luigi Carmine published his “Trattato di Boxe libera ossia difesa personale…” (C69) in 1869 to Milan; this treatise is composed into five parts divided for topics and with 20 drawings at the end (in the original edition there’s the author’s portrait too).
		Now, after our research, we can assure that Carmine wrote a treatise of Boxe Française and Catch, that with stick fencing and Jiu-Jitsu was called after Lutte Parisienne (unfortunately both of this and Chausson nothing of wrote arrived to us, only in some novel or little indication in more recent treatise).
		Here w can't write and compare all the chapters of both treatise but we only scan some pages for example and we hope that intersted reader will personally search for his personal curiosity.
