Nationalistic thugs who double as acrobats from the fictional Balkan country of Karonia, The Fearsome Foot-Fighters are masters of savate, a French form of kickboxing. |
It was with the Revolution that the rapier went out, and the savate came in. |
Max had not expected the savate from an Englishman, and he was very glad of the warning. |
He gives lessons just as readily in dancing, fencing, sparring, and savate. |
Indeed, if the object of boxing be to use all means of offence and defence, the savate is indispensable. |
Luckily for the Englishman he had clutched Dubois before the latter could attempt any of the expedients of the savate. |
