Description

Also known as “French Boxing”, as opposed to the well-known sport of English boxing, savate is a French martial art. Strongly connected with canne de combat (cane fighting), these two sports were demonstrated together at the 1924 Olympics in Paris.

The sport is currently governed by the Fédération Internationale de Savate (FISav), which was founded on 23 March 1985, and has 63 member countries as of January 2026.
