Training: Savate Rounds and length.
by James B. Peterman
Savate Rounds are unique in several ways. Unlike
in normal boxing the round serie of a fight can go from two to five rounds.
The length of each rounds can vary according to the organizator however
they should be either of 1mn, 1.30mn or 2mn. Within the length of these
rounds it is very important to remember that the referee breaks are timed
and not included by the chronometer. Another type of round break that may
cut the flow of action of a fighter is in the event a defect in the fight
equipment occurs. If a defect in the fighter equipment (boxing glove tears
etc.…) occurs , those must be changed prior to continuing the fight. Many
breaks can make a Savate round quite longer than it should be and depending
on the type of break, this can be can be quite exhausting on a savateur
during a competition round. It is recommended that instructors training
a competitor takes into account this unique factor of round length. One
way to take this into consideration is by creating multiple training speed
and various training methods within on round in order to break the training
competition round. For exempla, one can create training fight for their
competitor in which the savateur is required to stop his/her action in
process and do push ups (that are not timed) right in a middle of a round!
or even abdominal work (that are not timed) right in the middle of the
round as soon as the training coach call it.
Each times an unplanned circumstance occurs which
could affect the purity of the fight, the referee will stop the fight and
the fight can even be postponed if required by the referee.
Humidity, Heatstroke and Savate
training:
Reference Author: Rice University and Mark A. Jennkins, MD
In Savate and in any other sports, humidity is not your friend The rate of sweating is higher in humid conditions but the cooling is less. The reason is that because the air is already very saturated with water, sweat can't evaporate. Sweat that beads up and rolls off doesn't function in the cooling process. However, this "futile sweat" does deplete the body of vital water and salt. As dehydration progresses cooling becomes more difficult. Performance drops and heat injury becomes a real threat. Deaths have occurred when the air temperature was less than 75 degrees F (24 degrees C) but the relative humidity was above 95%.
For Savate athletes and any athletes in general,
heatstroke is a life threatening condition and represents severe dehydration,
high body temperature, and a shut-down of the cooling mechanisms. The athlete
may be delirious or comatose, and half of the victims have stopped sweating.
The pulse is rapid and weak, the blood pressure is low and body temperature
is greater than 105°F. Damage to the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and
other organs may occur. Sometimes despite the best medical care, death
is the end result.
Savate technical Tip:
Author: Professor Jean-Noel Eynard, V.M.D., Companion
de la Savate
A punch should always be given with the two first
knuckles of the closed hand (i.e. Index and middle finger's knuckles hand.
By targeting these two knuckles the punch will be thrown in a straight
line and the target will be accurate. This is aside from the fact that
these two knuckles are the strongest of all.
