Savate's kicks are designed to use hard footwear such as boots or hard shoes to maximum efficiency. Basically with the martial art of Savate you use techniques that uses the hard part of a sturdy shoes such as the hard tip or heels to hurt your opponenet as much as possible and knock them out unconcious or kill them.

Many of RAID's members are masters of Savate and were former National Savate champions. In RAID training sparring in Savate is one of the main things done in training and we are talking about Street Fighting Savate not Boxe Francaise the sport variation.
