Born in France at the end of Century 18 ° in Paris slums, Savate represented at the method of fighting with the mob which regulated their local accounts. The name indicated the vulgar meaning of the art of tossing kick. It was practiced to learn the rudiments of defence staff, or for exhibition in public or to adjust the duels: this practice much in vogue at that time, provided that you put challengers agree on arrangements for the duel (which could admit all shots or only kick and punch, the second choices of the two) and the end of combat, which could be "the first blood" (until wounding of one of the contenders), or "to the death" (until the death of one of the two). The Savate of that provided for the use of only kicked in line low. Baptiste Fu, a famous teacher, old dancer dell'Opera, to include also kicked high, insegnandoli the Duke of Berry. But despite the nobility began to interest, this practice remained confined for a long time in the lower classes. Thanks to Michel Casseux, said Pisseux, Savate is institutionalized with the opening of a hall, frequented mainly by workers and fannulloni. They are taught Savate two types: the Classical and Romantic. The first takes only a few shots: The stocks are low and do not go beyond the knee and hands remain open and aims primarily to self-defence. The second used the same shocks, but to lead them all levels: low, medium and high, with a pure and playful spirit. In 1829 was born the term "Chausson" which identified precisely the Romantic Savate, and that does not show the fighting from the street as for the term Savate, indeed identified a practice certainly more noble. The word Chausson resulted from the fact that this style is used a flat shoe of felt or cloth without heel and sole smooth, very similar to that of dance. The purpose of quest'inserimento is to be found in the will of the affrancare Savate street from the practice and even disclose, noble in giving a more aristocratic connotations.
