WORKSHOPS

Live or Virtual Seminars and Workshops are great opportunities to train with students coming together with different skill sets and technical backgrounds over a multitude of skills and sparring drills to gain stronger understanding of the practical applications of Savate techniques and training methods. Seminars and Workshops are specifically designed to the needs of each schools or students’ needs, topics covered can range from introducing the technical progression and Savate ranking system, to perfecting tactical approaches for ring fighting for any striking competitors, or focus on the self-defense aspect of the art and the specific uses of the shoes.

“Professor Nicolas Saignac has taught at my academy many times in the past years. My students all over the United States love his teaching, his material, and his skills that he displays in the French art of Kickboxing Savate. I highly recommend him for workshops and seminars. Savage has many good elements in it that will add to the skills of a good Mixed Martial Artist.”

"It is always an honor and privilege for the Francis Fong Academy to host Professor Nicolas, because our students receive immense benefit from incorporating Savate techniques into their training..."

"I was taught by Nick through sparring when I was getting ready to fight in Japan.  He was the 1988 Grand Cup Savate Champion and my coach thought it'd be a good idea for me to get in the ring and spar with him. He was in my face the whole time and I couldn't touch him he was hitting me with a 2 to 5 shot ratio for every one of mine. If you get a chance I'd highly recommend you learning from Nick he can teach at all levels, beginner to pro fighter."
