To Savate Ireland - thank you for your hospitality and hard work this weekend. You gift us with great memories and opportunities at your events. We appreciate it.
Headline for club members who stayed home: London Savate proved its quality once again. There was good Savate on display, patience, courage, team spirit, and evidence of hard training from everyone. An honour to take this club anywhere. In terms of silverware, we were no less impressive, with one overall female champion taking back the title belt, 3 Gold, 1 Silver, and 2 Bronze division medals.
Well done. Your sacrifices and training paid a return. To those confined to stay at home this time, be inspired by these people for your next one.

Very good experience.



Highly skilled instructor !

I had my first session last week, and I was made to feel so welcome. I was really nervous but James put me at ease straight away. The class was hard work, but rewarding and fun, and I learnt lots. Even though I’m not very fit, I was able to work at my own pace and never felt like I was out of place. Really looking forward to learning more, improving my skills and my fitness.

Great combination of engrossing technique, a great workout and quick-thinking tactics. Kind of like full-body chess. James is insightful and incredibly experienced and the people at the class are just the right mix of enthusiastic without being punchy meat-heads. I love it.

Friendly, fun and professional! Great workout.
