I use to be incredibly curious about Savate when I was a kid. So little was known about it and of course there was no internet to learn about it. I read what little I could get my hands on but in the end I took up Judo.

They used to advertise Savate,aka "French Foot Fighting" in the back ads in old comics when I was a kid.

Ha, those were usually put out by a guy named Bruce Tegner, he had whole series of them for different arts. Surprisingly, some were very decent for the time -

Sandow. Uk has some of his old courses/ books. Interesting reading.

Didn't Tenger do a comparison of various martial arts and good old street fighting methods?  I could be mistaken.
I seem to remember someone (old timer) saying a person who knows how to street fight always has the advantage.

I remember the old days.. here in sweden lots of turks who migrated  were of wrestling backgrounds and often fought iranian, balkan, polak people who were kickboxers, karate champs, etc.. and 9/10 got beat by wrestlers..
You can go very far by boxing and wrestling alone.. ask Dan Henderson, Johnny Hendricks, Cain Velasquez..

Looks just like a flurry of blows but when brocken down it is a very effective way to fight in say a crowded bar. the traditionel System lacks ground fighting but now there is more modern styles around which intergrate ground  fighting such as from, leung Ting (Wing Tzun).. a very well known guy from him is Emin boztepe. Teaches also in LA..

The goat Fedor was a Russian sambo champ seems to be the best for self defense and real competition.
