    I know the art of Savate has glove rankings insted of belts and sashes. I was just wondering what the order of colors of the gloves. Does anyone know?

    No colour
    Blue
    Green
    Red
    White
    Yellow
    Silver
    Gold

    It mentions the changing of colours is not necessary and sounds like more of an 'each to their own' sort of affair.

    spot on. some of the frenchies wear patches with little coloured gloves sewn onto their kit. Silver is more or less equivalent to a black belt; gold is awarded for special services, kinda like a red belt for a grandmaster. As a general rule though, there's not too much store set in gloves. is all about the kicking people in the head.

    Coloured Glove ranking

    Actually Screwi, they really regard Yellow as being the equivalent to Black Belt in most other systems.

    I also recommend that you other guys go to a Savate-specific Forum, such as The Savate Universe

    http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=74832&subForumID=215536

    and ask your Savate-related questions there. You'll find bona-fide Savateurs on there to answer your queries.
