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?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savate 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. Pugil
