Question I'm very much interested in learning Boxe Francaise-Savate but am having a lot of trouble finding a school that teaches it in NYC. Would you happen to know of any schools in the area? If not, are there any other good sources of information you can recommend that delve into this martial art?
Answer Chris,
I've received this question before and I'm sad to tell you that instruction in BFS is not that readily available.
Your best bet right now is to get your hands on Salem Assli's DVD series from the 1980s.
It is still the best ever video series on BFS ever, hands down!
Best of luck to you.
Regards,
Dwight Woods
