Savate does not have the bone crushing power of Muay Thai but they say if you get hit with a Savate kick you feel really sick and ill, and don't feel like fighting on. Overall Savate is kickboxing except they use the toe more than instep or shin. Haow good it is against top kickboxers I am not sure, never heard of a pure Savate fighter in K1 or such events, there have been some that have done little Savate but not seen any that really move and kick like a Savate person. If the top Savate guys could go into K1 or adapt their skills to oit, they would make a lot more money than fighting in Savate.
