Savate-unknown by most of the public and martial arts community.Thornton from Straightblast Gyms rates his experience with Daniel Duby very highly and this is from a man who basis his striking around western boxing with little kicking.
Logically I cant see how Boxing is underrated when any scuffle on a Friday/Saturday night,boxing is employed by skilled/unskilled alike.Schoolyards,Hollywood Films,any Youtube clip,all show pretty much boxing.Its what the 'people' use.
When some of you guys complain about not seeing 'real' boxing skill in UFC,what your not really seeing is bobing,weaving and ducking.
Knees,kicking and takedowns and clinching is what pretty much stops this from appearing.
