What are the differences between Savate and Kickboxing?

yeah, the kickboxing i'm learning has kung fu influences (mainly wing chun and mantis) So its not the same as regular kickboxing, i'll just list the offensive moves we do for now. (the above question stands though)





Jab


Cross


Hook


Uppercut


Elbow (going in)


Elbow (going out)





Front kick


Roundhouse kick (with shin)


Side kick


Step side kick


Back side kick


Cresent Kick


Back Cresent Kick


Spinning back cresent kick (i think thats the right name, basically we normally do it following a normal cresent, so, its cresent kick carry on rotating, then back cresent)


Knees


Thrust Kick





I know that knees and elbows have been added from muay thai. A few of the kicks i'm fairly sure aren't normally KB kicks.


Most of the kung fu elements are in blocks etc.





Anyway yeah, if anyone can answer the main question, and tell me if the offensive repetoire of the kickboxing i'm learning is normal or not.

What are the differences between Savate and Kickboxing?
Savate is French kickboxing and uses the foot alone.
Reply:its seems similar, but one thing i noticed different is in the kick. muay thai/kickboxing usually uses the shin to kick, in savate they sometimes use the tip of the foot since they wear shoes.
