Savate Savate Savate (), also known as boxe française, savate boxing, French boxing or French footfighting, is a French combat sport that uses the hands and feet as weapons combining elements of English boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Only foot kicks are allowed, unlike some systems such as Muay Thai, which allow the use of the knees or shins. "Savate" is a French word for "old shoe or boot". Savate fighters wear specially designed boots. A male practitioner of savate is called a tireur while a female is called a tireuse. Savate takes its name from the French for "old shoe"
Distance from a point to a line are vertical lines). Corresponding sides of these triangles are in the same ratio, so: If point "S" has coordinates ("x","m") then |"PS"| = |"y" - "m"| and the distance from "P" to the line is: Since "S" is on the line, we can find the value of m, and finally obtain: A variation of this proof is to place V at P and compute the area of the triangle ∆"UVT" two ways to obtain that formula_17 where D is the altitude of ∆"UVT" drawn to the hypoteneuse of ∆"UVT" from "P". The distance formula can then used to express formula_18,
