Savate Hop

Savate Hop is somewhat of a misnomer because it can be applied to Muay Thai or any other form of kickboxing. Regardless of the specific system of kickboxing that is employed, it is an effective and valuable technique.

Basically, here is the 'hop' in a nutshell:

You through a round kick with the lead leg and as that leg falls to the ground, you 'hop' the spport leg into a mild jump style round kick. When it lands, it lands with your full body weight behind it. Pretty devastating!

Try it on a bananna bag next time you train and see how it works for you.
