On Sunday 22nd July, Savate Cambridge held its Midsummer Open, supported by Cambridge Academy. Following on from the Training Seminar with Smael Mayouf (Saturday 21st July), this was an opportunity to take part in a friendly Savate Assaut competition. The event was open to savateurs from any club and included several weight categories for men, women, boys and girls.
We were honoured to welcome Smaël Mayouf to teach in Cambridge on a hot sunny day in July. Smaël is a true champion in both ability and manner, with the highest level technical skills. He has won French, European, and World Championship titles. The most recent being the European Savate Assaut Championships in 2017.
