Also known as
Lecour style · Genre Lecour
Description
The gymnastic form of French boxing founded by Charles Lecour in Paris about
1832, joining savate kicks with English boxing punches after his lessons with
the English boxer Adams. Charles and his brother Hubert developed it at their
salle in the passage des Panoramas; it became common in the 1860s. Lecour never
published it. Joseph Charlemont later drew on it for his academic method.
