Originally Savate was a self defence martial art.

Here are some good documentaries in English about it:

Anyone know anything about French Savate? It seems to have developed at the same time as Marquise of Queensbury rules boxing? Boxing seems to have spread around and become an Olympic Sport. Why Savate never get the same attention?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savate

It seems to have become a sport around the early 19th Century. Marquis of Queensbury rules developed sometime in mid 19th century. So what gives?

Back in those days kicking was considered un-Gentleman like in most of the western world, hence it never gained wide popularity.

Plus, you fight with your shoes, which kinda is like fighting with a weapon (utilizing your shoe/boot as a weapon). Notice that martial arts that utilize weapons tend to not make it big as sports when talking about popularity.

Yeah, but I had to register my fists as bladed weapons as soon as I got my blackbelt when I was 7 years old
