Written by certified instructor and former international competitor Raphael F. Estevao. As a coach, he has sent multiple athletes to the Savate World Championships — in 2024, three returned with medals — and even the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC News) featured a TV report on the training session, where their reporter left with a few bruises and a newfound respect for the sport.

Unlike generic combat sport manuals, the book "Savate: A Comprehensive Guide to a European Martial Art and Modern Combat Sport" blends practical training, history, and philosophy to give readers a comprehensive understanding of savate’s roots and modern relevance. If you're curious about one of Europe’s hidden combat arts, this is the guide you’ve been waiting for. This book offers a balanced approach, bilingual terminology that benefits coaches, students, and educators alike—an essential resource for martial artists, instructors, and combat sport enthusiasts seeking something beyond the mainstream.

Mark Robertson spent most of his career as a technician in the world of theatre, film, and TV. Often, either in-between rehearsals, or at the end of a day’s work, he would take pen to paper and use the time writing as a way of clearing his mind and relaxing before moving on to the next issue of the day. In 2016 he decided to turn his pastime into a paid environment and studied with the British College of Journalism, where he gained an HND in the subject. Since qualifying, he has had multiple articles published in national newspapers and magazines and now works as a newsreader for two London based radio stations. Mark is based in Dorset and is currently studying to be a light aircraft pilot, after winning a competition to gain a pilot’s licence.

I am a clean and wholesome romance writer 

who likes to design stories to inspire and tug on your heartstrings. 

I  am a worshiper and a daughter of God. I've walked through silence,

disappointment, and healing that didn't come fast. I've also seen the 

faithfulness of a God who doesn't flinch at our honesty. I write for

those still in process. If that's you, I hope you find something true 

here that reminds you you're still seen, still loved, still held. 

I love writing my stories in small beach towns.
