Savate Ninja

In the IDW continuity, the clan known colloquially as the Savate Ninja are a band of criminals originating from France. Their name is given due to their clandestine ninja-like garb and their fighting style, a form of French kickboxing. They actively oppose the Foot Clan, but being criminals, they are also an enemy of the Turtles.

The Savate ninjas became very prominent in the criminal underworld, becoming second only to the Foot in power. During the City Fall story arc the Savate Ninja clan attempted to to steal a shipment of equipment being delivered by Karai and her fellow Foot Clan ninja. The Savate were about to finish off the Foot until a brainwashed Leonardo shows up with more Foot ninja. The Foot dispose of all but one Savate ninja, letting him go free to relay a message to Victor, the leader of the Savate, that the Foot Clan will tolerate no disobedience from the other criminal organizations. While fighting more of the Foot Clan a member of the Italian Mafia arrives in a car to take Victor to a meeting of all the crime family bosses. They met to discuss the recent escalating conflict between the Foot Clan and all the other families. The head of the Mafia, Antonio, voices his displeasure at the Savate's violent approach to dealing with the Foot. Victor says they have it handled when Marcello speaks out, causing Victor to slay him, to emphasize his point.

However, the Savate came to an ignominious end shortly thereafter. While at their base, the Savate find themselves ambushed by the Foot Clan who are being led by a brainwashed Leonardo. After being captured Victor and the rest of his clan are brought to an abandoned theatre where the Shredder is holding his meeting between the various criminal organizations in New York City. During the meeting the Shredder decides to make an example of Victor and the Savate Ninjas by decapitating their leader.
