If you understand Atlatl you kick from your toes



Bob Perkins and nice science

Frey Rolf gave licenses in German savate in 1986

Frey Rolf - mysterious savate trainer from Germany (30th of January 1986)


INSEP certificate - signed probaly by DTN Bob Alix (16th of March 1986)(source from comments)


Initiateur - Instructeur(3 months)

In times of FIS president Jean-Marie ROUSSEAU 23 mars 1985 - 1989:
(do you have a picture of our first president :) ?)

Frey Rolf, Hohenackerstr. 77,71334, Waiblingen, Germany, Europe - Is this man savate instructor who licensed Buhlbron savate trainer Ari?

Comments say: Frey Rolf is unknown to Germany?

Our long savate history seems to be so weak? Why?

Slovenian K1 illusion

Miran Fabjan was a winner of the biggest K1 event in Slovenia called WFC. After WFC Rozle Jazbinsek said that all fights were arranged in advance. And after all no money for competitors. Maybe because they were all amateurs. Yes Coubertain, this time for real.

Oh my god look his techniques.

He is one of big hopes of ASD gladiatorum (brothers Petrosian train there.)
Please observe this KO. Did you see any contact. Maybe I am blind , but if there was something please report me in comments.

And what they say about him:
Miran is from Slovenia and has already fought many times in Europe. This is his first fight in Thailand. Miran won easilly with a 1st round KO. Miran plans to return to Rawai Camp (Charles Scarbowski training place) in October and stay for half a year to concentrate on fighting and training.

Slovenia is a place full of shit - part 1

STRONG AND NEGATIVE PROMOTION OF SLOVENIAN UNIVERSITY SPORT STRUCTURES (EUSA headquarter - Ljubljana) - THAT UNIVERSITY SPORT IS JUST A JOKE IS A BIG LIE. READ THIS AUSTRALIAN FISU ARTICLE.

Kate Ellis, the Hon. Minister for Youth and Sport announced the Australian team for the Belgrade Summer Universiade.
The 185-strong Australian delegation, led by Chef de Mission Martin Roberts, consists of 19 Olympians attending as either competitors or coaches, highlighting the high standard of competition at the World University Summer Games.
The announcement by the Australian Minister further demonstrates the importance of sport in Australian university life. Government legislation to reintroduce a student services and amenities fee is due to be debated in the Australian Senate next week.
"As well as boosting student services, these reforms will help to sustain university sporting teams and facilities - promoting active and healthy lifestyles on campus and fostering the development of future Australian athletes" Ms Ellis said.
Australian University Sport CEO Mr Don Knapp has been vocal in his support for the reintroduction of a services and amenities fee. "Since the introduction of voluntary student unionism, direct funding for sporting clubs has been cut by 40 per cent. This has contributed to a decline in university sport participation of some 12,000 students since 2005", said Mr Knapp. "This legislative amendment must pass through the Senate next week so we can begin work on restoring vital sport services on Australian university campuses."
The Australian team leaves for Serbia from 25 June and will be competing in Belgrade from 1 - 12 July.

They shouldn't mix together



Bill can you remember your words about thai boxing and kickboxing? From 1989 April edition of Black Belt?

And these days - how can we see differences between thai boxing and muay thai?

Contact fighting sports - grown up countries realized many years ago that without cooperation between different types of boxing styles and martial arts there couldn't be any progress.

WC combat 2009, slideshow and video

This year, specifically on this day, a World Championship in Savate Combat took place in Novi Sad, Serbia.



The President of the FIS, Gilles Le Duigou and Mr Alain Guillard visited the Serbian federation in order to sign the convention of organization of the World Combat Championships, to be held June 18th,19th and 20th in Novi Sad. They also visited the proposed competition venue and the hotels (3 star) where participants will stay - they were pleased to establish the high standards. This World Championship will be a World Championship of high quality, due both to the number of countries participating and to the quality of the organization.




Following the qualifying tournament for the finals of the 2009 world championship that took place last week-end (20th June), there are 15 senior finals for men and women, to be distributed among the candidate organisers.

As 30 finals have been requested, some candidates may be disappointed! The Competition Commission will meet in July, before the summer holidays.

Candidates for finales of World combat championship 2009

Requested Number of Finals:
1 La Motte-Servolex, France 6
2 Marseille, France 2
3 Longwy France 5
4 Eaubonne(Paris), France 2
5 Chatellerault, France 2
6 Tarbes, France 1
7 Creteil, France 3
8 Clermont-Ferrand, France 4
9 Colombes, France 3
10 Fed. Serbe, Serbia 2

Total 30


Savate combat championships are every year harder and punches and kicks are stronger. Everybody in martial art world wants to compete against brilliant and well prepared French team. And every year new boxers, new muay thai fighters, new savate beginners try their best to win in attractive fighting discipline in shoes. Believe me - it is not easy to face 203 cm tall Ivo Debelic or massive attacker Aurieng or Borovic with nearly 200 fights ahead.
In 2009 everybody can say without a shame: If you wanna compete in combat you should really have strong national team, strong financial support in your country and strong will to just step in ring with the best world fighters. And let's see what kind of support has the best team.

Savate Ilha Brazil, circle training

Training similar to Capoeira may unite basic principles and stronger savate in South America. Why not? Savate needs fresh blood and capoeira is still very hot.

JKS savate - Pavia, Italy

Presenting training of Alessandro Lamenta - trainer of JKS gym, savate. I like his way of teaching savate. Savate is sport. Savate should be spontaneous, open - minded and not mortal kombat as most martial arts wants to be. So Alessandro, your way of teaching savate is for my opinion correct way and very different from classic kickboxing.

Why you should love Italians?
Beacuse they are always ready for all kind of jokes, even if heavy combat fights are expected. But beware of serious and quiet ones, these are not kind of I am talking about and showing them in this video. One big hug to Italy.

Ubaldo Paschini - Capoeira - ACSI

Big savate supporter from Italy (honorable member FIS), working in ACSI. Savate is strongly positioned in FIKB - Italian kickboxing federation and ACSI may be someday also place where savate fighters will meet together. Like kickboxing and muay thai and others...

Glorious - Wayne Jackson and NICE dancing interpretation

Savate Berlin, go on.

If you remove video of Bela this time, we will try to find justice at Gerhard himself :). Listen, this video is brilliant. Bela B. is great and if more savate videos would have also some background like yours in this case, this blog would be more attractive.



Great original:




Unplugged version:



My penetration eyes, can see through your disguise.
Your beauty mystifies and speaks in semaphore.
I hang on every word, your eyes like restless birds.
Scattered and disturbed on every shore.

Glorious, with every stolen line.
I feel glorious and the stars that shine are glorious,
Like the sunlight hits the sea,
You are glorious, glorious to me.

The fragrance of your skin,
And the way your dresses cling,
Devour me from within and leave me needing more.
The perfection of your crimes, it gets me every time.
Your courage is sublime, of this I’m sure.

Glorious, with every stolen line.
I feel glorious and the stars that shine are glorious,
Like the sunlight hits the sea,
You are glorious, glorious to me.

She’s tripping on high heels,
As she lets go of the steering wheel.

She, she brings me threes, a single ship,
And we sail on cubic seas.

Glorious, with every stolen line.
I feel glorious and the stars that shine are glorious,
Like the sunlight hits the sea,
You are glorious, glorious to me.

Savate Spain and Arnaud MIMOUNI (Pole Espoir Savate, Vichy)





Savate ahoy! Jose Gil IBERNON was perfectly heard and understood when he invited people to participate in a Savate training camp in Mataro. However, it was not so easy to get trainees and trainers from all the country all together when the season quietly ends while the sun shines offering many free moments to chill out with fresh sangria and tapas. Never mind! Some trainees flew around a thousand miles to go to Mataro. Almost forty people - young and older males and females - accepted the invitation of Jose Gil IBERNON to participate in the camp run by Arnaud MIMOUNI, in charge of the Pole Espoir Savate in Vichy (National High Level Savate Centre for Juniors). The event was undoubtedly a success thanks to a high quality planning lead by the president’s wife and team. A warm and friendly home made welcoming! The traditional Spanish receipt! Despite their various levels, the trainees fully involved in the project as perfect students working hard on defence and counter attacks. Arnaud MIMOUNI really appreciated the perfect organization of the camp and could also estimate local fighters’ level which is good enough to predict they would soon compete in international Assaut events. This is the ambition and the dream JosĂ© has. He is intimately convinced that Savate has pure and strong values. He really thinks that Spain could be a great nation in Savate. Let’s hope his wish comes true!

Armenian national kickboxing team to participate in world championship in Belgrade
11.06.2009 16:22

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian national kickboxing team will leave for the Serbian capital Belgrade on June 17 and take part in the qualifying round of the European kickboxing (French boxing) world championship between June 18 and 20.
According to the founder and president of the French box federation of Armenia Robert Rostomyan, the national team will be represented by 4 boxers:
  1. Smbat Haroutyunyan (65 kg weight class),
  2. Aram Margaryan (70 kg weight class),
  3. Gevorg Torosyan (75 kg weght class),
  4. Vahe Gevorgyan (60 kg weight class in the tournament among juniors).
“Our federation was founded in 2003. Since then we have been very successful. In 2005 we brought the Silver from the world championship, in 2006 we won Bronze in the European championship, and in 2007 in the international tournament in Greece 6 our sportsmen took first places, and two were awarded silver medals,” Mr. Rostomyan said, adding that he now has big expectations from the coming championship in Serbia.
Manager of the Armenian national team is Volodya Khalatyan, who has trained the team for the last half a year.
French boxing is a synthesis of French Savate and English boxing. Savate, which is also known as boxe française, French Kickboxing or French Footfighting, is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and combines elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Savate is perhaps the only style of kickboxing in which the fighters habitually wear shoes. Around 500 sportsmen are involved in kickboxing in Armenia.
According to Mr. Rostomyan, in the case of successful play in the qualifying round in Belgrade, Armenian boxers will obtain the right to take part in the final combats of the world championship, scheduled for November and December.
“We also project to held championship in Armenia. Belgium will host European championship and we have already been invited to take part in it,” Mr. Rostomyan said.

WBO professional boxing: Miranda (Argentina) vs. Zavec (Slovenia)

It is nice to see promotion of professional boxing in Slovenia. Match was in the second biggest city in Slovenia - Maribor.
Weird thing is - that boxing as olympic sport doesn't have any official BOXING GYM in a capital of Slovenia - city of Ljubljana. Sport authorities of Ljubljana say that boxing is not developed enough in Slovenia-Ljubljana to spend all this money for ONE AND ONLY PERMANENT BOXING RING. Boxers in Ljubljana usually do their trainings in a small public gyms or school gyms, usually (˝if school management allows˝) with one or even two boxing bags.
ALI G - you were right with your statement "GO BACK TO SLOVENIA".
Who is Slovenia and Ljubljana afraid of? Boxers? I doubt.

60 years of FISU and 50 years of Universiade

My comments:
WHY almost all countries don't recognize FISU sport results, but on the other hand they invest money to satisfy students (travel) needs? ... was the question that some trainer of olympic sport asked me. And I didn't find an answer. But FIS savate tactically chose FISU before AGFIS recognition. Can you imagine why, with all those WAKO member countries?
