In South Africa he learned French boxing called SAVATE....

Tom Harinck - creator of Chakuriki lerned savate in South Africa?
But who actually teached this very rare sport in S. Africa?

Chanbara - stick fighting for "IDIOTS"

French team attended this great competition.



First they destroyed fencing and turned it in line karate-fencing. Then they ignored savate and copy it in new promoted sport called karate and other new born asiatic systems and later from them invented kickboxing. Now they try the same with canne de combat and long history of European fencing. This modern karate kendo fencing - one point touching is well known principle of rediscovering American continent.
But who will kill all Indians?

Peter Straub - Trainer and competitor in club Konstanz, Germany

In Kostanz there was also National German championship assaut 2009.
Peter Straub - trainer of savate in a Budo Circle Konstanz e.V. But also 3rd DAN ju-jitsu.
Actually this club teaches just kickboxing. WAKO - of course. And WKA at the same time. http://www.dvfk-wka.de/
And Vogel Uwe, who trains "Kickboxen" was also second on a National German asasaut championship 2008. What a lucky guy. (In the ring stepped for Konstanz also his club mates: Peter Straub, Daniel Gorgels and Malko Muller)
Thomas Gabele und Andreas Scherf
And this club is not a member of Savate federation Germany - but very nice one to prepare them National championship. I wish to have that kind of friends.

Peter Straub einer der führenden Männer im Savate in Deutschland und Mitglied im Budo-Circle Konstanz hat diesen Event für Konstanz gewinnen Können. Danke, Peter!

And Peter thank you from our side too, to help "kickboxen". We enjoy watching correct ju jitsu kicks towards our genitals under savate assaut rules calling them - begginer's mistakes.

Seminar savate defense in Loano, Italy

Master of savate Alfredo Lallo makes another big step in Italian savate. Now - they need to develop only savate defense and savate forme. In all other disciplines they are more than grown up.



Their website (of Kickboxing federation Italy - that one experimental of Boxing federation Italy) reports about stronger activities in the field of savate forme as strong weapon to popularize savate in "Macaroni" land.



God bless all savate enthusiasts who wears every day sportshoes on their seminars and of course all their international contributors who recognise those licenses.

Russia - Oleg MATYTSIN Candidate to the position of the FISU Vice President/ FISU assessor





DOES RUSSIAN SAVATE SEE ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES?

On behalf of the Russian Federal Agency of Sport and the Russian Olympic Committee we would like to express our support to the candidature of Dr. Oleg Matytsin, President of the Russian Student Sports Union, as an applicant for the position of the FISU Vice President/FISU assessor.
We know Dr. Matytsin for a long time as one of the Russia’s best sports managers and true student sports enthusiasts. We firmly believe that his strong academic background along with sound experience in sports and energetic personality well qualify him to hold one of the senior positions in FISU.
The Russian Student Sports Union (RSSU) is a prominent national sports institution traditionally serving as one of major foundations of Russia’s mass and high performance sports. Since Dr. Matytsin’s joining to the organization the RSSU received a significant impetus to further development. He has introduced a plan of turning the Union into an effective body dedicated to expansion of student sports movement in Russia. One of his key goals is to upgrade the RSSU status tying it closer to the Federal Government and to attract more substantial state funding.
Enhancement of the students’ participation accompanied by an improved and institutionalized funding will certainly transform the RSSU into a successful sports development body.
We are also aware that Dr. Matytsin is an ardent supporter of the proposal to expand FISU base through the development of the Continental Associations and generally to breath new life and energy into the global university sports movement.
We believe that being a reform promoter in his national association Dr. Matytsin will bring great energy and expertise to implementation of your vision of the revitalized FISU.
In this connection and with great pleasure and confidence we would like to recommend Dr. Matytsin to the position of the FISU Vice President/FISU assessor and support him as Russia’s representative at your distinguished organization.

It would be a great honor to be elected FISU Vice President/ FISU asscessor and I will do my best working for further development of the University
Sports worldwide and FISU better future - a development based on the following
principles:
  1. Improvement of the legal framework for all aspects of the FISU (structure and timing of the FISU Executive Committee and the FISU Commission).
  2. Enhancement of cooperation between continental federations and providing the balance of representation in the FISU Executive Committee and the Commission of FISU.
  3. Organizational and financial assistance to developing countries for University Sports
  4. Establishment of cooperation conditions with the International Olympic Committee and the Continental Olympic Committees. Gradual development of interaction between FISU and the International Olympic Committee.
  5. The development of a strategic partnership with international sports federations.
  6. Expanding the scope of cooperation with continental and regional Association of University Rectors.
  7. Establishment of modern information management system in FISU. FISU PR-project elaboration intended to promote the image of the organization responsible for the future of humanity.

Un Yong Kim (WTF taekwondo) is a founder of World Games

READ AND LEARN - oh those Russians (Boney M)

Alexey Kylasov met the World Games founder Un Yong Kim

Alexey Kylasov and Un Yong KimOn July, 15 Secretary General of the Multisport Association of Russia, Alexey Kylasov, had an official working meeting in Seoul with the founder of the International World Games Association (IWGA), former president of the World Taekwondo Federation and the IOC vice-president Un Yong Kim.

‘The meeting with Un Yong Kim took place in the sport bar of baseball legends of “Lexington” hotel in the heart of Seoul near the National Assembly – Parliament of Republic of Korea’, noticed Alexey Kylasov. ‘Baseball was one of the sports the international federation of which became a founder of the IWGA. Looking around Kim said, ’Here we had our first meeting in 1980 when we had the idea to hold the World Games’. Later Kim said that the expenses on keeping the new organization office were paid by the United States Olympic Committee. It is worth mentioning that the IWGA office is still provided for by the USOC and it is situated in the USOC headquarters in Colorado Springs. ‘In fact, the American paid the organization of the first World Games and suggested to hold the Games in 1981 in the small town of Santa Clara in California’, said Kim.

Of course, we met not to share memories about the past but to discuss the prospects of the World Games development. I informed Kim about the refusal of the city of Duisburg (Germany) where the 7th World Games were held in 2005 to host the 9th World Games 2013. It became known from IWGA President Ron Fröhlich’s letter to the multisport Association of Russia in which he suggested that a Russian city should host the Games. Unfortunately, neither Moscow nor Saint Petersburg showed any interest in the offer. And now the IWGA executive committee in Kaohsiung (Taiwan) has to choose the city out of just two candidates – from SAR and Colombia right during the VIII World Games. It was very interesting the way Un Yong Kim reacted. he expressed himself exquisitely saying that both SAR and Colombia are not “comme il faut”. In his opinion, in SAR the Games won’t be noticed because of the FIFA Cup and in Colombia it is not reasonable to hold anything because the flight to Colombia is too expensive for most participants and, besides, it is just not safe there. Kim considers that in this situation it is high time for Fröhlich to admit the IWGA administration inconsistent. Kim and I agreed on the following: absence of applications from candidate-cities is connected with the fact that the Games haven’t become interesting to TV and consequently to sponsors. Kim reminded that some time before former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch had sincerely declared that the IOC was bankrupt, though of course nobody was going to declare it legally. For Fröhlich the situation is even easier. It is possible to blame the global financial crisis. Many people do it now to get away with their strategic mistakes.’
Alexey Kylasov expressed the opinion that one of the mistakes of the IWGA administration was the absence of national organizations integrated with the head organizations and established according to the head organization principle. To Alexey Kylasov’s surprise Kim said that it had been conceived initially. Kim planned to create the network by the national committees but his successor never worked in that direction. As a result there appeared a chimera. In some countries such organizations have been created, e. g. Lithuania, Ukraine, Japan, but their activities stop at NOCs. IWGA does not work with those organizations directly. The only exception is the national Olympic Committee of Germany which unites all the sport federations.

14th non-Olympic Sport's Festival



On March, 26 – 28th 2009 - 14th Non-Olympic Sport's festival was held under patronage of the Multisport Association of Russia in the bounds of the 16th Specialized Exhibition “СПОРТ-SPORT” in Sport-concert complex.

Among the participants there were Russian and regional federations representing various sports: kettlebell lifting, mini-golf, motorcycle sport, table hockey, novus, dancing sport, French boxing Savate and Japanese chess shogi.

If you compare savate with a marmaid?



In Jeet koon do weapons are incorporated in the whole system.
There is no question whether you like sticks or not - if you want to execute Jeet koon do properly you should know something about kali.
In savate most experienced and wanted teachers think the same way.
Savate these days looks like mermaid where you can get only half of a whole system. And which part do you want? Canne de combat or boxe francaise?

Taekwondo/CISM - ITF Conference

War games in ITF taekwondo federation No. 3 - http://www.itf-administration.com/

















There has been vast amounts or propaganda spread by other organisation claiming unification talks with WTF and the CISM, while we have continued to silently work for our members and press forward. We were the first to host ITF Championships in South Korea, the first WIareOne joint ITF and WTF event and now the official announcement of the ITF inclusion to the International Military Sports Council - CISM. ITF has returned home to Korea and the Military...

On Tuesday October 6th, the CISM Taekwondo Committee organized in Brussels a "CISM-ITF Conference" to promote the cooperation between both organisations.
Representatives of CISM Taekwondo Committee including President Lim Soeng Sup, Bruce Harris, Wolfgang Thormahlen, Joseph Baek accompanied by the ITF President Choi Junghwa, and ITF High dignitaries Ligai Volmi Vasiliyevich and Trevor Nicolas participated in the conference at the CISM Headquarters. Further to a Presentation of the CISM general activities, the CISM Secretary General, Colonel Morisod and its Executive Manager, Mr. Olivier Verhelle, especially focused on the various achievements of Military athletes in Taekwondo.
The participants of the conference shared a consensus on the need for the unification of ITF and WTF, the two split Taekwondo bodies. They also agreed that the admission of 128 pro-ITF member countries to CISM Taekwondo Committee, which currently recognises 131 pro-WTF countries only, would lay the groundwork for WTF-ITF integration.
CISM and ITF discussed on the different means to cooperate for the development of Taekwondo in the military and civilian society. The signature of a Memorandum of Understanding listing the different areas of that collaboration CISM and ITF shall be one of the coming steps in this endeavour. Currently international Taekwondo community is split into ITF and WTF, while ITF is again divided into three factions each led by Choi Junghwa, Chang Ung and Tran Trein Quan. It is of a great interest to see if the conference between CISM and ITF led by Choi Jung Hwa would provide a momentum to end the struggle within ITF and lead to WTF-ITF unification. Precedent to the meeting, President Choi Junghwa of ITF met the newly elected Secretary of CISM, Alexandre Morisod, at the CISM headquarters to request CISM to play a leading role in the Taekwondo unification process.President Choi Junghwa, the son of the late ITF founder General Choi Hong Hee, is a symbolic figure in international Taekwondo arena who devoted his life in spreading the korean martial art worldwide. The CISM Headquarters are very proud to have received the visit of these high ITF and CISM dignitaries.

Japan Martial Arts Federation - Under Japan Wrestling (FILA)



The new Japan Martial Arts Federation, which is under the umbrella of the Japan Wrestling Federation, held their inaugural press conference today. Figures such as WVR PR Kokuho, Sumo wrestler Asashoryu, Hidehiko Yoshida, and Hayato “Mach” Sakurai were present.
The president of this new Federation, Tomiaki Fukuda, said that MMA and the like has spread around the world, so Japan must not fall behind. That’s the reason for this new Federation.
As mentioned previously, pro organizations WVR, Shooto, Pancrase, ZST, and 9 internal amateur organizations (Combat Wrestling, Muay Thai, BJJ, etc.) are participating in this.
The first action that the Federation will take is to send 8 fighters to the 2009 Asian Indoor Games in Hanoi in Vietnam at the end of this month (for Muay Thai, Belt Wrestling, and Kurash). After that is the World Grappling Championship in Florida in December and of course the Martial Arts Games in Beijing in 2010.
Also, this federation, while clearing questions such as weight classes and rules, is aiming at an All-Japan MMA Championship.
I think that this All-Japan Championship will have a limited rule-set if it happens (since All-Japan tournaments usually don’t last more than a day) but with an annual championship it could definitely make MMA look more like a real sport in Japan. Especially with Shooto and Pancrase involved and the Federation saying that they will be strict on drug testing. Of course a weeked of MMA tournaments also sounds like a good watch and future Japanese stars could emerge.

WKA rating April 1990 and savate fighters

How many well known savate fighters can you find out when you click this picture?
I wonder who invented kickboxing when savate sport was already present.

Finals world championship savate combat 2009, Longwy, France



7th of November - Longwy, France

Final fights:
Chloe Cabareck (FRA) vs. Silvia La Notte (ITA)
Doya (FRA) vs. Chemeret (RUS) (oh..... changed to Slobodan Popov (SERBIA))
Slimane Sissoko (FRA) vs. Milos Golic (Monte Negro)



I thought that Milos Goliccompetes in some other country. KBS Rajko Kusic - Pale, Republic Srpska (ex - Bosnia) and his trainer: Dragan Rabota. He was very active in kickboxing also for Monte Negro in WAKO kickboxing - Balcan championship and Sarajevo Super World Cup - may 2009 (low kick -91kg).

National kickboxing federation in International savate federation



Italian kickboxing federation called FIKB (Federazione Italiana kickboxing)is a member of International savatre federation FIS. Is it realy so hard to bluff and cover those kickboxers under new established Italian savate federation.
How long will we wait till Sumo federation of Poland will join also our savate organisation? But is it possible? Yes. Everything is possible.
Unfortunatelly.

Muay Thai boxing footage

This is rare Muay Thai boxing footage from the Bangkok Film Archive. Datation is not precise, but it could be before WW2. Like some kind of wai kru dancing in the ring and not so bloody as it is presented today. Interesting.

MILLET LUDOVIC vs. WIDENS INNOCENT

17th NOVEMBER 2007 - France ELITE - 1st part of competition.
LUDO in action. WIDENS INNOCENT's coach was Amri Madani.
Very experienced judge allowed unusual extension of the fight after KO and also weird fouette and chasse kicks. At this moment boxe francaise turned to chauss fight and clean savate techniques are not anymore recognisable. And this surely is not the way of developing this beautiful sport.

WAKO meets WTF in Korea



























http://www.wakokorea.or.kr/













WAKO President, Mr Ennio Falsoni, was in Korea where he had the pleasure to meet Mr Un Yong Kim (in the picture), who was IOC Vice President and founder of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). (and of course this guy was in prison - coruption things)
He went to meet the highest sport authorities of the country in order to support the official recognition of WAKO Korea, leaded by Mr. Kim Beom Suk.
In the same day Korean members organized for him three meetings in a row: at lunch time a private reception with Dr. Un Yong Kim, former IOC vice-president, founder of modern taekwondo that he brought to the Olympic Games; then in the afternoon with Mr. Y S Park, president of Korean Olympic Committee who guaran teed a fast track for the recognition of WAKO Korea; and last but not least , at dinner time, a meeting with Ph. Dr. Yun Tak Lee, former president of Korean Olympic Committee. All meetings were very cordial and everybody expressed their total support to the cause of WAKO Korea which in just a year of life has reached the incredible figure of 10.000 members.
The news of Mr. Ennio Falsoni's visit to Korea was then spread in the different websites and that brought to an incredible response from different martial arts schools in Korea: just 2 days later, 200 new gyms called to join now WAKO Korea.
In WAKO they say:
That's incredible, but...true.
Mr. Falsoni, immediately after Seoul, went to Busan, city where the WAKO Korea headquarters is located, for a visit to the local Municipality and a meeting with the young leaders of WAKO Korea. A real great experience!
