In Canada a lot of women who do savate also box competitively, because the two sports are complimentary and because of a relative shortage of savate fights.
I see. But - make more savate fights and you will have more savate activities :). And what do you say about LIGHT CONTACT BOXING (english boxing)? boxe educative for members +18?
Putting on an event is a LOT of work -- trained judges, officials, a host space, enough matches... There aren't many of us in the sport, and most people would rather train than organize.
I haven't heard of any light-contact boxing here, but it sounds fun! If it gives you a chance to learn how to move and develop ring experience, it should be good for members.
