Alex with typical "Walloons" Belgium team
The Canadian Savate Federation
(http://savatecanada.blogspot.com/)
and Paul Atangana's Lion's Boxing Club
(http://www.lionsboxingclub.com/) were delighted to host Richard Sylla's second visit to Montreal, the lively city where Canada's French and English cultures mingle.
Local savate clubs in attendance included Concordia University's Wolverines and Savate World. Participants also journeyed from Connecticut and New Hampshire, USA, to train again with Sylla.
Seminar participants were extremely enthusiastic about Sylla's teaching, finding him approachable and full of energy as well as extremely knowledgable. He set a physically challenging pace but also took the time to provide individual feedback to each participant, whether a beginner or an experienced competitor. Plans are progressing for a return visit this October.
Saturday's informal gala evening delivered a meeting between a "Team Belgium," which included nine male athletes, and "Team North America." Belgian Chef D'Arbitrage Alexandre Walnier supervised and refereed the matches. The Americans and Canadians (joined by a single French guest, one of Richard's up-and-coming new competitors) put on a strong showing against much more experienced Belgians, producing two ties and one controversial stoppage despite the Belgians' general dominance.
