Was FIST the only one lover of savate in Italy all these years?

FIST was part of a federation called CISCO in 2003!!!

These days in Lausanne, Switzerland president of WAKO - World association of kickboxing organisation and FIKB - Federazione Italiana Kickboxing Ennio Falsone and new and old president of FISav - International Savate Federation - Julie Gabriel and Gilles Le Duigou try to discover if italian savate is part of italian kickboxing or not.
In Lausanne all three representatives talked about FIST - Federazione Italiana Savate and Thaiboxing and its membership in FIKB - Federazione Italiana Kickboxing. Falsone - president FIKB talked about FIST membership in FIKB from 2004 to 2007. And that FIKB invested a lot of money and time in FIST.



Italian savate? Where it is in its pure form?

It is a weird story because Italian kickboxing grew up from savate and now savate as father should be child of its own child.

Stories about FIST and other savate federations in Italy through all these years tell us that there is no savate continuation through one savate federation. Savate existed in those wonderland called Italy in at least 4 or 5 organisation at the same time in the last 40 years.

These days we can see it in 3 organisation:
