Slovenian minority society in Serbian town of Ruma where the home of Serbian savate is

After creation of Savate federation of Serbia (Vojvodina) and Savate federation of Slovenia (two ex Yugoslav republics (Bosnia and Croatia) lying beetween Slovenia and Serbia) some other society, club or something similar appeared. The name of institution is Slovenian minority group of Ruma, which (why not) practice also sport (maybe also savate). Slovenian minority group in Vojvodina, Serbia is nothing unusual. Imagine those residents of Vojvodina-Serbia with Slovenian roots which dance and sings typical alpine German-Austrain type of polka dances and songs in the middle of a very proud and traditional Serbian population. Brave. Very brave. Patriotic move. And imagine also that in Vojvodina they have also choir (slovenian minority (of course)) in Novi sad which sings typical Slovenian traditional songs (and don't compare these songs with OTTAWAN - Hands Up Baby Hands Up).

Savate club Vuk Ruma, Vojvodina, Serbia


Are you interested in comparison of Slovenian and (Vojvodina) Serbian traditional dances?
Take a look:

Vojvodina - Serbia example (from 2007 Doha Cultural Festival)
(the highest hill in Vojvodina - just a moment called also mountain - Fruska gora (pick at 539 meter))



Slovenian alpine style:
(the highest mountain in Slovenia called Triglav (pick at 2864 meter))

UFC 128, Brenden Schaub vs. Mirko Cro-cop - Another very fast KO - very hard to see

That's why I will never practice MMA, cause I am to slow to see any of these brilliant actions. And when no lessons are learned...

Klitschko vs. Solis - Did you see KO punch?

Solis, Solis why I can't see the deadly punch? Was it to fast even for the camera? Or?

SportAccord and anti-doping service contract

WILL THESE MOVES CHANGE PEOPLE IN COMBAT SPORTS WITH MUSCLES LIKE ARNOLD'S IN FILM TWINS, WHEN DANNY ASKED HIM ABOUT THE BEES ATTACK THAT COULD HAPPENED TO HIS BROTHER TWIN?
The International Fencing Federation (FIE) is the first member of SportAccord to outsource the administration of its anti-doping programme and to sign a contract with SportAccord on the provision of such services.

“The FIE is proud to be the first international sport federation to cooperate in this way with SportAccord and its Doping-Free Sport Unit on anti-doping matters. Although Fencing is considered as a sport at low risk, this collaboration will definitely help our organisation benefit from a specific expertise, reduce costs as well as optimize our efforts in keeping Fencing clean,” says Maxim Paramonov, Secretary General of the FIE.

Hein Verbruggen, President of SportAccord: “One of SportAccord’s main objectives is to support our Members. We are happy if we can offer our help in areas of concern. We are looking forward to this collaboration and we are honoured by the trust FIE has in us. Anti-Doping is a sensitive matter and we will, of course, always comply with the FIE Anti-Doping Rules in force and will strictly respect confidentiality.”

According to the contract SportAccord will provide a number of services to the FIE. “In close collaboration with the FIE we analyzed their needs and developed a tailored service package,” says Françoise Dagouret, Manager Doping-Free Sport Unit at SportAccord. For example, SportAccord will liaise directly with the Fencers registered in the FIE testing pool and give advice on how to provide whereabouts information through ADAMS, the web-based Anti-Doping Administration and Management System of WADA.

New Opportunities for SAVATE promotion on The Sports Hub

WILL SAVATE BE THERE?
SportAccord and YouTube are working on new models to increase promotional opportunities for Members content on The Sports Hub on YouTube. The focus is on the development new monetisation models and of live streaming.

Currently, YouTube offers SportAccord Members the opportunity to monetize their content on The Sports Hub through ads. Members subscribing to this model allow Google to place ads of Google partners in relation to their content.
SportAccord and YouTube are now negotiating on a alternative model for The Sports Hub with the objective to offer members the opportunity to brand the content of their channel with their own partners. The branding will be exclusive and could hence be an interesting feature for IFs to extend their partners’ presence.
The current Members of The Sports Hub will be included in the development on this model and are invited to join the workshop “New Perspectives on The Sports Hub – Monetisation Models and Live Streaming” on 25 March 2011 in Lausanne.

Sinisa wrote about his fight with Yannis Racine when he received strong punches and kicks. Not so many fighters use this kind of promotion. Ussualy they hide their loses and write just about wins.
Dekkers never write about Pennacchio and Zambidis never mention Zankifo, Yamamoto don't talk about Khider.
