Cedric Lapauw - Belgium

He teaches gently and smart belgium kickboxers (Renaud, David, Freddy, Quentin) how to defend against savate fighter. It is not easy play for these boys and Cedric is really patient and precise teacher.

Castagna vs. Ha Van Yoan

Christian N'Ka (FRANCE) vs. Roman Kleibl (CZECH)
Broken tibia at Christian. Some say that osteosclerosis is disease at older womem, but also treatment with agressive hormon therapy can cause the same.

Compilation of fights:

If you work on Canne de combat

If you practice only boxe francaise you are not real savate trainer, and your club is not savate club. Part of savate is certainly canne de combat and many principles teached in Canne fighting are used in Boxe francaise. If you don't understand stick fighting I am sure you don't understand nothing much in La boxe francaise.

Savate forme - savate in music

It is interesting that savate forme, is a reality show in the world of aerobics with elements of martial arts. Every move is performed precise just like in the ring.

Marco Carucci vs. Luca Bergomi

On Saturday, 29 March 2008 at 8:30 p.m. at the Palasport Cornaro of Jesolo, the 2nd “JESOLO FIGHT NIGHT” took place, an evening of international professional ring sports with SAVATE, kick boxing, K-1 rules and Thai boxing.

The sporting event – organized by the Pro Fighting Jesolo Association with the support of the City of Jesolo has planned a breathtaking program of 9 matches with athletes from Belgium, Morocco, Bosnia and various Italian cities. The hometown athletes of Pro Fighting Jesolo who will climb into the ring were Alberto Tonicello in kick boxing and Sara Bortoluzzi and Sergio Kalezic in K1-rules.

The news for Jesolo Fight Night 2008 was a SAVATE match, the F.I.K.B. full-contact professionals’ Italian title in the 75 kg. category between Margiotta and Rigamonti, and the W.AK.O. female professional Thai boxing world title in the 54 kg. category between Silvia Valicelli (Pro Fighting Bologna) and the Belgian Claudia Fontebasso.

Abdominal training

Very interesting exercise for your 6pac. And your spine will thank you also.

Velo misto - Yugoslav nostalgia

Very popular serial in ex-Yugoslavija. No need to explain why.

Vincent Felix

Always the same effect in light categories (english and french boxing). Boxers are to fast and everything in a small world is so dynamic that they ussualy forget school techniques and switch mainly on instictive and reflex moving.

Felix Vincent: (5 combats)
1. combat: 2. series - versus marseillais-champion - victory Vincent
2. combat: tournoi de france - versus Gilet Tierco - victory of Vincent by decision of DO - Judge official
3. combat: gala honorary - versus Gilet Tierco - victoiry Vincent
4. combat: championnat Rhone Alpes - versus Carbonne Romain - victory Carbonne (doctor break in 5. round, arcade open)
5. combat; championships honorary finale - secteur Marseille, versus Carbonne. victory Vincent.

1. combat - Rhone Alpes 22.11.2003, championships of france honorary - "honneur".

Christian N'ka brilliant leg sweeper

Very interesting style of fighting in Full contact kickboxing - developed only in France. I talk about very precise timing of leg sweeps - broght from savate - boxe francaise and called also Coup de Pied bas. Low line kick, not so strong, but almost invisible and very fast working on short distances.

Enoch Effach carry olympic flame

To stop or not to stop Olympic games in Beijing 2008 because of Tibet - China conflict, this certainly wasn't the problem of savate world. Maybe Tibet symbolically represents in this situation savate running toward AGFIS recognition and carrying Chinese olympic flame. But all in all we are only human, like an old song says.

Jerome Turcan highlights

Jerome Turcan in kickboxing, K1 and savate fights with his unussual leg technique. One of the most famous fights was K2 100.000$ tournament in Paris, France bout with Rob Kaman.
Jerome Turcan, France (w) vs. Pottai, Thailand (l)
Turcan starts the hostilities with front kicks and straight punches. He puts a lot of pressure on Pottai, who tries to fight back but is not very effective. Jerome connects well with a jab and the Thai gets an 8-count. He gets up, but is put away with another combination. The fight is over with 15 seconds on the clock in the first round.
Atokawa, Japan (loss) vs. Johnson, England (win)
Tosca Pedritis, Australia (w) vs. Tonoyan, Russia (l)
Lavelle Robinson, USA (l) vs. Rob Kaman, Holland (w)
Turcan (w) vs. Johnson (l)
Pedritis (l) vs. Kaman (w)
Kaman (w) vs. Turcan (l)
Turcan is still fresh from having fought less than 2 rounds in his previous fights. Kaman, on the other hand, has just finished an all out battle against Pedritis. Jerome knows this and starts the round by putting the Dutchman under pressure. He keeps going forward but is countered several times by Rob, who is again using his footwork and body evasion. The round ends with Jerome unloading on his opponent, who is backed up against the ropes. Rob closes his guard and counters when the flurry of punches is over.
In the second round, Rob pays the price for moving so much and fatigue forces him to stand his ground. He tries to keep Turcan away from him and uses single techniques to force a KO. The Frenchmen show some signs of fatigue as well, but he keeps going forward. The round is pretty even.
The third round is pretty much a replay of the previous one. Kaman starts out with more footwork and he uses the front kick very effectively. Turcan is less focused and misses a lot. However, in the last 30 seconds of the round, he corners Rob and deals out blow after blow. Some of these strikes land clearly and snap Kaman's head back. The Dutchman goes to his corner a tired man and is cut at both eyes.
In the fourth round, Jerome starts out rather well with a couple of punches. Unfortunately, he makes the mistake of showing pain after receiving a low kick. Kaman sees his cue and fires of a couple more, which send Turcan to the floor. A swift high kick later, the Frenchman is in need of an 8-count, but he recovers well. Kaman continues punishing his opponent's legs, before connecting with another high kick, which leaves Turcan KO on his feet. The referee steps in and stops the fight.
This is a very exciting fight and Kaman shows a lot of heart and courage.
These days Jerome is active in introducing savate in USA (Disneyland), and in North American Sport Savate Association (N.A.S.S.A.)- http://www.sportsavate.org/

La Nuit des Champions 2002

Jean-François Houis vs. Arsen Kachatrian.
Very nice sweeping. Full contact's only weapon downstairs. But if you use it you have big, big advantage in fight. This kick is Coup de Pied bas - and derives from savate - boxe francaise - french boxing.

Belaïd Asham - Fabrice Barrale - Rani Berbachi - Samir Berbachi - Hervé Busonera - Olivier Cerdan - Edy Draoui - Marcello Feirrera - Frédéric Gargani - Franck Hamdani - Jean-François Houis - Kamel Idir - Surren Khalachyan - Jean-Louis Lahcène - Christophe Landais - Youcef Lattaoui - Farhat Mansouri - Imed Mathlouthi - Franck Mezaache - Slimane Safriouine - Arsen Kachatrian - lionel Spica - Christophe Tendil - Perry Ubeda

TAFISA - Traditional games - Sports for all

Is savate traditioanl French game? National sports of France? Why didn't savate want to participate here in TAFISA? Very interesting games under the patronage of IOC - International Olympic Comittee. Let's say promotion in TAFISA would be great for spreading our sport. Muay thai did it with IFMA.

Moringue - Reunion Capoeira

Mix of different cultures (India, China, Arabia, Africa) on an island of Reunion near Madagscar - Moringue is more fighting oriented. Not so many acrobatic moves like we see in Capoeira but strong will to improve functionality and effect of fighting in its style. Ground strikers are future development of fighting sports, and on the other hand they represent old days techniques.

Combat stars

Understanding of fighting sports is different in France than in other countries. It is strange fact but it is true. If you are rigid, agressive and ego-fighter you just need two weeks of your brain development in some savate club near Paris and your treatment is over. Thanks to savate I finally found what fighting is all about.

French University Savate Assaut Championships 2008

French University assaut championships 2008 in discipline savate/boxe française (french boxing) weight category: 70-75 kg Stan vs. Raco
Stan is also an excelent combat fighter and his adaptation on assaut is still in progress. Brilliant ring judge made good decision, but Stan still cannot control his techniques. I think that Djibrine should make fast training to all combat fighters how to switch from combat to assaut fighting.
