Alexandre Walnier,
Belgian Royal Federation of Savate
Written by Alain Piette (translation: Julie)
"Alexander WALNIER? Without saying everything, Belgian Savate owes him a lot!"
"From my short experience in the world of Savate - eighteen years – I can tell you that this man is a work-a-holic, demanding all while remaining approachable and attentive to each. It is clear that Savate would not be what it is in the Tournai area, in Belgium or internationally if Alexander WALNIER had not worked this way. Few people are able to bring together so many volunteers for a project set up and often conceived by himself and by those he works with. This is one of the character traits of this man, who is gifted, intelligent and perceptive in his actions. Without saying everything, Belgian Savate owes him a lot!"
Alain Piette, President of the Belgian Royal Federation of Savate
Portrait of Alexandre WALNIER
Alexandre WALNIER was born in Tournai on 28th April 1957. He gained a Masters degree in the Management of Sports Organisations (MEMOS) after working closely with the International Olympic Committee at Lausanne in 1997, and after having successfully followed the Belgian Olympic Academy in 1992.
Boxe française; his sport, his life!
Directed to this sport by Michel MATTEZ – his physical education teacher - he soon became a coach with ADEPS* and was a federal instructor at the age of... 21 years. He created his club three years earlier. The Tournai school of Savate was established at the Notre Dame Institute before moving to the Lycée Royal, Saint-Piat, where it had 130 members. .. and the CET sports hall. Alex WALNIER also ran the Templeuve and Mouscron clubs.
In 1980, he became secretary of the French-speaking federation and technical director, posts that he has occupied since. In 1985, he became General Secretary of the International Federation, and stayed in post until 2001, when he was elected International President to replace Michel Roger. He had already been President of the Competitions Commission since 1991. He held these posts until September 2003. At the Belgian Federation, he was President for six years before handing over Ivan Umek, and currently to Alain PIETTE. He has organized fourteen World and European Championships in Belgium since 1984.
Administrator of the Olympic Committee and AISF!
President of the Hainaut Olympic Committee since 1993, he was a member of the Belgian Inter-federal Olympic Committee (COIB), where from 1997 to 2001, he was on the board of directors. He is still a COIB administrator, and member of the Selection Commission for the Turin and Beijing Games. He attended the Olympic Games in Atlanta (1996), Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004) as well as the University Games of Fukuoka (Japan, 1995) and Bangkok (2007). Within AISF (the Inter-federal Association of French-speaking Sport), he was elected administrator and is currently the treasurer.
After developing Savate-Boxe Française in Belgium, Alexander WALNIER began his quest to travel the world and bring recognition to his sport. Since taking up the technical direction of Belgian Savate in 1980, Alexander WALNIER has contributed greatly to increasing the number of licence holders from 400 to a little more than 2500. Alex WALNIER equally wanted better international representation of our country. He wanted to put the athletes at the centre – organisers had tended to put on competitions for the show more than the sport. He was opposed to the new idea of gladiators of the ring.
Alexander WALNIER gained these results without having been a high level sportsman: he said that to be a leader, it is important to know about human resources and management. To achieve results, one should gain skills and set challenges. It is necessary to be ambitious, to want to go as far as possible not for oneself but to serve others. He has said that he believes that he could have worked as well at the international level for, say, fishing as for Savate. But good will is not enough to be a good leader. Even in the lower levels of soccer, it is necessary to have training. Athletes and trainers become more professional and have the right to expect the same of presidents, secretaries.., insists Alexander WALNIER. There is also a problem in the clubs where paid sportsmen and officials work alongside volunteers who offer free a little of their time without a requirement for precise competences.
* ADEPS is an administrative service of the Ministry of the French Community of Belgium charged with the promotion of sport and physical education amongst the population of the French-speaking community.

Morroco - SAVATE assaut seminar 2008
CHRISTOPHE NEUVILLE - SAVATE assaut trainer/coach of French Savate Federation's selection visited Morroco. Although combat-savate strong countries like Morroco and Hungary (Christophe NEUVILLE also visited them)- they still need improvement on a technical level of assaut - light contact which is a basis for good tactical fighting in full contact version - combat.
Heart and power are not enough.

Low line and high line
Learn non-violent and effective savate tricks using smart leg kicks.
Why head guard in assaut? It is safer and allows head "toe" kicks more freedom.

AIBA - World series to revolutionalise boxing
Source: http://sports.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Other_Sports/Boxing/World_series_to_revolutionalise_boxing/articleshow/3980172.cms
NEW DELHI: The performance of Indian boxers at Beijing Games made them national heroes with the game catching the imagination of youngsters across
the country. Now, the Indian fans will get the opportunity to see some of the top boxers of the world in action at home.
In order to satisfy the ever-growing need of watching knock-outs and to ride the gravy-train of professional boxing, the game’s world amateur body (AIBA) has signed a treaty with marketing firm IMG to introduce ‘World Series Boxing’ from March, 2010 in which Delhi will be one of the 12 teams from across the world that will vie for the title.
In the series, somewhat similar to professional leagues like EPL or IPL, three continents - Asia, Europe and America - will each have four city teams (read countries) participating in the event which will see boxers exchanging blows without headgears and vests, fighting five rounds of three minutes each with five bouts in five categories with home-and-away matches thrown in.
The boxers will stand to make a reasonable amount of money, which was so far unheard of in amateur boxing, and will still be allowed to take part in the Olympics, unlike the professional boxers.
The ‘cities’ will fight among themselves before one qualifies for the grand finale to be held at Macau, which is famous for casinos, much like what Las Vegas is.
"To take Asia’s example, Delhi will first fight Bangkok and then Bangkok will come down to Delhi to fight here. At the end of five bouts, the scores will be counted. Only one country from each continent will be able to go through to the semi-final to be held at Macau. The fourth slot in the semis will go to the ‘best loser’," said PK Muralidharan Raja, secretary of Indian Boxing Association. Raja was part of the AIBA-IMG meeting in China on January 11, which was attended by the amateur heads from all across the world.
The World Series, when it comes into play in 2010, will be a fertile ring for the boxers as well as their respective federations to earn good money now and to sustain the flow when they retire. A franchisee from one continent will be allowed to buy boxers from other countries.
"Let’s say Cuba might be interested in buying Vijender Kumar and Akhil Kumar. Their franchisee will then have to get in touch with the Indian franchisee to sort out money issues in order to buy them. The boxers will themselves have to sign a contract with their respective federations so that a certain percentage of the money that is earned by them will also filter down to the federations," said Raja.
This decision was taken since the federations support a boxer when he goes through his bends. But when the boxer comes through and earns cash benefits, he does not share it with the federation. The World Series will help the federation to make money from the franchisee.
It will also make the boxers participating in the Series more secure as they will get pension after retiring.

KALI is more effective than Canne de Combat
With savateurs like this we will certainly win, come to AGFIS and deserve more respect in martial arts.
I think that author of this text doesn't know nothing about canne de combat - and if I summarize all this - he doesn't know anything about savate also. Savate is a system not - fighting sport of divided parts.

Full contact French stick fighting. Maybe not as effective as Kali, but it’s an elegant style for a more civilized time.
