| He went on to compete in many Junior and Senior galas, tournaments and championships - his achievements included: Junior champion Europe (1984), 3rd European championships (1988), World Vice champion (1989) and 3rd World championships (1991). 
Miodrag expressed his gratitude to Damien Wehr, who had encouraged him to continue in Boxe Francaise Savate after he lost his first fight, and the sense of privilege he felt having met a lot of great people from the world of French boxing: Christian Guillaume, Bob Alix, Jean-Marie Gacaker...  In 1986, he had his first fight against Gilles le Duigou, Champion of Europe at that time. The fight took place in Rijeka (Croatia). Miodrag was leading on points until the 4th round, when he was stopped by a strike to the liver. After the fight, Gilles handed the trophy to him, held up his hand and started the applause. The crowd cheered this example of fair play. Roles were reversed in a rematch, held in Belgrade in 1987, when he stopped Gilles in the 5th round, with a punch to the stomach. Inspired by Gilles' earlier example, he gave his trophy to Gilles. After that, Boxe Francaise Savate became his way forward:
"Boxe Francaise is the way of honour, the way of art, the way of chivalry, the way of the knights. You learn how to fight, how to move, and you learn your mind - how to listen, how to work and how to obey." These earlier influences remain with him. Miodrag Jotic has been a member of the Serbian Olympic Committee for 7 years, and a member of the Commission for Fair-play. He founded an organisation in Serbia promoting fair-play, and in 2008 started a "Fighting against the Violence Project" in Novi Sad. This project has included demonstrations of different martial arts to help young people get into sport, with qualified trainers, and to leave behind aggressive attitudes. All the young people who took part were awarded diplomas, with graphics promoting the World Anti-doping Agency code. On the 20th June 2009, in Novi Sad, Miodrag Jotic was awarded the diploma of "Honour Member" of the International Savate Federation by his old adversary and friend, FIS President Gilles Le Duigou. An honour greatly deserved!  |

Can Damien Wehr help savate?
Damien Wehr is very respected lawyer.
He is also guilty for savate to come to Yugoslavia (Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia...)
Can he help now FIS to come to Sportaccord / AGFIS /GAISF?
...and to escape those stories about "evil" people who didn't take care about savate and forget to send the post :) as showed the case of Mr. Bukovac from Croatian savate ?

SportAccord/GAISF introduces its new Director, Nolvenn Dufay de Lavallaz
IS THIS NEW SAVATE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN SPORTACCORD/AGFIS/GAISF?
Christine Dominguez, former director general of GAISF, departed the organization earlier in the wake of the decision at the March general assembly to move its headquarters from Monaco to Lausanne.
17 July 2009
SportAccord (previously known as GAISF, the General Association of International Sport Federations) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs Nolvenn Dufay de Lavallaz as its new Director.
Nolvenn Dufay de Lavallaz, 34, from France, started her career on the field of play, coaching elite gymnastics. In 1999, she joined the French Ministry of Youth and Sports to develop sports and cultural activities at regional level, and educate coaches and administrators.
Graduated in Sport Management and holding a professional elite coach diploma, Dufay de Lavallaz completed her education in 2002 with an International Master in Humanities, Management and Law of Sport (CIES/FIFA Master).
She then joined the IOC Sports Department, where she led the first global sports evaluation for the review of the Olympic Programme and oversaw the organisation of the Sports Operations for the Beijing Olympic Games. More recently, she managed the Athletes section, developing new programmes to better support Olympians.
Announcing the new appointment, SportAccord President Hein Verbruggen said; "The appointment of Nolvenn is key at this point of the history of our organisation. We are restructuring deeply SportAccord in order to better support our Members and offer them new services. Nolvenn's experience in developing programmes, as well as her understanding of the sports environment, makes her contribution a real asset."
Commenting on her appointment, Dufay de Lavallaz said; "I have always considered GAISF and now SportAccord as a great opportunity for the sports Federations and Organisations to share knowledge and experience, develop expertise and get services that are commonly needed. I am proud to lead this organisation, especially at this very special moment where we face challenging changes, for the best of the organisation. I believe we can bring more to our Members; this is and will remain our objective."

25th FISU conference - Declaration of Belgrade
July 5th, 2009
The role of university sports in education and society
A platform for change
The International University Sport Federation (FISU) Conference, was held from July 2nd to 5th 2009, on the occasion of the 25th Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia.
More than 130 researchers, professors, university rectors, students and university sports officials from 35 countries from the five continents underlined the unique importance and special opportunities which university sport in the widest terms can contribute to the educational process within higher education. They also insisted on the fact that sport is much more than a tool for education: it should be established as a human right and part of human responsibilities.
The main theme of “University sports, a platform for change”, was chosen in the context of the new “knowledge society”, but also in the context of the economical, societal and ecological crisis affecting the whole world. The Intention was to elaborate on the undoubted value of participation in sport as part of a life-long learning process.
Internationally renowned keynote speakers variously demonstrated that knowledge generates new opportunities and power for mankind, but this requires more responsibility and accountability. Making ethics and value systems endogenous to the decision systems, in all fields including sports, is an absolute necessity for the global sphere, in order to realize world stability, sustainability, understanding and peace.
I – Conference participants discussed the fact that University Sport has the power to develop social, educational, cultural and ethical responsibility in young people. They strongly advocated an increasing role for University Sport as a key driver, both in offering the student a comprehensive educational experience and in delivering well founded, young citizens for the future.
Involvement in University Sport brings in particular the following benefits:
• Character formation and consolidation of ethical values, based on the respect for others, on fair-play and on truth; • Acknowledgement of cultural diversity and the appreciation of intercultural contact.;
• Team working, advanced levels of autonomy and self regulation, with obvious benefits at both cognitive and motivational levels;
• social competencies and active citizenship; • Organisation and project planning;
• Development of higher levels of thought and decision making; • Life long learning - emotional intelligence and balance of the “self”, especially through the capacity to defer gratification and to manage strategic long-term objectives; • Good mental and physical health and increased productivity; • Improved mobility as skilled, international and inter-generational communicators;
II - The development of these valuable skills through engagement in the field of university sport should be formalised.
1/ Participants emphatically welcomed the concept that Universities should organize physical education, physical activities, sport for all and competitive high level sport, as part of both extracurricular and required programs.
2/ Participants, while assessing their support for the general principle, urge organisations with competencies in higher education, all over the world, to engage in co-
ordinating their policies to reach in the short term the following objectives, which are considered to be of primary relevance:
- development of transversal multidisciplinary scientific researches and educational programs including ethics, value systems, anti-doping, fair play, physical education, healthy lifestyle and sport ;
- multidisciplinary courses should be formalised through specific diplomas or a credit point system in higher education.
- readiness of universities to provide sports facilities for students and university personnel to take part in physical exercise and sport activities according to their interests and aptitudes. To make effective, innovative use of resources, government and educational authorities will need to partner each other in the maintenance and development of quality facilities, especially those located within academic communities. Furthermore, university sport support services should be established as a core function of the university welfare and administration services, guaranteeing that students’ views are continually monitored;
- making universities « central databases » for study and research in ethics, value systems, anti-doping, fair play, physical education, physical activities healthy lifestyle and sport;
- making universities the center of learning and exchange of information for the community so as to lead to cultural exchange;
- creating and continuously developing networking among universities, both nationally and internationally;
3/ Participants hereby undertake to attain these objectives within the framework of their institutional capabilities and taking full respect of the diversity of cultures, languages, national education systems and of University autonomy. To that end they will pursue the possibilities of inter-universitiy co-operation.
4/ Participants expect universities to contribute actively to the achievment of those goals.
5/ University sports – competitive sports and sports for all – is a major value added to youth and to human society, even though it is not equally developped in diverse nations, regions and continents. Participants ask FISU to emphasize the scientific analysis of university sports and impulse a world wide strategy :
-to develop new concepts and models of sports practices based on active, creative involvment of students in sports, cultural and artistic activities.
-to insure that university sports is sufficiently considered at all political and educational levels in diverse nations, regions, continents.
6/ Participants support and urge FISU to continue to develop a strategy in support of the above, which would utilise its international links with members and partners to develop a capacity building platform for accreditation and life long learning through university sport. In particular, it is suggested that FISU should establish formal links and cooperation with :
-UNESCO, the leading world organisation in the essential fields of education, culture and ethical values. FISU should be active in participating in the works of CISEPS, the UNESCO permanent intergovernemental Committee for physical Education and Sport.
-WADA, the leading world organisation for antidoping education.
-CIFP, the International Committee for Fair Play.
This will make greater the University Sports and FISU contribution to the practice and endogenisation of ethics values systems that the 21st century global human society needs as a necessary condition for its stability and for peace.

Roger Paschy - Muay Thai pioneer - France
Sport: Karate
Name: Roger Paschy
Subtitle: In the Footsteps of Bruce Lee
Info: Roger Paschy first started learning karate at the age of 16. Eight years later, he was a budding world champion. Born in Saigon, Paschy has at his command all the secrets of this martial art. He performs each attack in masterful fashion and with a strength which for a long time meant he was the most respected exponent of karate in Europe, along with the Frenchmen Dominique Valera and Gilbert Gruss. Because he wanted to know and understand thoroughly the other martial arts, this world team champion (1972) started studying the disciplines of budo known as the nunchaku and the bo. For seven years, he worked with the master Kitamura, a fifth dan in karate and in kobudo, in his dojo at Nara in Japan. His progress in competition was rapid, and in his very first appearance in the French championships he finished third (1968). He was selected for the French team in 1970 and stayed with it for five years, during which he won three European championship titles and one world team championship title in Paris. As a representative of the Police Sports Association, Roger Paschy was unfortunate to find himself having to fight such exceptional sportsmen as Valera and Gruss in the days before categories were divided by weight. After the appearance of a lightweight category, he became European champion and towards the end of his career as an "amateur", he almost made it to the winner's rostrum of the 1975 World Championships in Long Beach, where he was beaten by the Japanese Murakami. In 1976, he changed direction and became the cinema's second Bruce Lee when he appeared in Christian Jacque's film "Doctor Justice". As full-contact European champion once he had turned professional, he soon relinquished his title in order to devote more time to his forthcoming book on Karate: technique and efficiency.

Russian President Medvedev meets Universiade Medallists
In small Slovenia - where the center of European University sport EUSA is - Olympic Committee of Slovenia and other newspapers didn't pay much of attention on Universiade 2009.
On July 17th, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev met the winners and medallists of the Russian delegation at the 25th Summer Universiade in Belgrade, Serbia. The meeting was held in Ekaterininsky Hall of the Kremlin in Moscow. The Russian delegation headed the medal table tally with 76 medals (27 gold, 22 silver & 27 bronze).
The President congratulated the members of the Russian student's team - sportsmen and coaches - with the victory and wished them success in future competitions and their university studies.
The Russian President, a former university professor himself, is a strong supporter of university sport. In 2008 he met a FISU delegation chaired by FISU Vice-President Stefan Bergh on their way to Kazan, at that time a candidate city for the 2013 Summer Universiade.
President Medvedev pronounced a decree to secure the preparation and holding of the 27th Summer Universiade in Kazan in 2013 and the 22nd Winter Olympic Games and 11th Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi in 2014 earlier this year.

Prof. POPEYE calls for unification of USA savate
Is this a chance for one of the biggest future savate federation?
It has been a few years since we have had the momentum of savateurs that we have now. For several reason I had left the board and my position as executive Director.
The reasons were the political up reset of the French federation claiming that we did not want to work with the contemporary Savate groups of the East and west coast of the United Sates. Even when I and several others had invited their apparent leaders to partake in the events.
The second was that in Laredo we had uncovered a shenanigan movement of thievery against the Youth of Laredo within the board of the Laredo Amateur Boxing Club. Who the director Angel Santiago had mistreated and had over 350 thousand dollars disappear. While Finding out that the City of Laredo Corrupt ways had infiltrated that organization. Where the city Manager Larry Dovalina , Chief of Police Agustine Dovalina a district Judge Andy Reyes and several county commissioners were involved with the misappropriation of funds. So we had Police Units give traffic citations to the savateurs of my School we had them threaten my Family members and had several Laredo Police Officers try to heat me up as they say.
Unfortunately Good always prevails. So that was the reason I left the organization. I was asked this past season by two Board members to rekindle the movement o USA SAVATE and I have done so.
On June 27th We kicked of the movement with a Steak Plate Sale to purchase a Boxing Ring for the Group. Since our old Boxing ring was stolen by an ex member of USA SAVATE Fernando Cantu and his Father.
The cost of the new ring is between $8000.00 to $9000.00 dollars and we had a total of $1400.00 made this past weekend.
The unity and everyone worked together from the members of the Webb County District Attorneys office, the Webb county sheriffs department, Webb Constable Tino Juarez and the tribe of Buitron Academy.
We started at 4am on Saturday with Cornelo Flores starting the grill for the 500 steaks . Then we had Omar Rodriguez show up to aide in the effort .
Around 6 am we had the first group of savateurs show up to assist and build the gazebo as well as to prepare the plates.
Due to the different work schedule we had everyone that could help, help. The groups effort especially with in USA SAVATE is to formulate several satellite clubs in Webb County , Dallas County and other county's in the State of Texas for this upcoming season.
Everyone worked hard with leading the pack inside in the cool air was Mrs. Cindy Cavazos , in preparing the plates , bread and napkins for the 500 plates.
By 8:30 am the 300 steak were done and out of the way. the amazement was on the versatile movement of these veteran carne asada doers. By 9:30 am all on the steaks were done and out of the way. In fact the The rice and beans that was cooked by the Webb County Sheriffs Department was excellent.
At 11am the plates were ready to go and the rush began everyone was on point and ready to fill the plates with the steaks and Spanish rice.

The reasons were the political up reset of the French federation claiming that we did not want to work with the contemporary Savate groups of the East and west coast of the United Sates. Even when I and several others had invited their apparent leaders to partake in the events.
The second was that in Laredo we had uncovered a shenanigan movement of thievery against the Youth of Laredo within the board of the Laredo Amateur Boxing Club. Who the director Angel Santiago had mistreated and had over 350 thousand dollars disappear. While Finding out that the City of Laredo Corrupt ways had infiltrated that organization. Where the city Manager Larry Dovalina , Chief of Police Agustine Dovalina a district Judge Andy Reyes and several county commissioners were involved with the misappropriation of funds. So we had Police Units give traffic citations to the savateurs of my School we had them threaten my Family members and had several Laredo Police Officers try to heat me up as they say.
Unfortunately Good always prevails. So that was the reason I left the organization. I was asked this past season by two Board members to rekindle the movement o USA SAVATE and I have done so.
On June 27th We kicked of the movement with a Steak Plate Sale to purchase a Boxing Ring for the Group. Since our old Boxing ring was stolen by an ex member of USA SAVATE Fernando Cantu and his Father.
The cost of the new ring is between $8000.00 to $9000.00 dollars and we had a total of $1400.00 made this past weekend.
The unity and everyone worked together from the members of the Webb County District Attorneys office, the Webb county sheriffs department, Webb Constable Tino Juarez and the tribe of Buitron Academy.
We started at 4am on Saturday with Cornelo Flores starting the grill for the 500 steaks . Then we had Omar Rodriguez show up to aide in the effort .
Around 6 am we had the first group of savateurs show up to assist and build the gazebo as well as to prepare the plates.
Due to the different work schedule we had everyone that could help, help. The groups effort especially with in USA SAVATE is to formulate several satellite clubs in Webb County , Dallas County and other county's in the State of Texas for this upcoming season.
