Stage de cannes europeennes avec Riccardo Corridori, Jean-Pierre Julémont, Reynald Némery et Lorenzo Ravazzani Manusardi au gymnase Gaillon de Viroflay.

European stick fighting workshop with Riccardo Corridori, Jean-Pierre Julemont, Reynald Nemery and Lorenzo Ravazzani Manusardi in the Viroflay Gaillon gym.

Test of new padded sticks made in France for Chambara. A short combat of italian canne beetwen Lorenzo Ravazzani Manusardi and Riccardo Corridori, Accademia Manusardi ENBF-Italia, during the last workshop in Viroflay (Paris) "Passages de panoramas".
http://www.passagedespanoramas.eu/2011/09/26/compte-rendu-du-stage-du-18-septembre-2011/

Reynald started the morning hostilities by letting us appreciate his logical work and technique by presenting, beyond a pretext of defense-against-knives exercises, similar and even identical technics of percussion and disarming, first with and then without a stick. The purpose was to increase our awareness for bridges between armed and unarmed works and see the common points.

During the morning, Jean-Pierre Julémont gratified us, such as always, with stick techniques as surprising as « disarming » (in every sense of the word !) with an execution speed that would catch out even the youngest. His techniques are really invisible at first glance and need the slow motion demonstration to grasp all the subtleties.

We stopped at 1:00 pm, since it was time to have a little lunch before carrying on with the « big part » of the day : the one lead by Lorenzo Ravazzani Manusardi helped by his student Riccardo Corridori.

Even if the italian stick fighting comes, among other disciplines, from the Lafond method, its creators managed to draw out the best of it and to enrich it with their own reflexions and exercises that our two latin friends presented us with excellency.

After more than two hours of training, the free assaults let those who wanted to compare, experiment their own method in courteous fights with minimal or even unexisting rules, but above all without constraints. Of course every single assault occurred in an good and fair-play ambiance between gentlemen (and women).

At last, as a final touch, Reynald showed us his team assaults concept, with multiple weapons… This was enough to perturbate the fiercest duelists, while proposing supplementary work and games perspectives.

Around 5:00 pm, everybody went back with a full of techniques and powerful images mind, promising each other to meet again next workshop in Viroflay.

AIBA: Boxing 16 and AIBA Professional Boxing (APB)

A. INTRODUCTION OF BOXING 16

1. Description of Boxing 16

• Boxing 16 is a project initiated by AIBA to carry out various revolutionary strategies in order to truly govern the sport of Boxing at all levels
• Boxing 16 is designed to change the future of the sport of Boxing with AIBA taking the leading position in the following areas:

o       Olympic Boxing (Amateur) and Professional Boxing

o       World Combat and Fighting Sports

o       Global Sports Marketing Industry

o       International Sports Community and Olympic Movement

• The project is designed to accomplish all its missions by the time of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

2. Why Boxing 16?

• In 2007, AIBA declared that its mission would be to govern the sport of Boxing in all its forms and since then, AIBA did not create a program to meet this mission: Boxing 16 is the one to fulfil this mission
• AIBA and WSB programs will face serious consequences if the ultimate outlet for boxers is not provided after the London 2012 Olympic Games
• It is the right time to launch Boxing 16 and Professional Boxing in AIBA in regard to the current global market situation
• AIBA should be the ultimate responsible body for the boxer‘s entire Boxing career
• AIBA should provide more support for all National Federations by generating more revenues and Boxing16 might be the only possible source

3. Goals

• Enhance and create three major properties under the AIBA umbrella as core development and commercial assets:

o        AIBA Amateur Olympic Boxing (AOB)

o        World Series of Boxing (WSB)

o        AIBA Professional Boxing (APB)

• Redefine all different rules into a single, integrated system controlled by one governing body
• Launch a Boxing Marketing Arm (BMA) to lead and manage all commercial properties
• Develop a massive grassroots foundation to sustain a continuous high level of production of boxers
• Upgrade the global image and reputation of Boxing and AIBA to take the sport back to its “Golden Age”

4. Situation Analysis – Boxing in Past

• Believe in the sport of Boxing as a great commodity; however, it has been badly packaged and poorly managed for the past 30 years
• Currently seen as two completely separate Boxing worlds – Amateur and Professional

o        Without cooperation and unity

o        Two different rules, competition styles

o        No crossover careers for boxers, coaches, officials, etc.

• Recognized permanently as poor people‘s sport with a violent attribute – led to limited commercial value
• However, positive gradual acceptance as a potential health-related exercise
• Stained and unpolished Sport Giant in International Sports

5. What to Accomplish – Boxing for the Future

• To enhance and manage Boxing as one of the most beloved and demanded commercial sport products
• To integrate all Boxing organizations and bodies worldwide:

o        Work under the supervision of AIBA for the protection and security for the best interests of the boxers and of the Boxing family

• To be respected as one of the most popularly supported sports around the world for addressing the social development problems of young men and women, especially in developing countries
• To create an environment in which the boxers can enjoy Boxing with some transparent and fair judging in competitions · To change the image and reputation of the sport of Boxing as:

o        Genuine human competitive sport – no violence

o        A sport for all, regardless of background and social status

o        A sport that provides all young people with hopes and dreams

6. Situation Analysis – AIBA in Past

• Declared to be the leader in the worldwide sport of Boxing; however, it is not possible to be the true leader unless it reforms and directly manages the professional world
• Constrained by limited resources to govern the Boxing world globally

o        Overly political without constructive ambitions and visionary missions thus unable to build on the sport‘s potentials

o        No connections with global business partners or strategic alliances

o        Struggling for financial independence · Participation of members with outdated knowledge and experience – lack of innovation and future-orientated thinking

o        Needs stronger and more revolutionary reforms than ever before

7. What to Accomplish – AIBA for the Future

• To become the true leader in managing and supervising all levels of Boxing worldwide
• To govern all levels of Boxing under one integrated set of rules to generate a more respected, exciting and attractive sport for TV, commercial partners and spectators
• To become a controlling and safe financial resource for all boxers in developing countries around the world
• It is now time to move up to either A or B level Olympic sports in the Olympic movement

8. Main Strategy for Success

• Create AIBA Professional Boxing (APB) starting 2013

o        Become the ultimate outlet for boxers so that unless they become professionals, the highlight of their career is their AIBA career

• Consolidate all properties and market them under one operational umbrella by creating AIBA marketing agency – Boxing Marketing Arm (BMA)

o        Targeted at global penetration

o        Forge strategic partners with all key sectors interested in sports and Boxing

o        Create, own and distribute innovative sport & entertainment & legacy programs

• Concentrate on essential core products for success – best boxers (champions) and coaches
• Solicit and manage support from IOC, National Federations and all existing Boxing stakeholders

9. The Structure of Boxing 16 – The Background

• AIBA properties are all Amateur level events managed by National Federations competing among nations
• WSB is a competition among franchised teams with professional rules
• AIBA now intends to form its new professional property which will be named “AIBA Professional Boxing (APB)” as follows:

o        Only AIBA amateur boxers can turn to APB boxers

o        APB boxers should remain as members of National Federations

o        Details conditions are also described in the APB property pages

• As the sole governing body of all 3 programs, AIBA needs to find a way to synergize all efforts and manage them

10.The Structure of Boxing 16 Chart

11. Technical & Competition Rules

• With the launches of the World Series of Boxing (WSB) and AIBA Professional Boxing (APB), it is strongly recommended for the fundamental rules of all 3 programs to be identical
• Through the demonstration of attractiveness and public interest coming from WSB competitions, the rules should be based on the WSB Technical & Competition Rules
