Croatian WU SHU kung fu federation

http://www.hrvatskiwushu.hr

While Croatian savate federation is one of the strongest savate forces in the world (combat of course), their federation is just provisional member of Croatian Olympic Committee.
On the other hand we have Wu shu kung fu federation of Croatia which nobody these years didn't mention at all. Why? Because it is a new one.
New one but imediately recognised by Croatian Olympic Committee, what Savate federation of Croatia - the strongest in savate didn't succed in all these years?
What is wrong with FIS and Croatian savate?

World Combat Games 2013 with SAVATE - french boxing and canne de combat



The first planning meeting for the 2013 World Combat Games took place in Lausanne in November. I am pleased to inform you that Savate has been included in the planning for the Games. The vision for the Games is for a “Festival Atmosphere”, with the competition taking in place in 4 venues, over 8 days.
A competition schedule will be designed to group together sports with similar technical requirements (e.g. for rings or mats) and to allow each sport to gain “Prime-time” media exposure.

The FISav Competitions Commission will propose selection criteria for athletes interested in competing in the Games. SportAccord asks for a minimum of 8 high level athletes per category, coming from a wide range of countries, and for a good balance between male and female categories. Qualification events must be completed 3 months before the start of the Games.

SportAccord is encouraging the International Federations to include additional disciplines, so we may be able to include Canne de Combat. There will be a cultural programme to reflect the ancient traditions and values of the participating sports and their contribution to society. There will also be an Ambassador Program, which will be launched in 2012. The Ambassadors are seen as symbols of their sport; they participate in various activities during the eight days of competitions and promote the Combat Games and the martial arts to the public.

For more information about the 2010 Combat Games in Beijing have a look at: www.worldcombatgames.com. The next planning meeting will take place in London, in April 2011

FISU «City Events» in Brussels

Julie Gabriel - quite and 24 hours per day working FIS "machine" about University savate. Please read.
More than 400 delegates, including the Fédération Internationale de Savate visited Brussels in November (17th-19th) for the first edition of the international conference "City Events". Organized by FISU and partners, from the perspective of the next Universiades, the theme of the conference this year was “From Sport Event to Citywide”. With this initiative, FISU wished to highlight the international scope of the Universiades, enhancing the reputation and image of the host cities and the economic and cultural aspects beyond the sport events.
The testimonies given by the national and international representatives about sporting events in various disciplines, as well as feedback from the public institutions and sports marketing firms, showed the cultural and economic value of sport, and particularly university sport, in these times. Is it necessary to point out the huge publicity surrounding the allocation of the FIFA World Cup..?
It was interesting to observe the way the media and promotion enhances the image of the host cities, but equally, thinking about Savate, the potential for an increase in international recognition.
The 2013 Universiades will be held in Russia, in the city of Kasan - a small city of 100,000 inhabitants – whose representatives showed an interest in the participation of Savate. It is possible, however, that there could be a clash of dates with the SportAccord Combat Games due to take place in the same country.
South Korea will host the 2015 Universiades in Gwangiu. The members of the Korean delegation, although surprised by my approach, seemed rather curious and very receptive to the idea of including Savate in their games… And, after all, why not launch a bridge head towards Asia via the "The Land of the morning calm" and Taekwondo?!
