Listen to the wise man pierro Picasso: ( start 5:52 )



Interpretation: Americano, Italiano, Francese. Different styles of behaviour.

FIKB - Italian kickboxing federation without any permition of FIS - International savate federation promotes savate sport as its own in Italian Olympism. Isn't it weird?

FIS - International savate federation recognise in Italy only FISa - Italian savate federation which is not part of FIKB.

And FIS - International savate federation doesn't react?

ITALY: PRESIDENT JACQUES ROGGE CONGRATULATES CONI

Frattini3_cr_cr_crRome, 15 January – on occasion of the remittance of the Olympic Order to the Italian Foreign Minister Mr. Franco Frattini, CONI President Giovanni Petrucci, Secretary General Raffaele Pagnozzi, and IOC members in Italy Vice President Mario Pescante, Franco Carraro and Ottavio Cinquanta went to Lausanne last Thursday, where they met President Rogge.

The Olympic Order, the IOC’s highest distinction for those who distinguish themselves in activities for Olympism, was awarded to Minister Frattini for his commitment towards sport and Olympism, and in particular for his contribution to obtaining permanent observer status with the UN General Assembly for the IOC.

The presence of the IOC within the UN Assembly – where it is represented by Vice President Mario Pescante – was strongly supported by Italy and its Foreign Minister, in the belief that sport is a fundamental component of political culture and of development, and that it greatly contributes to bringing peoples closer.

In his address to Mr. Frattini, IOC President Jacques Rogge also congratulated CONI, defining it a “worldwide model for the way it is organised and how it works.”

The award will be further celebrated at the next CONI national meeting.

Ichiban tournament - Silvia La Notte



Professional fighters - K-1 - round 3x3 min – category -50 kg.

SILVIA LA NOTTE VS. PIRNIE AMY

WAKO - PRO system. FIKB - kickboxing federation of Italy is also part of this system, but Silvia La Notte is part of FIKB (FIKB registered fighter) and not anymore part of FISa - Italian savate federation? Hard to beleive?

Is savate really divided in Italy? Hard to beleive?

TERMINOLOGY AND IDENTITY IS THE THING WE WILL HAVE TO WORK ON IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian national kickboxing team will leave for the Serbian capital Belgrade on June 17 and take part in the qualifying round of the European kickboxing (French boxing) world championship between June 18 and 20.

According to the founder and president of the French box federation of Armenia Robert Rostomyan, the national team will be represented by 4 boxers: Smbat Haroutyunyan (65 kg weight class), Aram Margaryan (70 kg weight class), Gevorg Torosyan (75 kg weght class) and Vahe Gevorgyan (60 kg weight class in the tournament among juniors).

"Our federation was founded in 2003. Since then we have been very successful. In 2005 we brought the Silver from the world championship, in 2006 we won Bronze in the European championship, and in 2007 in the international tournament in Greece 6 our sportsmen took first places, and two were awarded silver medals," Mr. Rostomyan said, adding that he now has big expectations from the coming championship in Serbia.

Manager of the Armenian national team is Volodya Khalatyan, who has trained the team for the last half a year.

French boxing is a synthesis of French Savate and English boxing. Savate, which is also known as boxe française, French Kickboxing or French Footfighting, is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and combines elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Savate is perhaps the only style of kickboxing in which the fighters habitually wear shoes. Around 500 sportsmen are involved in kickboxing in Armenia.

According to Mr. Rostomyan, in the case of successful play in the qualifying round in Belgrade, Armenian boxers will obtain the right to take part in the final combats of the world championship, scheduled for November and December.

"We also project to held championship in Armenia. Belgium will host European championship and we have already been invited to take part in it," Mr. Rostomyan said.

Mike and savate kicks

Mike from Littleton, Colorado, United States we have never seen in our savate world shows beautiful demonstration of savate kicks.

kicks - demos

Reverse (hook kick)



Frontal reverse (crescent kick)

Jogo do Pau - Portugal, Fafe (1986)

Very nice. I still don't know if Jogo do Pau ever wanted to join savate just to help long stick fighting art to survive in Europe. Many do the same thing - the last one I know was Sambo (that was part of Wrestling non-olympic sports). Later Sambo found his own way. But all in all - now we have two stronger sports, and both alive.
