GBSF Savate Open Training & Grading Day - 26th November 2006 There was a really good turn out for this latest GBSF-sanctioned Savate day, held in the Gymnasium at Coleridge Community College, with people travelling from places as far as: Malvern, Oxford, London, and Birmingham. There were also a few from Cambridge too! As well as the usual Boxe Savate kickboxing training, sessions were also held for Savate Defence and Canne de Combat. Several people undertook coloured glove grading tests, for the first four levels of: Blue, Green, Red and White Glove. We are very pleased to say that there were a lot of happy but tired people who left the Gym late afternoon.

A fun night out for most of us - apart from Newman, perhaps, who had the front wheel nicked from his bike whilst it was parked up outside...   Canne de Combat seminar - Jean Pierre Laure - 18th November 2006 This Saturday afternoon seminar took place in the Gym, at Netherhall Lower School. The day itself was very informative, and great fun. We trained both Grand Baton and Canne de Combat. Jean Pierre also brought some cheese and wine over from France with him, and so we ended the day having a rather pleasant 'picnic' in the Gymnasium.   European Canne de Combat Championships - 21st & 22nd October 2006 The 1st European Canne de Combat Championships were held in Schiltigheim, near Strasbourg in October.
