"Alexander WALNIER?
Without saying everything, Belgian Savate owes him a lot!"
"From my short experience in the world of Savate - eighteen years – I can tell you that this man is a work-a-holic, demanding all while remaining approachable and attentive to each. It is clear that Savate would not be what it is in the Tournai area, in Belgium or internationally if Alexander WALNIER had not worked this way. Few people are able to bring together so many volunteers for a project set up and often conceived by himself and by those he works with. This is one of the character traits of this man, who is gifted, intelligent and perceptive in his actions. Without saying everything, Belgian Savate owes him a lot!"
Alain Piette, President of the Belgian Royal Federation of Savate

Ten years ago (17th March 1998), I sat in a London Police station with Ollie Batts. I hasten to add that neither of us was under arrest! We were simply waiting for the arrival of Michel Roger, then President of the International Savate Federation. The Police conference room was a convenient place for the inaugural meeting of the Great Britain Savate Federation. It was at that meeting that Ollie and I met with Martin Ross, Richard Muggeridge, and others, and began the wider development of Savate in Great Britain.
