If the annual vacation times are an occasion for many to share a period of well-deserved rest with their families, there are others who continue to maintain the fire, far from their homes.
A proof of this was the travel of a FFSBF delegation to Cameroon from
the 17th to 23rd July 2011, at the invitation of Mr Ali ADJI President
of the African Savate Confederation. Joël DHUMEZ, Rodolphe REDON, Hubert
ABELA, accompanied by 4 fighters of the French national teams (who you
will recognise on the photo), took the responsibility of providing
technical and refereeing training courses.
This visit was followed widely in Cameroon, in the written press and in
the TV and radio media. The delegation was received by the Minister of
the Sports in person who, thanking everyone, through the intermediary of
Vice-President Joël DHUMEZ, asserted his support for the development of
Savate in Cameroon, and for the work carried out by the President Ali
ADJI.
Despite the warm Cameroonian hospitality, the trainers did not deviate
from their objective of raising the skill levels of the fighters, or
the level of expertise of the officials, numbering 13 trainees.
In addition, there was an opportunity, after the training, to fight in
the France-Cameroon Gala, in which the Cameroonian fighters shared the
number of victories with their opponents (2 to 2).
Satisfied with the work done, the President Ali ADJI proposed to receive a delegation again in 2012.
