We had a wonderful match day at the London Savate Open on 4 July 2026. For me personally, it was the first time stepping into the role of both official and coach , which made the day especially meaningful. For our club, this was our first international competition , a milestone we will always remember. Our athletes achieved great things: Jonathan won the silver medal in the international junior category. He showed strong determination and even tried spinning kicks, which was impressive and well‑received. Nathan took part in his first Assaut , and his performance was highly rated. He displayed courage, skill, and the true spirit of Savate. We are deeply grateful for the support of parents , whose encouragement and presence made a huge difference. Their backing helps our athletes grow stronger both inside and outside the ring. The event also gave us the chance to meet fighters from different countries and discover new styles. This experience showed us clearly what we need to improve ...

Every martial artist eventually encounters the ancient tactical proverb: “An inch longer, an inch stronger; an inch shorter, an inch more dangerous” (一寸长一寸强，一寸短一寸险). It is a beautiful paradox. A longer weapon grants overt dominance, while a shorter weapon harbors hidden, unpredictable lethal intent. Nowhere is this dynamic more clearly on display than in Bōjutsu (棒術)—the traditional Japanese martial art of the long staff. The Power of the Long: “An Inch Longer, An Inch Stronger” In Bōjutsu, the primary weapon is the Bō , a six-foot (180 cm) wooden staff. It is the literal embodiment of “长而强” (long and strong). Historically developed by Okinawan farmers as a tool for self-defense and refined by Japanese samurai, the Bō relies on overt dominance. Its strength lies in its reach and momentum . By keeping an opponent at a distance, a Bō practitioner dictates the terms of engagement. The philosophy here is one of uncompromising presence : Maximum Leverage: The length allows for devastati...
