Maryland Savate Federation

Announcements

---------------------------------------------
I recently traveled to Paris to compete in the 6th Annual Tournament of Titis Parisiens, an international Canne de Combat competition. Overall, my team won 7 matches and lost 3, placing 7th out of 18 teams - not too shabby! We had a lot of fun, and can't wait for the next competition open to American competitors.
