CONGRATULATIONS to our two savateurs who represented the New Jersey
Savate federation ("TEAM BAD" out of BASULTO ACADEMY OF DEFENSE) this
Saturday at BATTLEGROUNDS II in Bergenfield, NJ.

This was an amateur Muay Thai kickboxing event which featured 12
exciting fights on the evening's card.

- LUKE FORELLE dominated his opponent Jack Williams all three
rounds. Williams had a strong right hook and hefty Thai kick, but
Luke landed a barrage of straight rights and low Savate kicks that
rocked his opponent off his feet. Savate high/low attacks and
footwork prevailed in this match.
Congratulations on a glorious win!
We will be losing Luke to Cornell University next semester, but he
will always be a "BAD MAN"!

- ROLANDO GARCIA had a "war" with a very tough Anthony "Extreme"
Urena, exchanging knees and body shots in the clinch. Rolando landed
some snapping low crosses and even one of his trademark "chasse
laterals" to the midsection of Urena in Round 3.
At the end of the 3 rounds, the judging was TIGHT on the score cards
(two judges had the fight scored 29-28!), but the win went to Urena.
Nonetheless, Rolando represented the skill and heart that is the
hallmark of all B.A.D. Savate fighters.

Several other coaches commented that our fighter's "conditioning
showed". In true Savate fashion, they stood (rather then sit) during
rounds and looked like they could go another 10 rounds; no problem.

You can always recognize a Savateur because he always looks like he's
waiting for one more round!

Special thanks to the guys who worked the corner with me, Norman
Taylor (President of NJSF) and Chrystian Adachowski.
