Question: Does the French and International Federation honor the certificates of anyone testing in the US?

If you get your all your color ranks registered through ARSIC-International they will be signed by a FIBFSDA Professor of Savate and are approved in the US, in France and Internationally. Further, ARSIC-International will register as US Instructors any Instructor Ranks provided by the FIBFSDA, the FFBFSDA or ARSIC-International Registered instructors with a teaching license in good standing with ARSIC.
Instructors who have been certified Overseas must be approved by ARSIC-International in order to be recognized in the United States. A copy of Instructor certification obtained in France must be provided to ARSIC-International.

ARSIC: 1st level Instructorship (Initiateur) and 2nd level Instructorship Moniteur (1st degree) can be obtained in the USA if examination is provide by an ARSIC-International Registered Companion de la Savate seminar or a seminar provided by the International Federation. 3rd level Instructorship Moniteur (3rd degree) has 2 parts. The written part can be provided by ARSIC-International and the second part must be provided by the International Federation. There are very rare seminars in the USA which are recognized by ARSIC-International and offering 3rd level instructorships. The Moniteur (1st degree)  level is sufficient for teaching Savate, awarding ranks, directing your own club as well as sending students to competition nationally and potentially internationally throught ARSIC-International.


Question: What must I do to become a judge or referee for boxe francaise, canne,or baton contests?

ARSIC: Be a first level instructor that has a good standing teaching license with ARSIC-International (ARSIC Registered Initiator of Savate), be an ARSIC Registered yellow glove of Savate (in good standing) and to take the examination
for Judge and for referee with an ARSIC-International Referee of Savate or at least FIBFSDA International Apprentice Referee of Savate. ARSIC is currently only allowed to provide examination for County, State, and US (National Referee). To go beyond and become an international referee you must go to France and pass the test for FIBFSDA "Apprentice International Referee" and then get enough international fights that you are actually serving as an international
referee. There are, may be, 5 or 6 International fight Referees that I know of that are recognized in the entire world.

Question: Are there any boxe francaise, canne, or baton contests in the US at this time?

ARSIC: Currently, there are only extremely few fights in the USA that are recognized by ARSIC-International because of the lack of referrees in the USA . There are only States fights in California, Texas and some upcoming on the East coast. You should contact Armando Basulto of the New-Jersey Federation. He is in charge of setting the US Team. You need to be minimum Red glove to compete.
