This past World Pugilist Hall of Fame of USA SAVATE unified that notion —
you are who you hang with, and when you stand among the best, you rise with them.

“Listen, in this life — and in this game — if you stop learning, you start losing. You might be great at what you do, but there’s always someone out there who moves different, thinks different, fights different. Cross-training opens your eyes to that. You start seeing the angles you missed, the timing you never felt before. That’s how you grow — not just as a fighter, but as a person. Respect the arts, study them, learn from them. That’s how you stay sharp.”

“Hey, lemme tell ya somethin’ — if you’re only stickin’ to one style, you’re cheatin’ yourself, understand? Every art’s got somethin’ — the rhythm, the footwork, the attitude. You mix it up, you see the world different. You learn how every fighter thinks, how they move. That’s how you get ahead. You don’t just fight better — you become better. You gotta see it all, learn it all.”

18th Annual World Pugilist Hall of Fame — Honoring Legacy, Discipline, and Fellowship

This year’s 18th Annual World Pugilist Hall of Fame was an unforgettable celebration of dedication, discipline, and unity. The workshops were outstanding, the camaraderie unmatched, and the awards banquet was truly exceptional. It was a weekend where every participant understood the deeper meaning behind the arts — the balance between protection, respect, and discipline.A special acknowledgment goes to USA SAVATE: Boxe Française & Canne de Combat Commission, Inc., whose ongoing work, members, and instructors continue to elevate the standard of martial excellence across the nation.

I want to thank the public officials who attended and supported this year’s event, standing with us in recognizing the cultural and educational value of the martial arts. Witnessing the diversity of disciplines — from sport to self-defense and urban combatives — reminded us of the strength that comes from unity and shared purpose.I was deeply humbled by the recognition from U.S. Congressman Henry Cuellar for my life’s work, and by the proclamation from the Texas House of Representatives, presented by Representative Don McLaughlin and Representative Richard Raymond, both honoring our continued efforts to build fellowship and community through the martial arts. I never set out in search of recognition — it was simply the road that life placed before me.

To everyone who has supported this journey, to the instructors and members of USA SAVATE, and to those who continue to teach, protect, and inspire — thank you. With the utmost humility, I am forever grateful.

— Prof. Paul-Raymond Buitrón III

Just wrapped up an amazing weekend at the 17th Annual World Pugilist Hall of Fame hosted by USA Savate! The energy was incredible as martial artists from all corners of the world gathered to celebrate and learn from one another. It was more than just an event; it was a powerful exchange of techniques and traditions across disciplines. We got to experience a little of everything—dynamic strikes and footwork from Savate, the fluid movements of Capoeira, the precision of Kenpo, and the intricate techniques of Silat. It’s inspiring to see so many different styles come together, creating a vibrant, unified community of martial artists. Can't wait for next year! 🥋🌎
