Savate was later codified under a Committee National de Boxe Française under [[Charles Charlemont]]'s student [[Pierre Baruzy|Count Pierre Baruzy]] (dit [[Barozzi]]). The Count is seen as the father of modern savate and was 11-time Champion of France and its colonies, his first ring combat and title prior to the [[First World War]]. ''Savate de Défense'', ''Défense Savate'' or ''Savate de Rue'' ("street savate") is the name given to those methods of fighting excluded from savate competition. The International Savate Federation (FIS) is the official worldwide ruling body of savate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X9kDAAAAMBAJ&dq=savate+revival&pg=PA98|title = Black Belt|date = September 1997}}</ref>

Perhaps the ultimate recognition of the respectability of savate came in 1924 when it was included as a [[demonstration sport]] in the [[1924 Summer Olympics|Olympic Games in Paris]]. In 2008, savate was recognised by the [[International University Sports Federation]] (FISU) – this recognition allows savate to hold official University World Championships; the first was held in [[Nantes]], France in 2010. The 25th anniversary of the founding of the International Savate Federation, in March 2010, was celebrated with a visit to [[Lausanne]], to meet with [[International Olympic Committee]] President [[Jacques Rogge]]. FISav President Gilles Le Duigou was presented with a memento depicting the [[Olympic Rings]]. In April 2010, the International Savate Federation was accepted as a member of SportAccord (previously known as AGFIS) – a big step forward on the road to Olympic recognition.
