    "The credit of French Boxing is that it requires a long training period which raises the overall level of strength, helps develop a taste for effort and risk, and teaches how to cope. Little by little one learns how to transform natural violence into disciplined strength and discovers exercise through the use of natural weapons where invention prevails over sheer strength, where one can improvise a strategy of moves, feints or strikes. One learns self-control, loyalty and brotherhood."
