“I have always loved Grappling since I was a child, it was my favorite game, after all even the
puppies begin to learn how to fight through their playing. I also loved boxing and the Karate
Kyokushinkai kicks, but I could not find a formula that could combine them”. So Paolo Biotti be-
gan his research, that led him to try the Full Contact, also training with Ennio Falsoni, but looking
for something more that lacked the opportunity to hit on the legs with low kicks. Savate, was the
answer, the first time he watched a match of Savate in Paris, where his great-grandfather Amedeo
and grandfather Aldo Natoli resided. They practiced fencing, as it was very fashionable among
many french noble and literary families, like AlexandreDumas the father, Lord Byron or Gioacchino
Rossini, training in French Boxe Savate and Paolo Biotti seeks it in Milan. During that time Paolo
Biotti finds out the 3FG, a group of young guys who created a network of fighting gyms with Carlo
Di Blasi. Biotti is the smallest kid but immediately begins to fight in the gym in harsh sparring full
contact way, his skillful technique and determination allow him to face competitive with adults pro
athletes, but yet he hardly ever gets his victory yet.
When he was 16 years old, he started to fight as a professional, in the Savate Pro division, then he
went alone to Thailand where he started to live in the thai camps in the middle of the jungle, and
to fight in the pubs for little money to support himself, he lived by the sea in few Southeast Asian
villages, therefore he study the history and the philosophy of the Asian countries which Biotti will
later do University research for one of his thesis in the faculty of political science, during his lawyer
study, beacause till then, there had never been such a complete texts in Italian.
