Count Pierre Baruzy (Amiens, 19 May 1897 – Paris, 17 December 1994) was a manager and French boxing champion.

Biography

Of Italian origin, a descendant of a noble Venetian family, Pierre Barozzi (in French spelled Baruzy), entered the French boxing academy at the age of thirteen, where he was a pupil of Charles Charlemont and was named eleven times French champion of the weightlifting. He participated in the 1924 Summer Olympics, the first Olympics to include a demonstration of French boxing (Savate). In 1930 he became president of the Académie de Boxe Française and in 1937 the last French Championship was held (until its rebirth in 1966) during which he obtained the title of Champion in all categories, beating middle-weight boxer and heavy. Between 1922 and 1935 he obtained eleven championship titles. Pierre Baruzy joined the Resistance during the Second World War. He chaired the "JP workers commission"; Under the Occupation, Baruzy was appointed municipal councilor of Paris in December 1941 by the Minister of the Interior Pierre Pucheu, and became secretary of the municipal council in 1943. He was president of the Steering Committee of Timken (France) and Chancellor of the CIOS International Academy. As an industrialist he was president of the Compagnie des ASTD and member of the Board for Meules Norton. He was arrested in August 1944 but was awarded the Resistance Medal. He claims in 1972 to have been in contact with General Revers, head of the Army Resistance Organization (ORA) and to have been a member since 1942 of the Buckmaster network. Baruzy claims to have rescued 11 airmen from the Allied forces whose planes were shot down by the German army. His resistance activities earned him the Medal of Freedom from General Eisenhower in 1945, as well as a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Ronald Reagan in 1984, making him the only Frenchman to have received medals from two American presidents. He was active since 1945 in the National Committee of the French Organization (CNOF), which he chaired from 1952 to 1957, after having been its general secretary. He gave new impetus to the sport in the postwar period; in 1965 he became the founding president of the French National Boxing Committee which would be replaced in 1975 by the French Boxing Federation Savate (FFBFS e DA). Baruzy received numerous civil and military awards throughout his career. He is buried in the tomb of the Bouillon-Bey family.

Note

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pierre Baruzy

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pierre Baruzy claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pierre Baruzy before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pierre Baruzy ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pierre Baruzy

In research: Pierre Baruzy appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pierre Baruzy in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pierre Baruzy is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1897 births, 1994 deaths, 20th-century French sportsmen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pierre Baruzy outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
