From a legal point of view, even if I was to state that one of them is the offspring of a goat, that wouldn't give them the right to act. That's not the point. And citizens have a right to protest unfiar and possibly illegal actions by our government. At this point, myself and others are exploring a whole variety of actions.

They are acting on the law, a law which Albany expanded because of two upstate promoters who were trying to be wise guys and were doing illegal events. Sad but we are suffering because some idiots couldn't play by the rules.

However, they are also acting based upon HALF of the law, as the law clearly states they have authority to add or delete groups to the "list". Their failure to meet this obligation potentially opens them up for an article 78 action. That's just a small part of the behind the scenes story now.

As for the WKA, I resent being forced to work with a body I feel is not up to meeting the task. Hugo Spindola, legal counsel for the commission says they want to use these laws for the safety and well being of the athletes and the community, giving a monopoly to a single organization is NOT meeting this end, especially when the organization being given the monopoly doesn't live up to its responsibilities

Perhaps you can make the WKA live up to this and conduct fair events. But you'll forgive me for having server reservations and doubting they will.

I can't see how an organizatin which bans spin back fists, kick catching and clinching is ever going to be of any use to the San Shou community. A community which has just gotten IOC recognition and is a possible contender for Olympic status.

The commission has made a potential Olympic sport illegal, isn't that sad?
