Recent changes in New York State law have made ALL martial arts competitions which include any form of application event (point sparring, continuous sparring, kickboxing and San Shou) ILLEGAL! unless sanctioned by a small group called the "approved list"



The law is available online at:
http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?ul=11



The ammendment to the current law (Section 5A) states that the only legal "martial arts" competition will be ones sanctioned by organizations on the New York State Athletic Commission's (NYSAC) "approved list".



According to >Hudo Spindola, General Counsel for the New York State Athletic Commission, only these organizations can legally run events in NY State. Furthermore, the commission has not established any process by which other organizations can be added. If you are
not one of the above organizations, they will send police to shut your event down!



Voice your opposition to this ridiculous list and the fact the commission will not add any new martial art organization to the list. You can do any or ALL of the following.

Call and write the commission, including sending emails.
