Canadian Martial Artists Beware!

Dear Canadian Martial Artists:
I am forwarding this following information for all Canadian's to be aware of and for them to immediately take action on. Be very concerned.
Section 83 of the Criminal Code is going to be rewritten in the House of Commons in August 2005. Be very aware as to how this is going to impact EVERYONE in the Martial Arts.
Consider taking immediate action by signing petitions that apply to your Martial Arts or ALL Martial Arts and get them to your Federal MP's before August 1st, 2005.
I hate to sound cliche, but if you snooze you will lose.
I have posted a link to the Federal Petition on my website.
link to petition document

I am doing this as I am just running off for a week's holiday's and I can not contact anyone at CAKMA for their website address to this petition.
Thank you, Mike Miles


Dear Canadian Martial Artists and Citizens:
The Federal Government has taken the view that all martial arts are illegal in Canada!
Section 83 of the Criminal Code of Canada will be re-written in August 2005 in the House of Commons and the amended law will state that "all martial arts are illegal in Canada".
This means all Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Full Contact, Mixed Martial Arts, Grappling tournaments, Karate tournaments, Continuous Fighting events... everything to do with Martial Arts Competition will be illegal in Canada.
We must all act immediately and make sure that there is resistance from the Martial Arts Community across Canada BEFORE they try and rewrite Section 83 of the Criminal Code. Action must be taken BEFORE they sit and rewrite it. Changing laws after they have been written is very difficult as those in Ontario will attest to.
In regards to Muay Thai and Kickboxing, CAKMA will continue to circulate this Petition until August and encourages all clubs, competitors, coaches, promoters, etc. to pass this petition along to any and all clubs and gyms as it affects all martial arts in Canada. The Petition can easily be customized to other disciplines by inserting the words "Judo, Karate, Ju-Jitsu, etc.. ". People can forward their signed Petitions directly to their MP's. For a list of MP's that apply to you in Canada please go to the following webpage:

Sincerely,
The Calgary Amateur Kickboxing & MuayThai Association Executive
