Might be good to have real rules for teacher & not just some Si Fut with lots of claims but no stuffs to back up claims & this just for those peoples who teach lots of peoples for money only as noone can tell what teaching happens the old way so who cares okay.

These are the same politicians who came up with a list of 12 organizations to be on the NYSAC "approved list" and didn't put a single Chinese martial art group on the list

You want them now to say who is "real" and can teach?

What if in order to have a school in NY you have to get rank from one of the 12 that are on that list? NO CHINESE MARTIAL ART

What about all the Chinese martial art people who don't have belts and rank. From China and can't point to an organization that NY would know about?

Don't you see that the great possibility is that the law can end up shutting down every school that does Chinese martial art in the STATE

Not to make fun of you as your very excited about this stuffs & read honest but how the hell any guys going to shut down a thing they don't know about & I doubt any politics guy ever going to come to the Lodge & say about what we do & who the hell you think going to walk into Hip Sing & say they can't teach part of Chinese culture okay. Many many more places teach with no sign that says a thing about whats behind the door & maybe Sifu just put a new sign up that says Chinese Culture Club & then their name after it so people know who club it is & then know whats behind the door & we can even put it in Chinese newspapers this way too so pi$s on politics & those they serve okay.
