Help Save MA in Canada!

Section 83 (which governs prize-fighting and by extension any martial-art involving two-person contact of any kind except boxing) is being re-written in such a way as to make it illegal for any sparring or contact of any kind, including rolling or anything even vaguely martial. I've posted the forwarded details up ON THIS PAGE (http://www.wingchunkuen.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=138&mode=&order=0&thold=0).

If you're Canadian, please lend your voice. If you're not, stuff like this has happened, and continues to happen in certain US states and elsewhere. Always keep your eyes and ears open.

Thanks for keeping us informed, Rene. It seems just a short time ago that we had a similar go-round right here in New York State. <sigh>

I've forwarded the information to the other mailing lists in which I routinely participate. I hope it will help in spreading the word. Let's pray that action on this no-doubt well intentioned yet misguided initiative is swift and sufficient.

Regards,

Thanks KJ!

Like most things, its a matter of education (and politics! :) )
