    CMA banned in New York...

    Recent changes in New York State law have made ALL Chinese martial arts competitions which include any form of application event (point sparring, continuous sparring, Shuai Chiao, Chi Sau, push hands. Kuoshu Lei Tai and San Shou) ILLEGAL!

    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". The list does not include any Chinese martial arts organizations.

    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. Thus, Chinese martial art competitions are now illegal in New York State!

    Voice your opposition to this ridiculous list and the fact the commission will not add a Chinese martial art organization to the list. You can do any or ALL of the following. Call and write the commission, including sending emails.

    New York State Athletic Commission

    20th floor
    NY NY 10038
    (212) 417-5700

    Email: Hudo Spindola, General Counsel for the New York State Athletic Commission

    Please be professional and factual when contacting NYSAC, present the fact that San Shou is a recognized sport by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and that our sport has held 6 world championships with over 60 nations sending teams. Thank you!
    Old news, but I'm curious, was this situation was ever straightened out?

    So is that why all your events are in Jersey?

    Or San Kwan Da maybe?
    Hmm...
    Im really fuggin hungry.



    Theres gotta be some violation of civil rights with that law... What is the basis of it? What grounds did they have (or not have) to pass that law? Seems that to reasonably pass such a law, they would have to ban any and all martial arts and or boxing events...
    And what about schooling? Is it still ok to teach and fight full contact in your own venue, as long as its not promoted as a "New york athletic commission sanctioned event"?
    What crap.

    Actually, the way I read it, you're OK as long as you as you classify yourself as boxing, sparring, or wrestling, and not "martial arts."

    Just as well. It's too expensive to host an event in NY anyway. Keeping it out of NY and LA also cuts down on the "I-created-my-own-style" no-necks. It's win-win.
