Do you know about Jesseca's Law ?

To think a M/A teacher would do this ? Who did they learn M/A from ?

This brings up another issue that has always that has always bothered me.

Standization of all M/A.

A goverment or state program to regulate , certify, and control it.

I`m not sure about now, but when the Brits still controlled Hong Kong you supposedly had to be a member of your style`s "Athletic Association", which was registered with the Govt. in order to operate a martial arts school as a business.
This let your style decide who was fit to teach, but still gave some record keeping ability ty the Govt.

As bad as MA pollitics are now, imagine how much worse it would be with a government body deciding whether or not you were qualified to teach. Or regulating what you could teach. Who would decide? A beureucrat? Some MA from a different style who was appointed by the state? We have enough arguments now about who is qualified for what. As tempting as it is, Govt. involvment of any kind sounds like a bad idea to me.

But maybe crimminal background checks for senior staff wouldn`t be a bad idea to get a business liscence.
