Tong Zuo Fa

There are going to be some rules, I don't think it will be intense enough to need CPR, but I do know it, as well as quite a bit of first aid, I'm not even sure yet how I'm going to distinguish a winner, whether I'll count points like a regular tournament or think of something different. Thinking over it, I probably will use foot and hand pads, at least one or the other. I thought about that, and I do have a good-sized yard for it, but I'm on a corner and wouldn't get much privacy, but it would be better if I were on my own property. It all depends on what rules I set up, the more feedback I'm getting, the more I'm reverting to a safer setup. Even though some headgear covers the face, you're right, most types don't, but I may just instate no strikes to the face (of course, accidents can happen). I may have been getting in over my head with my original ideas, but I think if I think it over a few times and keep it safe, things should be okay.

Hello! My name is Travis. I am 15 and am very interested in martial arts. I am now studying Tae Kwon Do but would rather learn Ninjutsu, Shaolin, Xing Yi, or Hapkido (I've studied a little on my own, and my school incorporates some Hapkido techniques, but not a full course), and maybe an animal style like Dragon or Monkey. I have also learned a little Bojutsu, but in the matter of weapons, I want to learn Wushu Broadsword or Mugai Ryu. I am also in the process of creating my own style, my namesake, 痛作法, Tong Zuo Fa. This seems like a great site I hope I learn a lot from it.

I'm unsure about a few things . I want to have a small martial arts tournament , maybe 8 or so people, just for fun. The thing is, I'm not an instructor, and the only place I can do it is outdoors (which I would prefer anyway), and I would like it to be full-contact (only headgear, for safety). I looked in my city code, and the only law about it I could find was Rioting, stating something like: any group of 4 or more people participating in an unruly act, whether it may seem otherwise legal or not, is guilty of rioting... Anyway, I don't think it would be considered assault, but if any passer-by saw us, they might interpret it that way and call the cops. The main things are, it would be organised by minors, unofficial, and full-contact, so I'm afraid we could get in some trouble. Does anyone know if this would be breaking any laws or not? I'm in Ohio, if it helps.
