Do Black-Belts have to register themselves as weapons


Recommended Posts

I knew a Karateka who told me that he had registered his hands as deadly weapons. I told him he was lying. He got in my face and said, "You wanna bet.", and he threw a punch at my face, I blocked it and I went down low sweeping his legs and siat on top of him. Then I said, "See you were lying. There is no such thing."

Very nice. Gotta love the braggarts!

Oh, yeah, they always end up making fools of themselves sometime. You would think that because he was a Martial Artist, he would be humble about his abilities. But I guess he really didn't have anything to be humble about.

Yeah, you make a good point. I am pretty humble myself. It sucks going out to the bars, and seeing people from your school, and they start talking loudly about how "he is in my TKD schoo, he's a black belt," and on and on. I just think, "Oh, shut it, will ya!" After that, I try to make a retreat before someone decides to step up.

I had an incident at the jail here recently like this. I recognized one of the inmates as someone who worked out where I did at one time. Well, he started asking me about if I was still working out or not, and I got up close to try to keep him from getting to loud about it. Boy, what a stink that could cause!

no it is not true. we have many black belts that come out of our schools and they do not need to register with the police.

Right. It's a myth. As a black belt, however, you may need to explain yourself more if you are arrested after an altercation. For example, you would have to explain why you used a certain technique as opposed to another in your repertoire that may have caused less injury.

I don't think that this is right. Decisions in the midst of a fight should be happen so fast that it borders on instinct, because it is instinct mostly. I don't think that a col would worry about which technique you used to defend yourself with.

Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.

As an LEO, I would concern myself with the levels of force used, and then the justifications of those force levels. If a trained puncher hits someone and has better effect than a non-trained puncher, then no big deal. It doesn't change the need for a response; one guy's response was better.

The law for self defense is the same for every one, regardless of any training; sufficient force to prevent injury or death to your self or others. It's a simple as that. You don't need registration to opt out or in to any law, it sees no difference.

Look to the far mountain and see all.
