Several other martial arts forums have semi-regular meetings where they train, fight, spar, exchange ideas. Some of these meetings are rather informal and some are properly organised and insured events. If you really want to get with other martial artists and train, spar or fight in a safe environment then your best bet is to find these groups.

don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.

ok so long as money isnt involve - and everyone consents... and it is done of private property and causes no disturbance to anyone else - there is actually no crime....

Either way, They're no such a great idea as you can come off with loads of serious injuries.

I don't think mere consent would be enough. if you're putting people in someone where they can die, they would likely need to sign a waiver - a lawyer would have to draw one up.

yeah probably if death is a risk good point :D not even sure an indemnity waiver would cover you in that situation.... probably need insuracne against the public liablility.

Waivers aren't really even that good. The waiver you sign when you enter a tournament? Doesn't prevent you from sueing, and once it gets into a court, especially with a high dollar amount, it's whatever the judge or jury decides.

The waiver may actually be sufficient... after you spend a ton of money on legal fees and a lot of time in court proving to the judge/jury the validity of the waiver and that the guy signed it freely AND that he understood what he was signing. Good luck proving all that!

The other guy and his attorney will say that the waiver didn't cover the precise situation that caused the injury, he didn't sign it freely, and he didn't understand what he was signing.

None of this is either assumed or automatic.

True,

And I think that it would still be a situation where disturbing the peace and other legal issues could arize. I would seek out a few sanctioned full contact tournaments.
