Patrick Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 There is a bill that is moving along in the Tennessee government, that would "legalize and regulate mixed martial arts" in the state.

pittbullJudoka Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Thanks Patrick I started trying to raise surrport fort this bill a couple of years ago. I think that would be great right now I have to travel to Kentucky just to watch an ammy show. This is a great step for the sport of mixed martial arts in the state.

Patrick Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 This bill has passed the Senate. Now, the Senate and House have to go over any differences before it gets sent up to the governor.http://www.wztv.com/template/inews_wire/wires.regional.tn/21d89eb1-www.fox17.com.shtml Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

bushido_man96 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Cool. More avenues for MMA will help with its popularity, to be sure. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
pittbullJudoka Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Thanks for keeping us unformed on this one Patrick.
ShoriKid Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Here's to hoping this one passes. Once it does, it would be good to see some amature action starting up in the area.
