Sanshou become illegal in New York?

[Ali]

 

Is that true that US government pass

 

an Act to ban Sanshou?

 

And many Kungfu competitions become

 

illegal in New York.

 

I am a newcomer from Hong Kong.

 

Hello, everybody.

[SBN Doug]

Personally, I haven't heard that. Then again, I'm not possitive what Sanshou is.

[niel0092]

seems unlikely. any residents there hear anything?

[ramymensa]

banning a certain style would be a decision that must be taken with great care. I sincerelly doubt, because USA it's the land of freedom, isn;t it?

 

I don't know anything about sanshou, but I guess it's not more dangerous than other styles ... well who knows ... Anybody ... have you got informations about the problem here?

See from other website???

tidbit.

 

"Hey guys I read you everdady and my state of New York is the

 

dumbestever as the Chinese MMA art of San Shou is now illegal in NY state.Please read the bottom and have all readers complain to the New York State Athlethic Commission."

 

"The following is being sent to all Chinese Martial arts organizations

 

since recent changes in New Yorks State law have made ALL Chinese

 

martial art competitions which include point sparring, continuous sparring.

 

Shuai Chiao, Chi Sau, push hands and San Shou ILLEGAL. The amendment to the current sports law (Section 5A) states that the only

 

legal "martial arts" competition will be ones sanctioned by organizations

So, it's just the competition being banned and not the art?

Ahhh, now I see. The state of N.Y., as do all states, regulate what types of "sporting events" can have touneyments. If this art is not registered with the state, or on the "approved" list, then they are not permitted to conduct tourneyment competitions.

 

This does not make the art illegal to teach or learn.

COmpetitions will be legal if they go through one of the governing bodies mentioned. It was a hasty law and ill thought out. They are planning on revising it but you know government could take ages.
