Tapuout247,
Ahh, IF only that info was true, man. We could all sleep better at night.
There is no news flash to be had on this topic, bro. The only news flash here is that the Boxing Commission acts willy-nilly on this stuff.
And in case you hadn't noticed or had forgotten they DID ban the "TAP FACTOR" Grappling series. A well established, pure grappling event that was NEVER even mentioned until the day BEFORE our event was killed off as they held court WITHOUT me even knowing or being there.
They intentionally labeled grappling in all of it's forms as "MMA". Don't beleive me? I would be more than happy to forward the Boxing Commission's case evidence to you. All 96 pages of it! It's evidence they presented to the Superior court Judge "proving" how evil grappling was. And how grappling and MMA are the same thing. It's really very nice where they call our sport "Human Cock fighting", "death matches", and directly say that grappling will cause death and dismemberment. There's some crap in there that is really insulting to our sport, man!
Apparently, he learned martial arts from some of the same people that started this mislabeling witchhunt.
Their excuse is that I was doing MMA. Don't buy thier line for a second. Anyone who is on this forum should be able to tell the difference. I can. I'm sure that you can too. Regardless of what gym one's political ties are with, in all honesty you gotta realize that much.
And since I never "mixed" my stuff together,.....there should not have EVER been a problem. We broke no laws.
Having two or more styles on the same day in the same place isn't illegal either. Nor is it legally considered to be mixing(MMA). The elements we offered that day were keep apart and were not in illegal as they are. Ex:Judo, No-Gi, Kung-Fu, BJJ, etc.
One big point that I do not think most people have come to terms with is the "Ultimate Warrior" law. This is NOT simply another name for MMA that they pulled out of thier butts. According to them this is a seperate thing from MMA. So the problem isn't proving that the Battle Cry event wasn't MMA. That's easy for me to prove!
The "Catch 22" is that ANY sport or activity can be labeled by them as being "Ultimate Warrior". It's THAT vague. Curl up with a copy of the law tonight and give it a good, loooong read. Keep in mind that when reading it you shouldn't read it with any common sense, but read it as if you were a sneaky politician actively looking for a loophole or a vague spot. Something that can be used to extend your sphere of control.
Keep in mind that playing dumb works wonders on people that are afraid of you. So the phrase "Full Contact" when read by them could be taken out of context to mean="contact that touches %100 of the body, ex: head, foot, chest, back, arm, leg, hand, hip."
It sounds silly I know, but these are their tactics. Getting the picture? By reading it THIS twisted way Grappling could be labeled as a "FULL CONTACT" martial art. That would put our sport in a very bad light for someone searching for a reason to attack our sport.
I WISH that any of you who still doubt what I say AND those that do not think this is a major problem could be involved in this FIRST HAND.
Tapuout247, Might I ask who you got this info from?
Keeping in mind that asking the Boxing Commissioner for it is rather pointless, since he will tell you what you want to hear in order to keep you from taking action while you can. He's helping you to convice yourself that this problem will "Go Away" once they snuff me out. It's called "Divide and Conquer".
Make no mistake my fellow fighters.
Our rights were violated.
And they will continue to creep into new territory until we ALL pull our heads out of the sand.
Any questions? Comments? Complaints?
Want details? Want PROOF? Want to be there?
