In the past, I have expressed my views about firearms and knife legislation. As I wrote those postings, I wondered if martial arts training itself might face governmental restrictions in the future. Of course, I never really discussed that topic for fear of being labeled a crank. Well, that apprehension seems somewhat justified. I just read about some proposed New Jersey legislation that would restrict martial arts training in that state. This seems like a very dangerous trend to me. Those interested in this topic might wish to visit www.bladeforums.com for a discussion of this subject in their practical tactical subforum.
As I have stated on THR previously, unarmed fighting techniques are as much a part of realistic self-defense training as firearms, impact weapons and knives. Restricting martial arts training seems like an unwarranted assault on legitimate self-defense training. Perhaps we should pay more attention to those who talk about "the nanny state."
