Hi Mr. Police officer man. I was wondering if there are added any repercussions, if I were to kick the tar out of someone, related to my “fight training”.
I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and do Muay Thai Kickboxing. I’ve competed in kickboxing, and knocked out some opponents, so it could be argued that I should know that I could be dangerous. On the flip side, I’m not Jackie Chan, and am not invincible.
Is it true that my hands could be legally be equated to “weapons”, since I have fight training? Is true that my black belt may be registered with the government somewhere, and that the police would know about it, if I hurt someone.
I’ve always wondered about this. No, I don’t regularly get into fights, or pick fights. |

| As far as your competitions and class training, that should all be covered under a waiver of some kind. |

Actually, this is something that I would to know more about. I used to compete nationally in NASKA rated tournaments and have "fight training." I always hear that, "don't you have to have your hands registered cause your a lethal weapon?" line and I always just chuckle at them. Should I continue to laugh...

I have heard a few differnt arguements on this..
1. Because of your ( our) training it is possible to argue that a certain reaction was a response to your training .. Basically that there was no intent.. Now I expect that this would only be possible in some circumstances..
2. The flip side is that because of the extra training you may be expected to exibit more control ( "resonable force"). Because of your training you should be able to react in a more controled manner...
I have heard that in the U.S. some schools do the "Dangerous Weapon" thing to try to reduce thier liability in case a student goes nutts and is sued.. |

No matter what the case is, you are only allowed to use "reasonable force" in a "concented" fight.
If you nail some dude and he doesn't want to fight, then that just became assult and battery.
If you nail some dude and he does want to fight you, then it is just a fight.
If you are in a fight with some dude, and you pull out your (place ninja move here) and you seriously injur the dude, then you just used unreasonable force and are at fault. But if he too is a master of some kind and you two dual it out, then it won't be a problem.
So basically you are supposed to use "reasonable force". They want the shit to be a fair fight. They don't want a fight to happen, but if one does, it should be fair.
Kinda like when a Bouncer tosses you out of a night club. They are only allowed to use "reasonable force" to get you off the property. But if they beat the snot out of you, SUE THE PANTS OFF THE CLUB!!!
I might be completely out of line here, but I think I remember this shit correctly from Law class.
PEACE
P.S. If I am completely wrong, you can use "unreasonable" force on me later. |

also, there's the bylaw in which those caught by police fighting. both will be fined regardless if either are pressing charges...meaning even in a concented fight, you can be fined. i'm not too sure what the fine is though |
