Thanks to Clayton for pointing out this shocker: New York State to regulate martial arts (originally posted on Sword Forum).
These east coast martial arts licencing & regulation schemes are partially a way to eliminate non-sport, combat martial arts, like the Bujinkan arts, and partially a way for the "respectable" sport arts such as Tae Kwon Do and (modern) Karate to lock the rest of us out of "their" turf. This needs to be fought.
