The Economic Development Directorate is asking for your thoughts on their draft policy paper: “The Regulation of Combat Sports in the ACT”.
It looks like they’re looking to massively expand the scope of regulation, going from just boxing and kickboxing to:
- – professional boxing;
– amateur boxing;
– kyokushin (ring karate);
– kickboxing;
– muaythai;
– mixed martial arts;
– kung fu (wu shu);
– sanda;
– ju Jitsu and Brazilian ju jitsu;
– judo; and
– shooto
And the Minister under these proposals will have the power to regulate pretty much anything he wants to.
Submissions close 23 December 2011.
