Anyway, I hope that everything works out for him and I would be very careful with any tapes that I made, especially after this recent stuff with Din........

Let us all support MMA and keep what Bruce Lee started years ago alive and well. It truly is the most realistic martial arts training that you can get and I really hate to see how some are trying to take MMA back to 1990.

if you are talking about me saying im going to make a tape then i hear you and understand what you mean, but its not a thing where me and a bunch of buddys are gonna beat each other up, get it on tape, and show people how "cool" we are. i am trying to put together a ligit MMA show to try and prove to the powers that be that MMA is not as bad as they thought. i really dont want to do a Kimbo backyard thing and i will make every effort to make sure it doesnt come off that way. along with very strict rules im hoping to have an onsite medical staff and at least one pro cut man. the point is if a nobody like me can put together an MMA show with no problems and have it look pro then maybe the government will be more willing to allow real pro MMA to hold events here.</description>

		<description>[quote comment="10892"]@Jack,

Thanks for your comments.  I'm not in anyway attacking Din, and in my previous comments you can see that I don't think he will/should get into any trouble for this at all.[/quote]


Yeah, I see that.  I think that they were trying to make an example out of him and in reality, they (the PSL Police) were just pissed off that they could not find a way to shut him down the night that they were out there.

There were lots of better ways that they could have handled it and I think that any good defense attorney will have a field day with the fact that the PSL PD watched the fights and chose not to exercise their powers or even warn Din that they felt he could be doing something wrong...

And a warrant is NOT necessary for them to have done something at the time, they were already in and around the gym and therefore needed NO warrant to enter and search.

Very disappointed in several of the PSL officers involved, in most of my interactions with the PSL PD they have behaved in a very professional manner. I even know one of them (he is not involved in this, thank God) and the Fort Pierce Police Department has quite a few Officers that either train at ATTPSL and or have children that go there.

I don't think for a minute that they would jeopardize their careers by knowingly allowing ANY illegal activity to go on there. I am not sure if any Port St Lucie Police train at Din's school or not. If they do, I have never met them.
