Government regulation of martial arts
On the other hand, would I support some sort of government intervention/registration in relation to martial arts? No way!
Who would decide who is a "legitimate" martial artist and who is not? You and I might have an idea (and have substantially the same opinion), but would you trust some government appointed committee? The very bloke who comes to your door to “sell” you martial arts after 12 months training might be chairman! He might say that you and I are the charlatans...

These points you bring up Dan-dono are truly terrifying indeed.
I imagine a disciple of a Mr. J or Mr. S would be able to wrangle a position of such power and prestige.
What a landscape to imagine...0_0
But, having said that surely government committees are made up of the leaders in their field? To suggest otherwise... Surely you jest.
The idea of art, as in creative individual expression without limit, is a foreign concept. The larger the group, the smaller the creative freedom to do what you want to do, because there will always be more and more people telling you that you can't do it because, Xhe, or Zhe, or Yshe would be "inconvenienced".
