How to not kill someone by accident in Boxing

This is something that was just posted today on another website. The paper itself dates back to 1997

The Medical Realities of Breath Control Play

Bear in mind in the BDSM world, they can get more extreme in breath control than just choke holds used in wrestling. BJJ and judo teach and use chokes routinely with no significant history of things going bad. In fact there is a youtube video a couple of the Gracies put out of the subject.

Just be aware it can go wrong and as they say "Be careful out there".

Apparently our governor signed a bill in the last day or two that will make it easier for indy wrestling shows to be staged in Washington. Still looking for an explanation of what they did but one report I heard this AM sounds like it allows pro wrestling schools to stage smaller events eg you just can't waltz into the state as a promoter and put on an event - you have to partner with someone in state. Ideally it will mean we get shows going into the smaller real venues with trained performers rather than some bar in Seattle.

Along that thought, I found it interesting that WCWC had Caleb Conley on their last show in Portland. Caleb had/has a contract to work for Impact/TNA Wrestling and I think he works primarily works down in the SE. Definitely interesting to see how he works his matches.

Just fo the heck of it, I looked to see what WWE was charging for an event. Spotted this option.

The WWE Superstar VIP Experience Packages are $549 & include:
Premium Ringside Seat (1st 2 rows)
Meet & Greet and Autograph Opportunity with WWE Superstars*
Exclusive Limited Edition 2017 WWE Souvenir Event Chair
Three New Exclusive VIP Merchandise Items
Limited Edition 2017 Autograph Book
Matted Superstar Collage
Venue Parking (where applicable - one parking pass per order, not per ticket)
On-site Greeter

Of course you could just by the P1 seat for $110 each. Or P2 for $65.

Reminds me why I drove to Portland and watched 4 hours for WCWC TV taping for $10. And sat three rows back from the ring.

Basically the indy shows are working in a gray area of the current regulations from Washington State Athletic Commision. Really something that should be fixed.
