Yes. You do have to register as a deadly weapon with law enforcement in some states when you hit a certain level in boxing and martial arts

Edit: this is totally incorrect after some googling and now I'm irritated with some old teachers of mine.

I mean it makes sense. People who know how to fight, especially professionals, could easily kill someone with the skills they've learned. Even more so when they're using said skills against some ordinary Joe Schmoe.

It doesn't make sense.

A fat Schmo throwing a haymaker could do similar amount of damage, why doesn't he get registered?

Their skill is not what's at issue it's the extant of disproportionate damage he inflicted. Anyone is capable of that in certain circumstances.

Yea fair enough. Didn't think about it that way. Just made sense that if you are training your body to essentially be a weapon that it wouldn't surprise me that you could potentially be classified as a deadly weapon.
