Remember the story about the black-belt karate guy who had to register his hands with the police as a deadly weapon? That never really happened. But if the karate expert were to assault and injure someone, his black belt would be admissible in evidence to prove he knew that his hands were especially likely to inflict serious injury in an assault. He might be charged with assault with intent to inflict serious bodily injury.

I agree with Mr. Stone. I add further that a black belt is not a license to go around beating people up.
