Opinion
July 29, 1996
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Underwood, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
The proof submitted on the motion for summary judgment demonstrated that the plaintiff Robert Beck voluntarily assumed the risk of the martial arts activity in which he was participating (see, e.g., Turcotte v. Fell, 68 N.Y.2d 432; Chimerine v. World Champion John Chung Tae Kwon Do Inst., 225 A.D.2d 323; Rubenstein v. Woodstock Riding Club, 208 A.D.2d 1160; Cardoza v. Village of Freeport, 205 A.D.2d 571). Therefore, based on the circumstances of this case, summary judgment was properly granted. Rosenblatt, J.P., Santucci, Joy and Hart, JJ., concur.
