Opinion

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Nassau County (Gabriel Kohn, J.).


Plaintiff, by her voluntary participation as a student in martial arts classes conducted by defendants, consented to the activity resulting in her injury, the risk of which was a foreseeable consequence of her participation ( see, Turcotte v Fell, 68 N.Y.2d 432, 439; Morales v New York City Hous. Auth., 187 A.D.2d 295). Moreover, there was no evidence that defendants breached a duty of care owed to plaintiff.
