1. Acknowledgment of Risks

I understand and acknowledge that participation in martial arts and related physical activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to:

I understand that these risks cannot be completely eliminated, even with proper instruction, supervision, and safety equipment.

2. Voluntary Participation

I voluntarily choose to participate in the Activities with full knowledge of the risks involved. I certify that I am physically capable of participating and have consulted a physician if I have any concerns regarding my health or fitness.

I agree to immediately inform an instructor if I become injured, ill, or believe I should discontinue participation.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from or related to my participation in the Activities, including claims resulting from the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties.

This release does not apply to conduct that cannot legally be waived under applicable law, including gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or intentional wrongdoing where prohibited by law.

5. Medical Authorization

If I become injured or require medical attention while participating in the Activities, I authorize the Released Parties to obtain emergency medical treatment on my behalf if I am unable to do so.

I understand that I am solely responsible for all medical expenses incurred as a result of my participation.

9. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from my own actions, omissions, or violations of gym rules while participating in the Activities.

10. Governing Law
