ASSUMPTION OF RISK:

The nature of physical contact in martial arts training includes the simulation of assaults and attacks. All participants have the right and responsibility to immediately withdraw from any exercise or drill in which the conduct of any party seems beyond the scope of training or makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe in any way.  As in most contact sports, bumps, bruises, scrapes, scratches and soreness are commonplace. More serious injuries are also possible including serious injury or death. All participants have the right and responsibility to excuse themselves from any exercise they believe could be harmful in any way to themselves or anyone else. All participants must evaluate each situation in the context of their skill and current physical condition, and conduct each drill in a manner that is safe for them and for their teammates.

I assume responsibility for my own safety and/or the safety of my child(ren). I understand and accept the risks involved in martial arts training. I completely absolve all instructors, staff, guests, students, landlords, management companies and any and all other parties of liability for any harm. I also give permission for pictures and/or video taken of me and my family members to be used for promotional and/or other purposes without compensation of any kind.

I have read this document. I understand and agree to abide by the terms of this agreement and the Soma Jiu-Jitsu Academy Code of Conduct.
