Safety Waiver

1. 1. I acknowledge that martial arts are a potentially dangerous activity. The possibility of bumps, bruises, scrapes, soreness, sprains twists, related injuries or even paralysis and death are possible. I completely absolve Union Jiu Jitsu and any party acting on their behalf of responsibility for any injury myself or my child sustains during any activities during any Union Jiu Jitsu events or classes.
   2. I acknowledge that physical contact with my or my child’s body is both part of practicing and learning this martial art. The chest, buttocks, groin, or any part of the body may be contacted by any part of the training partner’s body during training of a specific technique or incidentally contacted while performing a martial arts technique targeting another portion of the body.
   3. I understand that Instructors may adjust or manipulate any part of my or my child’s body to assist in the proper application and understanding of a technique.
   4. I understand (and have communicated to my child) our right to withdraw from any exercise or drill for any reason and at any time.
   5. If the conduct of an instructor or training partner appears inappropriate, I (as a student or parent/guardian) should inform a Union Jiu Jitsu director privately. If the conduct of an instructor or any training partner appears criminal, then a director should be informed and the authorities may be notified either by myself, (as a student or parent/guardian) the director, or both.
   6. I understand that if my behaviour (or my childs) endangers the safety of other students or children during Union Jiu Jitsu activities or if their behaviour is excessively disruptive, I (they) may be suspended from participation. 
   7. In the case of parents: I agree to pick up my child within a reasonable timeframe, if my child is suspended. No refunds or vouchers will be given in such a case.
   8. I agree not to bring any claim or suit against Union Jiu Jitsu, instructors, staff, guests, students, landlord, or any other parties on behalf of myself or my child for any injury or harm sustained by any event short of a criminal act, and then only the criminal shall be the subject of such a claim. I further agree that I will not cause to be brought, nor encourage a claim or suit. I also agree not to cooperate in the bringing of such a suit or claim except insofar as I may be legally required to do so. Finally, I shall indemnify Union Jiu Jitsu, instructors, staff, guests, students, and any and all additional defendants covered by this agreement for all judgments, costs, attorney fees and other expenses incurred as a result of a breach of this agreement.
   9. If any clause, sentence, phrase or statement in this document is found unenforceable or invalid by any Court of law, the remainder of this document shall remain valid enforceable and the invalid clause, sentence, phrase or statement shall be considered struck from the document.
