Medical Clearance Notice: Before beginning any martial arts training or exercise program, you should consult a physician. Martial arts training involves physical exertion and carries the risk of injury, including but not limited to sprains, strains, cramps, and other musculoskeletal injuries. Although serious injuries are rare, the possibility of more severe outcomes—such as fractures, torn ligaments, or even, in extremely rare cases, permanent disability or death—does exist. If at any point during training you feel faint, dizzy, or experience pain, you must stop immediately and seek medical attention. Acknowledgment of Risk and Assumption of Responsibility: In consideration of being permitted to participate in martial arts instruction, training, or related events and activities, I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge and agree as follows: I recognize that martial arts is a physical contact activity and carries inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to permanent disability, death, and financial loss. I understand that these risks may result not only from my own actions but also from the actions, inactions, or negligence of others, the rules of participation, the conditions of the training environment, or the use of equipment. I acknowledge that there may be additional risks not currently known or reasonably foreseeable. I agree to inspect the facilities, equipment, and partner pairings prior to participating. I will promptly inform an instructor if I observe anything unsafe or feel unable to participate safely and will refrain from participation under such conditions. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with participation and accept full responsibility for any injury, loss, or damage that may occur, including permanent disability or death. I certify that I (or my child) am in good physical and mental condition and have no illness, injury, or condition that would impair participation in intensive martial arts training or competition. In the event of injury, I authorize Ko Martial Arts staff or designated medical personnel to administer emergency medical treatment as deemed necessary. I hereby release, waive, discharge, and agree not to sue Ko Martial Arts LLC, its affiliated organizations, officers, instructors, employees, volunteers, members, participants, agents, landlords, or facility owners for any and all liability, claims, demands, damages, or losses arising out of or related to any injury (including death) or property damage, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, sustained as a result of participation. Media Release Policy: I grant permission to Ko Martial Arts LLC, and any of its designated representatives, to photograph, film, or record me or my child while on the premises. I authorize the use of such media in promotional, advertising, and commercial materials across all media formats, including but not limited to print, video, and digital platforms such as the internet. I have carefully read and fully understand the above warning, waiver, release of liability, and agreement to participate. I acknowledge the risks involved and accept full responsibility for my participation (or my child’s participation). I sign this document voluntarily and of my own free will.
