Studio Guidelines

For a safe, focused, and respectful training environment, all students and guests agree to:

  • Follow instructor directions and all posted safety rules.
  • Use mats, training gear, and equipment only as instructed and with permission.
  • Wear appropriate training attire, remove jewelry when requested, and maintain good personal hygiene.
  • Report injuries, illness, medical restrictions, or unsafe conditions before training and stop immediately if pain, dizziness, or unusual symptoms occur.
  • Do not participate while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or medication that makes training unsafe, or while experiencing a contagious illness.
  • Show respect to instructors, staff, students, guests, and the facility; harassment, bullying, abusive conduct, and reckless behavior are not permitted.
  • Practice sparring, partner drills, and techniques only under instructor supervision and with appropriate control.
  • Keep personal belongings secure and help keep training areas clean and free of hazards.
  • Ensure minors and accompanying guests are appropriately supervised.

Assumption of Risk, Injury Waiver & Liability Release

I understand that martial arts, fitness, strength and conditioning, stretching, partner drills, sparring, demonstrations, and the use of training equipment are physically demanding activities with inherent and other risks. These risks include, without limitation, falls, collisions, contact with people or equipment, overexertion, strains, sprains, fractures, head or spinal injury, illness, disability, and death. Injuries may occur even when reasonable safety precautions are used.

I voluntarily choose to participate (or permit the minor student identified above to participate), accept full responsibility for evaluating readiness to train, and knowingly assume all risks of participation, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, I release, waive, and hold harmless Golden Fist Gear, LLC, Golden Fist Training Method, Golden Fist Martial Arts & Fitness, and each of their owners, instructors, employees, contractors, volunteers, agents, affiliates, landlords, and venue providers (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from claims, demands, damages, losses, or causes of action arising from participation, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of a Released Party. This release does not apply to gross negligence, reckless conduct, intentional misconduct, or any liability that cannot legally be waived.

I confirm that the student is physically able to participate, that all relevant conditions and restrictions have been disclosed, and that the student will follow instructions, use appropriate care, and stop training and notify an instructor if pain, dizziness, illness, or unsafe conditions arise.

If an emergency occurs and I cannot be reached, I authorize the studio to contact emergency services and, for a minor student, to seek reasonably necessary emergency medical care. I understand that the Released Parties do not guarantee or assume a duty to provide medical care and that I am responsible for resulting medical or transportation costs.

This agreement binds me, the student, and our heirs, representatives, and assigns. It is intended to be as broad as applicable law permits. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

By completing the acknowledgment and signature fields below, I confirm that I have read this agreement carefully, understand that I am giving up substantial legal rights, have had the opportunity to ask questions, and agree voluntarily.
