I understand that there is significant risk of physical injury, death and other damages inherent in martial arts, and physical fitness training activities and in my use of BMAA facilities and instruction relating to these activities. These risks and hazards can include, but are not limited to, injuries arising from falling and striking objects or other people; being struck by falling objects or people; failure of any part or all of martial arts instructors, flooring systems, building or training and fitness apparatus; defective worn, uneven separated or additional flooring or pads; hazards created by pads; injuries related to fitness training classes including jiu jitsu, hawaiian kempo karate, muay thai kickboxing, and filipino martial arts; risk associated with walking on streets and sidewalks to access BMAA facilities; strained or sprained muscles, joints and connective tissue; broken bones; personal injury including paralysis, death, illness, property damage, and other losses. I further understand some BMAA facilities may be operational 24 hours a day, and that some of those operating times may be without staff supervision or observation of BMAA facilities and that I may encounter additional risks during that time. Injury or death can arise from errors in judgment, form lack of training or information, from the negligence of me, employees or agents of BMAA or other parties, as well as the risks normally associated with athletic endeavors.
