PLEASE READ AND COMPLETE FORM

WAIVER

Because martial arts can be strenuous and subject to risk of serious injury, I urge you to obtain a physical examination from a doctor before using any training equipment or participating in any exercise or martial arts training. You agree that by participating in physical exercise and/or martial arts training, you do so entirely at your own risk. Any recommendation for changes in diet including the use of food supplements, weight reduction, and/or body building enhancement products are entirely your responsibility and you should consult a physician prior to undergoing any dietary or food supplement changes. You agree that you are voluntarily participating in these activities and assume all risks of injury, illness, or death.
