Basin Kings Grappling Guest & Trial Class Waiver
Participant Name: {name} Date of Birth: {dob}
Welcome to the Mats!
We are excited to have you try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Because BJJ is a physical contact sport, we need to ensure you understand the nature of the training before you step on the mats.
1. Understanding the Activity
I understand that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu involves close physical contact, grappling, and submission holds. I recognize that in any contact sport, there is an inherent risk of injury.
-
Common Risks: I accept that minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, muscle soreness, and joint strain are a possibility.
-
Serious Risks: While safety is the priority, I acknowledge that more serious injuries (sprains, fractures, or concussions) can occur.
2. My Responsibility
I agree to listen to the instructor at all times. I understand the "Tap" rule: If I feel pain or discomfort, or if I am in a submission hold, I will tap my partner or the mat, and the activity will stop immediately. I am not currently suffering from any injury or illness that would make it unsafe for me or others to train today.
3. Waiver and Release
Knowing the risks described above, I voluntarily choose to participate. I hereby release and hold harmless Basin Kings Grappling, its owners, and instructors from any claims or liability regarding injuries or accidents that may occur during my trial class, whether caused by ordinary negligence or otherwise.
Signature & Acknowledgement
By signing below, I certify that:
-
I am the participant, OR
-
I am the parent/legal guardian of the participant who is under 18 years of age.
If signing as a parent/guardian, I give permission for the minor named above to participate and agree to bind myself and the minor to all terms of this waiver.
