Karate is physically challenging and carries with it risks that we cannot entirely eliminate. These include the risk of personal injury, such as black eyes, bruising or, in rare situations, broken bones.

Rules

• You must act responsibly and sensibly at all times.
• You must not participate if you are pregnant or under the influence of alcohol or non-prescription drugs.
• You must follow any safety warnings or instructions displayed or given to you by an instructor, a member of the venue staff or a medical practitioner.
• We are not qualified to express an opinion that you are fit to safely participate. You must obtain professional or specialist advice from your doctor before participating.
• You are responsible for using any equipment safely and as directed. You must behave sensibly and follow any safety instructions so as not to hurt or injure yourself or others.

Other Rules
In the absence of any negligence or other breach of duty by us, participation in a Shotokan Connect class, course, grading or competition and use of any equipment is entirely at your risk.
