The Super-Important Small Print

The contents of this website are for informational and entertainment purposes only. Do not mistake any of this entertaining information for advice.

Martial arts training is a physical contact activity in which there is significant risk to the participants. Practice is frequently very physically strenuous and mentally and emotionally challenging. Participation can result in injuries or damages of any sort, including permanent disability, deformity, or death. Sometimes the risks are not even foreseeable by trained experts.

It would be wise of you to obtain the help of a qualified instructor and have a physician examine you and clear you for strenuous physical contact before you try any of these very dangerous activities - even though physicians and instructors cannot make the activity completely safe for anyone.

You should always inspect the practice area, the equipment, your partners, and yourself for risks before starting, but even that will not save you 100% of the time.

Your participation is voluntary, so if you see something that you think is unsafe you should immediately tell the instructor and decline to participate in that activity. Always work within your own limits.
