What are your expectations in learning Krav Maga? Please share what specific skills or areas you are most interested in learning or improving:
I understand that if I need to leave class early, I will inform the instructor prior. It's important that we accommodate your timeline and adjust any teachings so that you experience a well-rounded foundational self-defense class.*
Instructor Ari and all Hercules Krav Maga and AriFit Wellness instructors are trauma-informed. I also understand that Krav Maga training is physical and involves realistic simulation scenarios, techniques, and stress drills. I acknowledge that I may experience fight, flight, or freeze responses during self-defense training. I ACCEPT THESE POTENTIAL RISKS AND TRUST MYSELF TO OPT OUT OF ANY TRAINING DRILLS THAT I MAY NOT FEEL READY FOR.*
Knee compression sleeves and non-slip shoes are mandatory for class. Please ensure that you have these items before attending to ensure safety and comfort during training.

Please answer the questions below.

Type 'yes' if you agree, or describe why you chose 'NO', if applicable.
I understand that Krav Maga self-defense training involves close contact with other participants, and I am aware that this may include physical interactions such as holds, strikes, and defensive techniques.
Please describe your level of comfort with UNMASKED training. This includes your comfort with the possibility of being in close proximity to others without wearing a mask during class sessions:
I confirm that I will attend the entire class session. If, for any reason, I am unable to stay for the full duration, I will notify my instructor in advance.
Please indicate if you are attending a specific solo workshop. If so, kindly list the name and date of your scheduled class/workshop:
Every class is $25 for drop-in attendance. [For those training at our Soledad location: A package of 10 classes is $197, OR ONE (1) YEAR of unlimited training is $997]*
I understand that bruises, cuts, and light-to-medium contact are a natural part of the realistic training process in class. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY TRAINING PARTNER IF THE DRILL OR TRAINING BECOMES TOO TOUGH. If my partner does not lower their intensity, I will inform my instructor.*

- I acknowledge the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and minimizing the risk of illness transmission during training. As such, I agree to the following:
  
  If I need to cough or sneeze during class or while on the premises, I will do so into my elbow or upper arm.
