2025 Shiai Release and Indemnity
I hereby acknowledge and agree that my participation in the 2025 Shiai event is for the purpose of practicing martial arts. I understand that the practice of martial arts involves physically strenuous and dynamic activities, which may include but are not limited to punching, kicking, striking, and grappling, both individually and with partners.
I am fully aware that such activities carry inherent risks, including the potential for serious bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, or even death. These risks may result from my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others, or the conditions of the facility in which the activity is conducted. I also recognize that there may be other risks or potential losses, whether social or economic, that are not presently known to me or readily foreseeable.
With this understanding, I willingly accept all such risks and assume full responsibility for any losses, costs, or damages that may arise from my participation in the activity. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to monitor my own activity level and to be aware of my physical limitations. If, at any time, I perceive any activity to be unsafe for any reason, I agree to discontinue my participation immediately.
Furthermore, I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue, and I agree to hold harmless the organizers of the 2025 Shiai, including its administrators, members, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, employees, and other participants. I also release the owners and lessors of the premises on which the activity takes place from any liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages arising from my participation.
I affirm that I (or my child) am in proper physical health and condition to participate in this martial arts tournament. I understand that the organizers reserve the right to exclude individuals from admission or competition if they engage in disruptive behavior or if they are deemed by the Tournament Chairman(s) to be counterproductive to the goals of the 2025 Shiai.
I also grant my consent for any pictures or videos taken or captured of me as a martial arts competitor, student, or observer to be used for publicity or promotional purposes. This includes publication or broadcasting on television, the internet, or other mass media by ShotoCup. I waive any claims for compensation related to such use.
By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the terms of this release and indemnity, and I voluntarily agree to its provisions.
