I, entirely upon my own initiative and risk and responsibility am about to participate in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at McCleary Jiu-Jitsu Camden. I am at least 18 years of age. If I am under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian will sign below on my behalf.
I understand that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can cause serious injury or even death. I will be learning to immobilize an opponent by choking them unconscious or causing major trauma to joints such as the shoulder, knee, or elbow. At some point everyone who trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu long enough will suffer at least a minor injury. Knowing all of the above, I freely choose to participate in class and acknowledge my risk.
Therefore, I do hereby for myself, my heirs, executors, and administrators release and hold McCleary Jiu-Jitsu Camden, McCleary Industries and its board members, the head instructors Sean and Mary McCleary, and any guest instructors from any and all liability, negligence, claims, demands, actions or causes of actions, or cause of actions resulting from any participation in this sport/activity/class and associated activity.
I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I GIVE UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ANY COERCION, INDUCEMENT, ASSURANCE, OR GUARANTEE BEING MADE TO ME AND INTEND MY SIGNATURE TO BE A COMPLETE AND UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF ALL LIABILITY FROM THIS ACADEMY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
