I, on behalf of myself, members of my family, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns assume all responsibility for and all risk of damage or injury that may occur to the undersigned, as a participant or student in Victory Defense Systems, course of instruction in martial arts techniques, body conditioning and self-defense (referred to in this Assumption of Risk Agreement and Release as “Martial Arts Instruction”), while attending classes, participating in exercises, fighting opponents, performing in demonstrations, or using Martial Arts Instruction equipment, weapons and designated Martial Arts Instruction facilities (any location used for the Martial Arts Instruction or demonstrations, hereinafter referred to as “Designated Facilities”) or following Martial Arts Instruction activities in or out of Designated Facilities or traveling to or from any Designated Facilities.

I am aware Martial Arts Instruction is a hazardous activity, and am voluntarily participating in this activity with knowledge of the danger involved and hereby agree to accept any and all risks of injury.

I currently have no known physical or mental condition that would impair my capability for full participation in Martial Arts Instruction.
