I confirm that I am the parent or legal guardian of the young person named above and have authority to give consent for them to participate in activities provided by Chokdee Martial Fitness Academy.

I understand that martial arts, contact training, sparring, fitness, strength and conditioning and use of gym equipment involve inherent risks. *I give permission for my child to participate in appropriate classes and activities for their age, ability and experience. *I understand that the coach may modify, pause or stop an activity where they consider this necessary for safety. *I understand that participation is subject to the gym's rules, safeguarding procedures and safety instructions. *

Possible injuries include, but are not limited to, bruises, cuts, grazes, sprains, strains, muscle soreness, joint injuries, dislocations, fractures, concussion, head injury, dental injury, eye injury and, in rare circumstances, serious injury or death.

Nothing in this form is intended to exclude or restrict any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

If my child becomes injured or unwell during a session, I authorise staff to provide appropriate first aid within their training and to contact emergency services where reasonably necessary. Staff will attempt to contact me or the emergency contact as soon as reasonably practicable.

I give permission for emergency medical assistance to be sought for my child where reasonably necessary. *

7. Martial Arts, Contact Training & Sparring

Contact training or sparring will only take place when authorised by the coach and in accordance with the rules, age/ability group and protective equipment requirements of the session.

Sparring is only permitted when authorised and supervised by a coach. *Appropriate protective equipment must be worn when required. *Participants must follow the coach's instructions regarding intensity, technique and permitted contact. *Participants must stop immediately when instructed or when a participant indicates that they need to stop. *Deliberately excessive contact, retaliation, bullying, intimidation or unsafe behaviour is not permitted. *The coach may stop a young person from sparring or participating if they believe it is unsafe. *

Equipment will only be used as instructed and appropriate to the young person's age, size, ability and training needs. *The young participant must ask a coach if they do not know how to use equipment safely. *Faulty or damaged equipment must be reported immediately. *The young participant must follow all gym rules relating to safe movement, lifting, supervision and use of training areas. *

9. Behaviour, Respect & Safeguarding

I understand that the gym expects respectful behaviour towards coaches, staff and other participants. *Bullying, harassment, discrimination, threatening behaviour and abusive language are not acceptable. *Physical contact must remain within the rules of the activity and the coach's instructions. *The gym may pause or end a young person's participation where behaviour creates a safety or safeguarding concern. *I understand that safeguarding concerns may need to be shared with appropriate safeguarding professionals where required. *

10. Collection & Supervision

The parent/guardian should ensure that the gym has accurate contact and collection information. Unless separately agreed in writing, the gym's responsibility relates to the agreed class/session and does not extend to unsupervised time before or after it.

I understand the gym's arrangements for drop-off, collection and supervision. *

I understand that my martial arts membership does not automatically include access to the separate Strength & Conditioning Gym and that this area requires the appropriate membership, booking, payment and/or coach supervision. *
