Health, Injuries & Medical Conditions

Participation in martial arts, combat sports, fitness training and strength & conditioning can be physically demanding.

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, I am fit to participate safely.

I understand that I am responsible for informing The Combat Syndicate and its coaches of any relevant:

• current or previous injuries
• medical conditions
• allergies
• medication
• recent surgery or treatment
• other circumstances that may affect my ability to train safely

I understand that I must inform a coach if my health or injury status changes, and that I should not participate where I have been advised not to train or where doing so may place myself or others at unnecessary risk.

If I am unsure whether I am medically fit to participate, I understand that I should seek appropriate medical advice before training.

Please disclose anything our coaches should be aware of. If there is nothing to declare, enter “None”:

Acknowledgement of Risk

I understand that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling, fitness training, strength & conditioning and related activities involve inherent risks.

These may include, but are not limited to:

• cuts, bruises and abrasions
• sprains and strains
• joint injuries
• fractures
• concussion
• accidental contact with other participants or equipment
• serious injury in rare circumstances

I understand that some activities may involve physical contact, sparring, grappling, striking, throws, takedowns and the use of training equipment.

I voluntarily choose to participate and accept the ordinary and inherent risks associated with these activities.

Nothing in this agreement is intended to exclude or restrict any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Hygiene, Illness & Infection

I understand that combat sports and close-contact training carry a risk of skin infections and communicable illness.

I agree not to train if I know or reasonably suspect that I have a contagious skin condition, infection or illness that may place other participants at risk.

I agree to maintain appropriate personal hygiene and follow The Combat Syndicate’s hygiene and safety requirements.

Code of Conduct & Safety

I agree to:

• treat coaches, staff and other participants with respect
• follow reasonable instructions given by coaches and staff
• train safely, responsibly and with appropriate control
• wear suitable training clothing and protective equipment where required
• report injuries or concerning symptoms to a coach as soon as reasonably possible
• respect the gym, its equipment and other people’s property
• not engage in deliberately reckless, threatening, abusive or dangerous behaviour
• leave training areas and communal spaces reasonably clean and tidy

I understand that serious or repeated breaches of gym rules may result in suspension or termination of participation or membership.

Where I purchase a membership, PAYG session or other paid service, the applicable price, payment terms, cancellation arrangements and booking conditions are provided separately as part of the purchase or booking process.

I understand that those terms form part of my agreement with The Combat Syndicate.
