RISEN Jiu Jitsu Pty Ltd | ABN 20 701 005 370
ADULT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT, RISK WARNING & WAIVER
1. Participation & Risk Warning
I voluntarily request and agree to participate in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ("BJJ"), grappling, martial arts training, fitness activities, classes, open mats, seminars, gradings, competitions, demonstrations and other related activities provided or organised by RISEN Jiu Jitsu Pty Ltd ("RISEN"). Training may include conditioning, drilling, positional training, sparring or "rolling", takedowns, throws, sweeps, pins, joint locks, chokes and other techniques involving direct physical contact.
Risk Warning: BJJ and martial arts are physical contact sports and recreational activities involving inherent and significant risks of physical injury. Risks include, without limitation, falls, collisions, strains, sprains, bruising, cuts, joint or ligament injuries, dislocations,
fractures, head or facial injuries, concussion, choking or submission-related injury, aggravation of pre-existing conditions, skin or communicable infections, and injury associated with strenuous exercise, mats, training equipment, facilities or physical contact with
other participants. Serious injury, permanent disability and, in rare circumstances, death may occur.
I understand that not every risk can be anticipated or eliminated. I voluntarily choose to participate with knowledge of these risks and accept the inherent and obvious risks associated with BJJ and martial arts training.
2. Health, Fitness & Hygiene
I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, I am physically capable of participating. I agree to disclose to RISEN any injury, illness, medical condition, physical limitation or medication that may reasonably affect my ability to train safely, and to update RISEN if relevant circumstances change.
I agree not to train while I have, or reasonably suspect that I have, a contagious illness, skin infection or other condition that may create a health risk for other participants. I understand that RISEN may reasonably restrict participation where necessary for health, hygiene or safety.
I understand that RISEN instructors and staff are not medical practitioners. If I am uncertain about my ability to participate safely, I will obtain appropriate medical advice before training.
3. Safety & Conduct
I agree to follow reasonable instructions from RISEN instructors and staff, train in a controlled and respectful manner, release techniques immediately when a training partner taps or otherwise submits, communicate injuries or safety concerns, comply with RISEN rules and hygiene standards, and stop participating when directed. I will not train while affected by alcohol, recreational drugs or any substance that materially impairs my ability to participate safely.
4. First Aid & Emergency Treatment
If I am injured or become unwell and I am unable to provide instructions myself, I authorise RISEN and its instructors or staff to provide or arrange reasonable first aid, contact emergency services, and, where reasonably considered necessary, arrange ambulance transport or medical treatment. I understand that I remain responsible for resulting ambulance, hospital or medical costs, subject to any applicable insurance or legal entitlement.
5. Waiver, Release & Indemnity
To the maximum extent permitted by law, including section 5N of the Civil Liability Act 2002 (NSW) and section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), I agree that my participation in the recreational services and activities provided by RISEN is at my own risk. To the extent permitted by those laws, I agree that any term, guarantee, warranty, right or remedy relating to the provision of RISEN recreational services may be excluded, restricted or modified in respect of personal injury or other loss or damage for which such exclusion, restriction or modification is legally permitted. I release and discharge RISEN, its owners, directors, instructors, employees, contractors and agents from liability to that extent, and I agree to indemnify those persons against claims brought by me
or on my behalf to the extent that such claims may lawfully be released or indemnified. Nothing in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee, remedy or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified, including liability that cannot be excluded under section 139A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
6. Photography, Video & Media Consent
I understand and agree that RISEN may photograph, film or otherwise record classes, training sessions, seminars, competitions, events and other activities in which I participate. 
By signing this agreement, I consent to RISEN capturing, using, reproducing, editing and publishing photographs, video recordings and other media in which I may appear for purposes connected with the operation and promotion of RISEN, including its website, social media, digital advertising, promotional materials, educational or training content and marketing communications. I understand that such media may be published publicly and may remain in circulation after publication. I acknowledge that I am not entitled to payment, royalties or other compensation for authorised use of such media. RISEN will use such media reasonably and respectfully and will not knowingly use my image in a misleading, defamatory or inappropriate manner.
7. Continuing Agreement & Acknowledgement
This agreement applies to my free trial and, unless replaced or otherwise ended in accordance with applicable law, to my subsequent participation in RISEN activities. By signing, I confirm that I have read and understood this agreement and the risk warning above; I understand that BJJ involves
significant physical contact and risk of injury; I have had the opportunity to ask questions; the information I provide to RISEN is accurate to the best of my knowledge; I voluntarily choose to participate; and I agree to these terms.
