  1. Training Disclaimer

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a contact sport that carries an inherent risk of physical injury. By attending any North Coast BJJ class or session, you acknowledge and accept the following:

  • Physical risk — BJJ involves close physical contact, throws, joint locks, and other techniques that can result in injury, including but not limited to bruises, sprains, fractures, and soft tissue damage. Injury can occur even when training safely and under supervision.

  • Fitness to train — You are responsible for ensuring that you are physically fit to participate. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or health concerns, you must disclose these to a coach before training.

  • Medical advice — Nothing on this website or in our classes constitutes medical advice. If you are unsure whether BJJ is appropriate for you, consult your GP or a medical professional before attending.

  • Children and young people — Parents or guardians are responsible for assessing the suitability of training for any person under 18 in their care.

  • Assumption of risk — By choosing to train with us, you voluntarily assume the risk of injury. While our coaches take reasonable steps to maintain a safe training environment, we cannot eliminate all risk.

This section does not replace any waiver or agreement you may be asked to sign through MAAT or at the gym. Separate terms may apply when booking classes or registering for membership.
