Forms:
All members of the Chinese Kung Fu Academy are subject to certain membership conditions to protect the rights and safety of the students. As it is important for every member to understand his or her rights and obligations, the following overview should be read carefully and in conjunction with the forms which are available to all students who join the CKFA.
1. The ‘Martial Arts Contract’:
This document makes reference to payment of club fees, medical conditions, consumer rights, waivers and indemnities, risks associated with practising Martial Arts, agreement to abide by the Academy’s rules, and some other important issues. Essentially this means you claim that you are medically cleared to practise a martial art and that you understand that martial arts are a DANGEROUS ACTIVITY.
2. The ‘Application Form’:
This form contains the member’s details and emergency contacts, a ‘Health Declaration’. the member’s martial arts history, a declaration of understanding of terms, and guardian’s consents for all persons under 18 years.
It is important that all the information provided by the student on these documents are current, correct, complete, readable and unambiguous. If any details have changed, they should be updated as soon as possible. Remember that the information on these forms may have to be used when incidents occur, your safety can therefore depend on them.
Students who have any questions relating to these documents can approach one of the instructors for more detailed explanations and additional information.
All persons details you provide will be always treated as strictly confidential.
