—The Choong Sil Taekwondo Federation, Inc. is a National certifying body for Taekwondo rank as well as the sponsor of regional and national tournaments. Your taekwondo training facility has chosen to affiliate with the CTF in order to provide you the benefits listed on the front of this application. The USTL sponsors National and International sanctioned tournaments in which you may participate. American Open Martial Arts (AOMA) sponsors the group Accident Insurance program offered to CTF member schools. As long as your TKD school maintains a current policy, the Student Accident insurance above will also cover the student while training at that school or other school sanctioned events. You should contact your Chief Instructor for more information on this coverage.
RULES—As a condition of the student’s membership in ISTKD and the CTF, the student agrees to abide by all rules imposed by ISTKD and the CTF organization or other USTL affiliates as outlined on the organization’s websites or below.
RISKS AND RELEASES—I, the student, understand that taekwondo is a contact sport and involves risks including serious bodily injury.
I, the student, am aware of the nature of taekwondo and acknowledge that the student’s experience, physical condition, and capabilities are such that the student is capable of participating in the sport. I further agree that if, at any time, I believe that the student becomes incapable, the student will immediately discontinue further participation in those ISTKD and CTF activities that might cause injury to the student. I further understand that participation involves risks and danger of serious bodily injury which may be caused by actions or inactions on the part of the student, the others participating in or supervising the activity, the condition in which the activity takes place, negligence of the owners or staff of ISTKD, the CTF affiliate school or the negligence of the CTF organizations.
There may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time; and the student fully accepts and assumes all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages incurred as a result of his participation in the activity. The student hereby releases, discharges, covenants not to use, and agrees to hold harmless Choong Sil Taekwondo Federation, Inc., USTL, AOMA and any CTF affiliated school, club or facility where the activity may take place, including ______Inner Strength Taekwondo LLC____ (CTF Affiliate No._1801_ ) (each considered one of the “Releases” herein) from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of any of the “Releases” or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations. I, the student, further agree that if, despite this release, the student or anyone acting on “the student’s” behalf makes a claim against any of the “Releases” named above, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the releases from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss liability, damage or cost that may incur as the result of any such claim. I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that “the student” has given up substantial rights by signing it.
I, the student, have signed it freely and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by the law. I, the student, also agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, that the balance, notwithstanding, shall continue in full force and effect.
NOTE TO PARENTS OF MINOR CHILDREN—No minor student should be allowed to remain at any taekwondo training facility outside of normal class times nor should they be allowed to travel alone at any time with any taekwondo instructor or staff. This is for their protection. Instructors are advised to always have at least two adults present when minors are in the taekwondo training facility or participating in any other practice or sanctioned activity. Parents should always feel free to observe classes and events from the spectator’s gallery. Should you ever have any concerns regarding your child’s training, please discuss them with your child’s instructor. Please feel free to contact the CTF National Office IMMEDIATELY if you have any concerns of this nature.
