Acknowledgement of risk and waiver

Version 1 November 2026

Please read this before you train. It's short, and it matters.

1. 1. Combat training has risks

   Training at Valkyries includes striking, pad work, grappling, sparring and hard conditioning. Even with good coaching and care, injuries happen: bruises, sprains and strains, and sometimes serious injuries such as broken bones or concussion. I choose to take part, and I accept those risks.

2. 2. I'm fit to train, and I'll tell you what you need to know

   As far as I know I'm fit to train, apart from anything I've told Valkyries. I'll tell my coach before class about any injury, illness, medical condition or pregnancy, and whenever something changes. If I'm not sure training is safe for me, I'll check with a doctor first.

3. 3. I'll follow the coach and train safely

   I'll follow my coaches' instructions and the gym rules, wear the protective gear they ask for, look after my training partners, and stop when I'm told to. If I'm hurt, dizzy or unwell, I'll stop and tell a coach straight away.

4. 4. First aid and emergencies

   If I'm hurt or unwell, Valkyries' coaches and staff may give me first aid, call an ambulance or get other medical help, and contact my emergency contact. Any treatment or ambulance costs are mine.

5. 5. Responsibility

   As far as the law allows, I release Valkyries MMA, its owners, coaches and staff from liability for any injury, loss or damage that comes from my training, including to my belongings. This doesn't take away any rights I have under the Australian Consumer Law that can't be excluded.

6. 6. Under 18

   If I'm under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to this too. Ask the team before your first class.

7. 7. Photos are separate

   Agreeing to this waiver isn't agreeing to photos or video. That's a separate choice, it's optional, and you can change it any time.
