Insurance is a backup and is no replacement for safe practices.
Please note there is an inherent risk of physical injury in the practice
and learning of a contact sport such as Tae Kwon-Do. Whilst Newcastle Taekwondo
CIC will take all reasonable steps to minimise the likelihood of an accident,
the risk of physical injury cannot be eliminated. There is particular risk in
the context of sparring, breaking, competitions and grading exercises which by
their nature are likely to result in an individual approaching and potentially
exceeding the limits of their skills and physical ability. All activities will
be explained and demonstrated but it the individual’s sole responsibility to
judge if an activity is within their capabilities for themselves. If an
individual has any doubt whatsoever as to their ability to safely complete any
exercise they should sit out. Newcastle Taekwondo CIC accept no liability for
injuries sustained in the course of practicing and learning of Tae Kwon-Do save
for injuries attributed to negligence of the appointed coaches and instructors.
A similar disclaimer is on all insurance/license forms, grading cards and competition entries. Insurance forms also require acceptance of the TAGB privacy policy, see link. https://tagb.biz/page.php?113
