Martial Arts Training Disclaimer

Last Updated: September 10, 2026

Martial arts training can provide significant benefits in physical conditioning, coordination, awareness, confidence, mobility, and personal development. However, all martial arts and physical training involve inherent risks.

Assumption of Risk

Participation in martial arts may involve striking, kicking, grappling, falling, rolling, throwing, partner drills, resistance exercises, conditioning, and training with practice weapons or other equipment.

These activities may result in injury. By choosing to participate, each student accepts the risks normally associated with martial arts and physical training.

Train Within Your Abilities

Students should train responsibly and communicate injuries, physical limitations, or other concerns to the instructor before participating in activities that could aggravate those conditions.

Participants should never feel obligated to perform an exercise, technique, drill, or activity that they believe exceeds their capabilities or presents an unreasonable risk.

Weapons Training

Certain programs offered through CFL Systema may include training with swords, sticks, knives, staffs, training weapons, or other martial arts equipment.

Weapons training requires particular attention to safety, distance, control, and instructor guidance. Techniques demonstrated with weapons should not be practiced irresponsibly or without appropriate supervision, equipment, and training.

Website and Video Demonstrations

Techniques, exercises, articles, photographs, and videos appearing on this website are provided for educational purposes.

Self Defense

Real world situations are unpredictable. Avoidance, awareness, de escalation, and compliance with applicable laws should always be considered when personal safety is involved.

Health and Physical Readiness

Martial arts training can be physically demanding. Anyone with an injury, medical condition, significant physical limitation, or concern about participating in strenuous activity should obtain appropriate professional guidance before beginning or continuing training.

Personal Responsibility

Every participant is responsible for following instructor directions, using appropriate control when working with training partners, respecting safety procedures, and immediately reporting unsafe conditions or injuries.
