WaiverSign Makes Liability Waivers Easier for Martial Arts

Whether it's seeking a new physical activity to stay in shape or garner self-defense skills, martial arts programs have become a global phenomenon. With regimented training, students of all ages are understanding the history and culture behind these tactics, as well as the refined physical movement that comes with each style of combat. Students are empowered by instructors to fine-tune these actions, working their way up to the highest levels of expertise.

However, the safety of all who take part in a martial arts program is pivotal to any studio or fitness center. Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre Australia seeks to pass on these techniques, while also emphasizing a safe environment for everyone. However, there is a risk of injury associated with martial arts that students or the parents and legal guardians of minor students need to be aware of. That's where WaiverSign can help to clearly dictate those inherent risks, clearing the way for a safe climate to practice.

The Background: Bringing Martial Arts To Australia

Sherrilyn Walters and her team opened the Australian branch of the International Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre when she first moved down under in 2006. The goal was to deliver a unique martial arts school to locals, offering training in Chang Hong kung fu, tai chi, self-defense, and combat-oriented fitness.

This unique system sought to introduce these forms to athletes of all ages to train and build up their regimen for the greatest success in these skills going forward. However, these activities do carry a risk of serious injury, raising concerns for students and instructors to make sure that everyone is as safe as can be during sessions. With more new members joining the CMAHC ranks, a solution was needed to get a waiver of liability filled out in advance of a student's first class.

Sherrilyn and her team were in need of a digital solution to have waivers and releases of liability signed by new members ahead of time. This would also spare both her staff and students from having to worry about a physical paper copy of an indemnity form or medical waiver form upon their first session. That's where WaiverSign came into the picture, delivering an online waiver unique to CMAHC's needs.
