Adult Participant Registration & Liability Waiver

I understand that participation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, self-defense, fitness training, competitions, outreach events, transportation, volunteer service, and any other activities sponsored or conducted by Youth-Reach Costa Rica involves inherent risks, including sprains, fractures, dislocations, concussions, illness, permanent disability, property damage, and, in rare cases, death. I voluntarily choose to participate with full knowledge and acceptance of these risks.

I voluntarily assume full responsibility for any injury, illness, loss, damage, or expense that may arise from my participation in Foundation activities.

To the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica, I release, waive, and hold harmless Youth-Reach Costa Rica, its Foundation, Board of Directors, officers, Foundation leaders, instructors, volunteers, representatives, facility owners, partner organizations, and affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, lawsuits, damages, costs, or expenses arising out of or relating to my participation, except where liability cannot legally be waived.

I certify that I am physically capable of participating. I understand that I am responsible for my own medical insurance and medical expenses. In an emergency, I authorize Foundation leaders to obtain emergency medical treatment on my behalf if I am unable to provide consent.

I agree to treat every person with dignity, respect, and kindness; follow the instructions of Foundation leaders; help maintain a safe, welcoming, Christ-centered environment; and demonstrate good sportsmanship and self-control.

Participants who arrive intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs will not be permitted to participate. They may be immediately removed and may be suspended or permanently dismissed from the program. Our mission is to help individuals overcome addiction, not enable or perpetuate it. If you need help, please reach out to Foundation leaders.

Reckless behavior, unnecessary fighting, aggression, threats, intimidation, bullying, harassment, or conduct that endangers others will not be tolerated. If I become emotionally overwhelmed or unable to conduct myself appropriately, I agree to remove myself from training until I have regained composure. If I fail to do so, Foundation leaders may remove me and impose discipline, including suspension or permanent dismissal.
