Health and Safety
All instructors, assistants, and senior students are first aid certified.
It is assumed that anyone attending class does so of their own free will and are aware that some discomfort may arise as a result of good training, such as aching muscles. This is to be expected and should only last a couple of days. If discomfort continues or increases or seems unfamiliar to you, contact a doctor immediately.
Anyone attending class should advise their instructor or instructor assistant of any injuries or conditions that may impact their ability to train at full level, so their training can be adjusted to the right level. WCA cannot be held accountable for any injuries or ailments occurring in or after class or as a direct result of training. If any discomfort arises after training, other than aching muscles, contact doctor immediately.
Kickboxing and Grappling
Sparring is an optional part of kickboxing, and grappling classes. All safety measures are taken by instructors and risk is on the part of the student, who accepts the increased risk of injury due to the nature of the activity.
All instructors are fully insured.
