For participation in Japan Karate Association World Federation of Australia and The Martial Way (Budo) training, competition and related karate activities please read the following:

Part A

Japan Karate Association World Federation of Australia (JKA/WF Australia) and The Martial Way (Budo) training, competition, and related Karate-Do activities are designed to be non-contact. Due to the very nature of Karate-Do, physical and mental demands can be very high. Techniques are often delivered at high speed and participants are required to move with rapid changes of direction. Also, due to the nature of training and competition, participants may be required to train with, and compete against others of mixed ranges of age, weight, height and skill levels.

Various musculoskeletal injuries may result simply due to the high velocity movement. Also, unintentional physical contact may result during technique delivery, evasion or application of unbalancing or counter techniques.

As a member of JKA/WF Australia and The Martial Way (Budo), you agree to follow the directions of the Sensei / Teacher. Also, you agree to apply yourself, to the best of your endeavours, to development of your character, to be sincere, to foster and display a spirit of effort, to apply proper etiquette and display courage without impertinence.

You are advised of this inherent risk and the participation commitment expected and by signing this Informed Consent and Participation Committment Form, and taking part in JKA/WF Australia and The Martial Way (Budo) activities, (or if a parent or legal guardian allowing your child or ward to take part), you knowingly accept that risk and committment for yourself (or your child or ward) and absolve JKA/WF Australia and the The Martial Way (Budo) of any injury, physical or otherwise, that may result due to these inherent risks and participation committment.

I acknowledge and agree that any media products produced by the Association can be used to promote the JKA/WF Australia and The Martial Way (Budo). This consent is giving under the understanding that I will receive no monetary value in return and that the Association is the true owner of the media product.
