While we have taken every effort to ensure all content on this website is correct, the Japan Karate Shotorenmei England (JKS England) cannot accept any responsibility for accident or injury caused through misinterpretation of its contents.
Karate is physically demanding and can be dangerous if done improperly. As a martial art and semi-contact sport, minor injuries (such as bruising or blisters) are inevitable and participants may expect to receive them from time to time during normal training. As with any programme of strenuous exercise, it is recommended that a person with any existing injury/illness, or in any doubt as to the risks, should consult their physician/doctor for advice before commencing training.
JKS England is committed to maintaining an extremely high level of training and to looking after the welfare of its members; however, the responsibility falls on the individual member to know their own limitations and to practice Karate responsibly.
Members are obliged to report any existing/new injuries and illnesses to their instructor or event administrator prior to training. Whilst JKS England and its instructors will ensure that all reasonable precautions to minimise the potential for injury are taken, they cannot be held liable for personal injury sustained by any member during training or competition.
You are urged to use this website for information purposes only and to seek regular training with a qualified instructor.
We also cannot accept responsibility for any valuables that are lost or stolen at any of the events organised by JKS England. Please keep any valuable items at home.
