Workshop: Special Self Defense Workshop

Organizer: Agni Samaj Support Email: support@agnisamaj.com

This Participant Consent and Undertaking applies to every person registering for the Special Self Defense Workshop.

During registration/payment, the participant must select the mandatory confirmation field stating that they have read, understood, and agreed to this Participant Consent and Undertaking, the Terms and Conditions, Refund and Cancellation Policy, Health and Safety Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and workshop participation rules.

Selection of that mandatory confirmation field will be treated as the participant’s consent, undertaking, and agreement for the purpose of registration and participation.

There is no separate consent form unless the organizer specifically requires additional digital or physical confirmation for operational, safety, age-verification, venue-day, or compliance reasons.

1. Mandatory Registration/Payment Confirmation

The registration/payment form must include a mandatory checkbox, radio button, dropdown, or equivalent confirmation field with wording substantially similar to the following:

“I confirm that I have read, understood, and agree to the Terms and Conditions, Refund and Cancellation Policy, Participant Consent and Undertaking, Health and Safety Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, and workshop participation rules. I understand that participation involves physical activity and inherent risk. I confirm that the information submitted by me is true and correct, and I agree to follow trainer and organizer instructions.”

Registration/payment should not proceed unless this mandatory confirmation is selected.

2. Voluntary Participation

I confirm that I am voluntarily registering for and participating in the Special Self Defense Workshop.

I understand that participation is not compulsory.

I understand that I may choose not to participate in any activity, drill, exercise, or demonstration if I feel uncomfortable, unsafe, unwell, or unable to do so.

I understand that I must immediately inform the trainer or organizer if I feel pain, dizziness, discomfort, fear, breathing difficulty, injury, panic, or any other concern during the workshop.

3. Nature of the Workshop

I understand that the workshop may include physical movement, practical drills, demonstrations, basic self-defense movements, situational awareness training, reaction exercises, partner-based activity, supervised practice, and safety-related instruction.

I understand that the workshop is intended for awareness, confidence building, basic practical exposure, and responsible self-protection.

I understand that the workshop does not guarantee personal safety, legal protection, physical superiority, fighting ability, martial arts mastery, protection from crime, or success in any real-life confrontation.

4. Physical Risk Acknowledgement

I understand that self-defense training involves inherent physical risk.

Possible risks may include death, fatigue, strain, sprain, bruising, pain, fall, impact, accidental contact, minor injury, serious injury, aggravation of an existing medical condition, emotional discomfort, or other physical or mental stress.

I accept that these risks may arise even when the organizer, trainer, volunteers, and venue team take reasonable precautions.

I agree to participate responsibly, follow instructions, and avoid reckless, aggressive, unsafe, or disruptive behavior.

5. Health and Fitness Declaration

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, I am physically and mentally fit to participate in the workshop.

I confirm that I have not been advised by a doctor or qualified medical professional to avoid such physical activity.

I understand that I am responsible for assessing my own health, fitness, and suitability before registering and participating.

I agree to disclose to the organizer or trainer, before participation, any relevant medical condition, injury, limitation, disability, recent surgery, pregnancy, chronic pain, heart condition, breathing issue, neurological condition, mental health concern, medication, allergy, or other health issue that may affect my safe participation.

I understand that the organizer and trainer are not medical professionals unless specifically stated, and that they rely on information provided by the participant.

I understand that I should consult a qualified medical professional before participating if I have any doubt about my fitness, health, or suitability for the workshop.

6. Responsibility to Follow Instructions

I agree to follow all instructions given by the trainer, organizer, venue team, and authorized volunteers.

I agree to stop immediately if instructed to stop.

I agree not to attempt any movement, technique, drill, or activity beyond my comfort, ability, or instruction.

I agree not to use excessive force, unsafe contact, sudden aggression, or unauthorized techniques during the workshop.

I understand that failure to follow instructions may result in denial of participation, removal from the session, or cancellation of my registration.

7. Lawful and Responsible Use

I understand that the workshop is for lawful self-protection, awareness, discipline, and responsible personal safety.

I agree not to misuse any technique, knowledge, discussion, or training received during the workshop.

I agree not to use the training for aggression, intimidation, bullying, revenge, provocation, vigilantism, unlawful violence, or any illegal purpose.

I understand that I alone am responsible for my actions during and after the workshop.

8. Real-Life Lawful Self-Defense Principles

I understand that the workshop is intended to teach awareness, prevention, confidence, discipline, basic self-protection concepts, and responsible conduct. It is not intended to encourage aggression, confrontation, vigilantism, revenge, provocation, intimidation, unlawful violence, or misuse of physical skills.

I understand and agree that any self-defense knowledge or skill learned during the workshop must be used only lawfully, responsibly, and only when genuinely necessary for self-protection or protection of another person where legally permissible.

If I ever face a real-life safety situation, I agree to follow the following lawful conduct principles to the best of my ability:

1. Avoidance first: I should avoid unsafe places, unsafe people, unnecessary confrontation, escalation, provocation, and ego-driven conflict wherever reasonably possible.
2. Awareness and distance: I should maintain awareness, create distance, move toward safety, and look for exits, help, lighted areas, public places, or safer positions wherever possible.
3. Verbal de-escalation: Where safe and practical, I should use clear verbal boundaries, calm communication, warning, refusal, or disengagement before any physical action.
4. Seek help where possible: If there is time and opportunity, I should seek help from nearby people, family, venue/security staff, police, emergency services, or other public authorities instead of taking physical action.
5. Physical action only when necessary: I should use physical self-defense only when I reasonably believe there is an immediate or continuing threat to my safety or the safety of another person, and non-physical options are unavailable, unsafe, or insufficient.
6. Proportionate response: Any physical response should be limited to what reasonably appears necessary to prevent, stop, or escape the threat. It should not be excessive, punitive, retaliatory, or continued after the threat has stopped.
7. Stop when safe: I should stop using physical force as soon as I am able to escape, create safety, get help, or when the immediate threat is no longer continuing.
8. Escape and report: After reaching safety, I should seek help, contact trusted persons, venue/security staff, police, emergency services, or medical assistance as appropriate.
9. Medical and legal responsibility: If anyone is injured, I should seek appropriate medical or emergency help where reasonably possible and cooperate with lawful authorities.
10. No revenge or pursuit: I should not chase, punish, retaliate, threaten, humiliate, record for public shaming, or continue confrontation after the immediate danger has ended.
11. No unlawful weapons or escalation: I should not carry or use illegal weapons or unsafe objects, and I should not escalate a situation unnecessarily.
12. Legal consequences: I understand that misuse of self-defense skills may create criminal, civil, financial, reputational, or personal consequences for me.

I understand that the right of private defence, lawful self-protection, and use of force depend on the facts, circumstances, immediacy of threat, proportionality, available alternatives, and applicable law. I understand that the workshop does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee legal protection in any real-life incident.

I agree that I alone am responsible for my conduct during and after the workshop.

9. Conduct Undertaking

I agree that I will not:

1. Attend under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or intoxicants.
2. Carry weapons, sharp objects, illegal items, or unsafe objects.
3. Harass, threaten, abuse, intimidate, provoke, or disturb anyone.
4. Touch, photograph, record, or contact another participant without permission.
5. Share exact venue details publicly without permission.
6. Disrupt the workshop or ignore safety instructions.
7. Engage in any conduct that creates safety, legal, reputational, operational, or disciplinary risk.

I understand that the organizer may deny entry, stop my participation, remove me from the venue, or cancel my registration if my conduct is unsafe, unlawful, disruptive, suspicious, or inconsistent with the purpose of the workshop.

10. Venue Confidentiality and Security

I understand that the exact venue is shared only with registered participants for safety, security, and operational reasons.

I agree not to publicly post, forward, publish, circulate, or disclose the exact venue details without permission from the organizer.

I understand that the venue is subject to change and that the organizer may modify venue-related instructions for safety, security, administrative, weather-related, or operational reasons.

The workshop is open to participants aged 14 years and above.

The organizer may require additional confirmation, identity verification, parent/guardian confirmation, or physical signature before allowing a minor participant to participate.

The organizer may deny participation to a minor participant if parent or guardian consent is incomplete, doubtful, unavailable, or unverifiable.

12. Emergency Support

In case of injury, illness, distress, or emergency during the workshop, I authorize the organizer, trainer, venue team, or authorized volunteers to contact my emergency contact, if provided.

If urgent assistance is required, I authorize the organizer or its team to seek basic first aid, emergency support, ambulance support, or medical assistance as reasonably considered necessary.

I understand that I will be responsible for any medical, transport, hospital, medicine, consultation, or related expenses arising from such assistance unless otherwise required by applicable law.

14. Photography, Video, and Recording

I understand that the organizer may take photographs or videos for documentation, internal reporting, educational, archival, or promotional purposes.

Participants who do not wish to be photographed or recorded should inform the organizer before the workshop begins.

I understand that even where a participant informs the organizer that they do not wish to be photographed or recorded, they may still appear incidentally in crowd shots or background footage despite reasonable efforts to avoid such capture.

I agree not to record, livestream, photograph, or publish workshop content, trainer demonstrations, participants, venue details, or internal instructions without prior permission from the organizer.
