Coaching Safety and Participation Boundaries
Effective date: May 28, 2026.
Physical activity involves risk
Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, grappling, strength training, conditioning, clinics, and combat-sports practice can involve falls, contact, fatigue, weight-management issues, overuse, acute injury, and other risks. Website content does not remove those risks.
No medical clearance through the website
The site does not provide medical clearance, diagnosis, rehabilitation plans, injury treatment, concussion evaluation, eating-disorder support, weight-cut plans, or emergency guidance. Athletes should use qualified medical professionals for medical questions.
Coaching requests
A coaching message starts a conversation — not a confirmed session, clinic, event, schedule, price, or relationship. Any confirmed coaching or clinic may require a separate agreement, facility approval, insurance/waiver process, emergency contact, and clear scope.
Youth and school events
Youth, school, camp, or minor-participation requests should come from a parent, guardian, school, gym, club, or responsible adult organizer. Do not send a child’s private information through the general contact form. The responsible adult organizer should handle consent, supervision, emergency contacts, waivers, facility rules, and photography/video permissions.
What to include in an inquiry
- Athlete age range, level, sport, and goals.
- Location, facility, proposed dates, group size, and responsible organizer.
- Safety constraints, supervision plan, and any known facility rules.
- Whether the request is private coaching, a clinic, school event, nonprofit event, speaking, or mentorship.
Media and photos at events
Photo or video use should be discussed before events, especially for minors, schools, clinics, sponsors, and nonprofit programming. Separate permission may be required before anyone’s image, name, school, gym, or likeness is used publicly.
Emergency issues
Do not use the website, contact form, or social media for emergency medical issues, urgent safety concerns, or time-sensitive injury decisions. Use local emergency services, onsite staff, facility procedures, or qualified medical professionals.
