Full question:
I am a traveling self defense life skills Master Instructor. I just started to travel and train young and older adults on the art of street self defense. The sessions also include some physical cardio activity which is part of the overall routine and or lession as well as hands on demonstration of self defense techniques. Part of this training is knowledge and that comes from a presentation. I am looking for a liability release form that will protect me or an associate instructor that travels with me at times.

Answer:
A waiver or release form allows participants to give up certain rights, such as the right to sue for harm or damage that may occur during activities. Some activities, like self-defense training, are inherently risky, and participants may need to sign a release form to acknowledge that they understand and accept these risks. This release provides assurance to the instructor that they will not face legal action from participants who voluntarily engage in these activities.
USLegalForms offers various types of waivers, including those for recreational sports. These forms are designed to be applicable in multiple jurisdictions. Generally, negligence laws that could lead to liability claims against service providers are consistent across states.
