Ensuring safety and appropriate training adaptations for individuals with medical conditions:

  • Participant Responsibilities: Inform the martial arts centre of any existing medical conditions during registration.
  • Form Completion: Fill out medical declaration forms accurately and comprehensively.
  • Instructor Awareness: Instructors must be aware of participants' medical conditions to provide appropriate support.

Managing Medical Conditions

Guidelines for instructors and participants to handle medical conditions effectively:

  • Individual Assessment: Discuss medical conditions privately with instructors to determine necessary adaptations.
  • Form Updates: Regularly review and update medical declaration forms to reflect any changes in health or emergency contact details.
  • Data Protection: Ensure all medical records are stored securely in compliance with Data Protection regulations.

Continuous Review and Communication

Maintaining up-to-date and accurate information for participant safety:

  • Regular Reviews: Review medical forms every six months or as required by martial arts association guidelines.
  • Open Communication: Participants should openly communicate any health concerns or changes in emergency contact details to the martial arts centre.

By adhering to these practices, both instructors and participants can ensure a safe and supportive training environment in martial arts.
