1. All Instructors must be First Aid qualified to instruct Kickboxing.

4. A competition indemnity must be completed by the participant before he / she may compete. The competition organizer may not let anyone compete without completing the indemnity. The competition organizer must keep all the indemnities for six months after the event. A copy of the competition indemnity is on the website.

5. The instructor / coach of the fighters competing at an event must sign the competition Declaration stating that his / her fighters are still healthy and fit to compete at the event. The competition / event organizer is responsible to see that the declarations are completed.
