Participant Understanding

Chen Tai Chi is a form of martial arts, meaning they involve physical contact with one or more other practitioners in ways designed to simulate as closely as possible the self-defence options available to a practitioner when confronted with physical aggression and/or threatening behaviour.

As in any other physically demanding recreational activity, there is always a risk of injury. Any person participating in a class conducted by Chen Tai Chi Academy does so with the full understanding that whilst it is the policy of Chen Tai Chi Academy to minimise this risk, the nature of contact physical activity prevents its total elimination.

Persons participating in a class conducted by Chen Tai Chi Academy do so of their own volition and at their own risk.
