Re: martial arts school
You can try but in Virginia it will not hold up for minors. It may work under some circumstances for adults if the waiver is properly worded.
This is a question I get on a regular basis and which is discussed somewhat on the website www.karatelaw.com
You can go there for more information.
Re: martial arts school
Although waivers may under certain circumstances be enforceable they should not be considered a substitute for insurance. Even in a case where the waiver is enforceable and works to bar recovery it will not necessarily prevent the claim from being brought.
