Legal Disclaimer:

Self-defence and CQC (close quarters combat); the practise and application of techniques detailed in a MINDSET Self-Defence & Close Quarters Combat organised class, course, or workshop, are inherently dangerous. The techniques shown may cause significant and unintended injuries if applied or practised incorrectly or carelessly.

While practising self-defence or CQC techniques, you agree to be careful as to avoid strong pressure and damage to sensitive areas, including but not limited to the eyes, throat, face, groin, and pressure-point areas.

There can be no guarantee that a self-defence technique will, when applied in any given situation, be effective, and we strongly urge that if running away is an option, you should run rather than attempt to use a self-defence technique, especially where weapons are involved.

You agree, on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns: ·
