RELATIONSHIP

CODE OF ETHICS

New York Budo Association (NYBA) is committed to creating a safe and ethical environment for training in Japanese martial arts. While training with NYBA or NYBA-hosted events, we hereby agree to the following CODE OF ETHICS to help co-create a respectful, inclusive, strong, and supportive community of budo practitioners. We do not discriminate based on sex, race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, seniority, rank, or any other grounds. We respect each other, and the individual’s journey in budo training in both its physical and mental aspects. As such, we seek to co-create a healthy, consent-based training culture, and do not engage in or tolerate harassing behavior. Harassment includes but is not limited to: ○ Inappropriate/disrespectful verbal comments or verbal abuse ○ Hate speech ○ Deliberate intimidation ○ Deliberate physical assault ○ Stalking ○ Sustained disruption of training and related events Sexual Harassment includes but is not limited to: ○ Unwelcome flirtations, attentions, advances, or propositions ○ Unwelcome/inappropriate physical contact ○ Unsolicited comments about an individual’s body unrelated to training We do not engage in the use of illegal drugs, underage drinking, and misuse/abuse of alcohol, prescription or over-the-counter drugs that affect the ability to control our own behavior while participating in training. For participation at NYBA-hosted events outside the dojo , we respect the alcohol & drug policy of the venue. We follow the rules outlined by the NYBA DOJO RULES & ETIQUETTE to ensure the smooth running of the dojo while co-creating a respectful culture. We believe in open dialogues to build stronger connections and community. Anyone who experiences or witnesses any event that makes them feel uncomfortable is encouraged to voice their concerns with the members of the Ethics Committee. All inquiries will be addressed promptly, thoroughly, and impartially, with discretion and, to the extent reasonably possible, will be kept confidential. Any retaliatory actions taken toward individual(s) attempting to open a dialogue will be subject to disciplinary measures, up to and including dismissal from the NYBA. New York Budo Association reserves the right to dismiss or take disciplinary actions against any members/participants whose behavior jeopardizes the welcoming and inclusive culture, or detracts from the safety, welfare, and wellbeing of others.

I have read and agree to the terms above.

CORONA VIRUS/COVID-19/CONTAGIOUS VIRUS AND ILLNESS LIABILITY RELEASE AND WAIVER

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious. The New York Budo Association (NYBA) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, the NYBA cannot guarantee that you will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, participation could increase your risk of contracting COVID- 19 or other infectious diseases. I acknowledge the contagious nature of Coronavirus/COVID-19 and that the CDC and many other public health authorities still recommend practicing social distancing and wearing face coverings. I further acknowledge and agree that the NYBA has put in place reasonable preventative measures to reduce the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19 and other viruses and illnesses. I further acknowledge and agree that the NYBA cannot guarantee that I will not become exposed to or infected with Coronavirus/Covid-19 or any other virus or illness while using NYBA facilities or equipment. I understand and agree that the risk of exposure to Coronavirus/COVID-19 and other viruses and illnesses is inherent and unavoidable with regard to the activity of visiting and working out at the dojo. I understand and agree that this risk may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and/or others, including, but not limited to, NYBA staff, members, clients, guests, and others using or visiting the NYBA.

I understand that this liability release and waiver supplements and does not replace or reduce any liability release and/or waiver I have previously agreed to, such as in my NYBA membership agreement. I further expressly agree that this Release and Waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State of New York. If any portion hereof is held invalid, it is agreed that such offending provision shall be severed and the balance shall continue in full legal force and effect. I understand and confirm that by signing this Release and Waiver that I have given up considerable legal rights and that I have signed this Release and Waiver freely, voluntarily, under no duress or threat of duress.
