Digital waivers for martial arts & combat sports
MMA, boxing, jiu-jitsu, karate, taekwondo — get every student signed with proper risk disclosure before they step on the mat.
Sound familiar?
Combat sports = higher injury risk
Martial arts have inherently higher injury risk than typical fitness. You need bulletproof waivers, not generic gym forms.
Youth programs need guardian consent
Kids' karate and jiu-jitsu classes mean parents need to sign. Paper forms get lost in backpacks and never come back.
Trial classes need fast onboarding
Walk-in trial students need to sign before their first class. A 10-minute paper form kills the excitement.
How WaiverDrop helps
Combat sports-specific template
Covers striking, grappling, and sparring risks. Includes health disclosure, experience level capture, and protective equipment requirements.
Guardian signing for youth programs
Parents sign for their kids digitally. No more chasing down paper forms or turning away students at the door.
Trial class ready in 60 seconds
Walk-in students scan a QR code, sign on their phone, and they're on the mat. No killing the momentum with paperwork.
Track experience levels
Capture each student's martial arts experience level at sign-up so instructors know who needs extra attention.
Waiver expiration for seasonal re-signing
Set waivers to expire after a set number of days. Students are automatically prompted to re-sign — ideal for annual renewals and belt-testing re-authorization.
Auto-flag for health conditions
Set rules to automatically flag waivers when students disclose injuries, heart conditions, or other health factors. Instructors see flagged waivers before class.
Three steps. That's it.
