This waiver is required by our insurance company. However, you should know that Guard Up staff is trained extensively in running safe, entertaining, and educational classes and events. Our safety record is exceptional. Our staff works hard to keep participants safe and the swordplay at an acceptable level, but we acknowledge that accidents happen (someone may get hit in the head with a foam sword, trips and falls are common, collisions can happen from excited kids who aren’t looking where they are going, etc.). We ask that you work with us to help embrace the Guard Up environment and activities with the understanding that participants who are active are at a higher risk of injury than those who are not.
