This Disclaimer applies to the Rise & Strike Boxing website and program, operated by Flow Academy BJJ Riverside ("Flow Academy," "we," "us," or "our"). Please read it carefully.
Rise & Strike Boxing is a group fitness program. It is not medical care, physical therapy, or treatment of any medical condition, including Parkinson's disease. Nothing on this website or communicated by our coaches or staff is intended as, or should be taken as, medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The information we provide is general and educational. It is not a substitute for the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider. Always consult your doctor before beginning this or any new exercise program, especially if you have Parkinson's disease, a heart condition, a history of injury, balance concerns, or any other health condition. If your doctor advises you not to participate, please follow their guidance. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read or hear from us.
If you experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, faintness, or any other concerning symptom during activity, stop immediately and seek medical attention. In an emergency, call 911.
We make no claims that this program treats, cures, prevents, slows, reverses, or improves any disease or medical condition. Individual experiences vary.
Participation in physical activity carries inherent risks. These include, but are not limited to, muscle strains, sprains, falls, cardiovascular events, and other injuries. While Rise & Strike is a non-contact program — there is no sparring, and participants strike focus mitts and bags rather than people — the physical activity itself still involves risk.
By choosing to participate, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume all risks associated with physical activity in the program. You are responsible for exercising within your own limits, listening to your body, resting when needed, and stopping any activity that causes pain or discomfort. You represent that you are physically able to participate and, where appropriate, have your doctor's clearance to do so.
This Disclaimer is for informational purposes only. It is not a liability waiver, release, or participation agreement, and it does not replace one. Before participating in the Rise & Strike program in person, you will be asked to review and sign a separate waiver and release-of-liability agreement. That signed document — not this Disclaimer — governs the legal terms of your participation. Nothing here is a substitute for reading and signing that agreement.
We do not promise or guarantee any particular fitness, health, or other outcome from participating in the program. Results depend on many factors outside our control.
While we try to keep the information on this website accurate and current, we make no warranty as to its completeness, accuracy, or timeliness. Class schedules, pricing, and program details are subject to change.

[Attorney to confirm: sufficiency of assumption-of-risk language under California law, coordination with the signed in-person waiver and release, and any additional health-screening or informed-consent requirements appropriate for a Parkinson's-focused fitness program.]
