**DdlR** · Posted On: 10/02/2008 2:54pm

This is spun off by popular demand from another thread.

Post the legal disclaimers you'd want to see prominently displayed on the martial art/martial arts school/personality/movie/product/etc. of your choice. Bonus points for being funny while at least making an effort to use legalese.

Martial arts instructors are not liable for any claims on their part.

A Black Belt is not a certificate immunity.

We do not guarantee that your child will be any less whiny after achieving his black belt.
