ramcalgary Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Should a teacher be liable if a student uses his training in a violent aggressive way. Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinninggumby Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Well a while back when I was just starting kung fu, my teacher had me sign a contract or statement before enrolling, saying that I would respect the art and never misuse it. I don't know just how legally valid this contract would be, but just my input there 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousOne Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Our school has a "no responsibilty and at your own risk" contract No sign no train 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul.

KickChick Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 ....out of dojo the school cannot be held responsible for how an individual uses their instruction, the student should be well aware of how and when to use their abilities.....ETHICS cannot be learned they must be cultivated. **edited because I mistyped....(school is not liable for what happens in dojo ... 3-ply contract to sign...lots of small writing ... lots of dotted lines to sign on .... so that lots of lawyers won't need to be called upon! _________________ 1st dan Black Belt Tae Kwon Do (ITF)/ CardioKickbox/Fitness Instructor [ This Message was edited by: KickChick on 2002-03-05 20:18 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKD_McGee Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Nope, thats why all certified schools have you sign a contract first. Its kind of like the Bar Tender being responsible for an auto accident thing. Do unto others, as they done to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karateka Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 We also signed a contract, but we have been taught that you are accountable for all your actions, within or without the dojo. What you do, you have to suffer the consequences in the end. Your teacher or guardian or parents should not have to take the fall for something that you have done.

Ti-Kwon-Leap Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I believe in personal responsibility, but in the US (unfortunately) you can sue for just about any reason regardless of laws that may or not be in place. Instructors have a responsibility to instill a sense of humanity in their students. IMHO Ti-Kwon-Leap"Annoying the ignorant since 1961" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
