Terms & Conditions

1. About Shinkudo India

Jwala Temple of Martial Art / Shinkudo India provides information about martial arts training, admissions, seminars, events, grading activities and announcements. Shinkudo India is the official representative in India of the Bujin Shinkudoryu International Association.

Website content is intended for general information. Publishing information about a class, event or programme does not by itself guarantee availability, admission or participation.

2. Training Participation and Safety

Martial arts training involves physical activity and may carry inherent risks, including falls, strains, bruises and other injuries. Participants must consider their own health and physical condition before taking part.

• Participants should disclose relevant health concerns or limitations to the responsible instructor before training.
• Participants should seek appropriate medical advice if they are unsure whether they are fit to take part.
• All participants must follow instructor directions, safety procedures, class rules and appropriate protective-equipment requirements.
• Participants must stop and inform an instructor if they feel unwell, experience pain or believe an activity is unsafe.

Participation is undertaken with an understanding of the ordinary risks associated with physical training. Nothing in these terms excludes liability where such exclusion is prohibited by applicable law.

3. Minors and Guardian Responsibility

Children and minors may participate only through the academy's admission procedures and with the required parent or legal guardian involvement and consent. Parents or guardians are responsible for providing accurate enrolment information, communicating relevant health or safety concerns, and ensuring that agreed drop-off, collection and supervision arrangements are followed.

The academy may require a parent or guardian to remain present or otherwise supervise a minor where appropriate to the child's age, activity or safety requirements.

4. Admissions, Trial Classes and Payments

Admission and trial-class enquiries may be submitted through our Contact Us page or Admissions page. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance, a reserved place or a confirmed class schedule. Any applicable admission requirements, fees or arrangements should be confirmed directly with the academy.

This website does not collect online payments through its admission or general enquiry forms. Do not submit card details, banking credentials or payment authentication information through those forms.

5. Conduct, Discipline and Refusal of Participation

Participants are expected to behave respectfully towards instructors, fellow students, parents, visitors and event organisers. Bullying, harassment, deliberate unsafe conduct, intimidation, damage to property and refusal to follow reasonable safety instructions are not acceptable.

To protect participants and maintain a safe training environment, the academy may issue warnings, restrict an activity, refuse participation or suspend a participant where reasonably necessary for safety, discipline or compliance with applicable rules. Any such decision remains subject to applicable law and relevant contractual obligations.

6. Photographs, Videos and Media

Training sessions, seminars, demonstrations, competitions and other events may be photographed or recorded. Identifiable photographs or videos may be used for event documentation, website news or promotional communication where appropriate consent has been obtained.

For minors, the required parent or legal guardian consent must be obtained before identifiable images or videos are published for these purposes. If you have a concern about published media, contact us at jwala@shinkudoindia.com with details of the relevant material.

7. Training Standards, Belts and Grading

Training programmes, techniques, belt progression, examinations and grading activities are subject to the applicable standards, requirements and decisions of the relevant instructors and the Bujin Shinkudoryu International Association.

Attendance or completion of a particular training period does not automatically guarantee eligibility for, or award of, a belt, certificate, rank or qualification. Grading decisions depend on the applicable requirements and assessment process.

8. Website Content and External Links

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information useful and up to date. However, class schedules, event details, announcements, photographs and other content may change. Website information is provided for general informational purposes and should be confirmed with us where a current detail is important to your decision.

This website may link to external resources, including shinkudo.su. External websites are not controlled by us. We are not responsible for their content, availability, security, privacy practices or terms. Visiting an external website is at your discretion, and you should review its applicable policies.

Unless expressly authorised, website text, graphics, photographs, logos and other materials may not be copied, republished or used commercially in a way that infringes applicable intellectual property rights.

9. Liability and Limitations

To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, we are not responsible for losses arising from temporary website unavailability, technical interruptions, reliance on general website information without confirmation, or third-party websites and services beyond our reasonable control.

These terms do not exclude or restrict liability where Indian law does not permit such exclusion or restriction, including any applicable liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, or other non-excludable rights and obligations. Nothing here removes any statutory rights available to users or participants.

Participants remain responsible for following safety instructions and accurately communicating relevant health or safety information. This does not remove any duty of care or legal responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10. Governing Law and Contact

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of India. Subject to applicable law and the jurisdiction of competent courts, any dispute relating to the website or these terms will be handled under the applicable Indian legal framework.
