How do I deal with people trying to beat me up?

Classes should be open only to those who are enrolled and have paid the appropriate fees, so they should be part of the class before you allow them to spar.

Also, sparring partners should be chosen from similar ability levels.

Anyone walking into a dojo that insists on sparring with the sensei should be asked to leave.

I am assuming that your school is not simply to cater to the desires of egotistical individuals that are trying to prove their machismo and anyone that walks into your school for no reason other than to fight the instructor is doing just that.

If, however, someone that is genuinely at the same level of ability as you are wishes to challenge you, it should be done with and impartial referee who is sufficiently competent to judge the match and should not be done on demand.

Can't say I beleive what you are saying.

You are opening yourself up to a really bad lawsuit.

First don't just go araound sparring full contact with anyone who walks in. Thast is just plain stupid.

Second don't even think a liability waiver is going to get you off in a lawsuit.

so what should you do?

1. don't open your doors to full contact sparring to everyone.

2. in a business you need some type of compensation. i.e. money to pay for the insurance (assuming you have it) cause if you don't you been hit one time too hard.

3. let someone else take the liability for injury if doing full contact.

4. if they walk in and want to spar sign up classes and let them spar each other.

I consider it's k for them to return in for open sparring. When I was once boxing we might move in all places watching for first-rate sparring. If they arrive in on a constant groundwork you then ask them for dues. Also recall you're in trade to become profitable. Tell them that it's satisfactory to return once in a while without cost sparring. Just ensure they understand that it's not more than say three instances a month. Also do not be afraid to invite them to say your gymnasium as a constant location to instruct to all their peers. The proprietor of the dojo I move to regularly we could individuals understand that he has rent repayments and utilities and the entire different bills to hide. Another factor you must certainly be watching at is signing your nice opponents to contracts. A well instructor must get 10%. If you're additionally handling the opponents 20%.

for your business, you should first tell them to sign up for classes, then after you have finished teaching them then you can spar with them.

Punch them in the nuts and run Forrest run!!! If it's a girl, LOL!!!
