Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions

Franklin Joseph Krav Maga Self Defence Bengaluru operates with strict discipline. To maintain the integrity and safety of the training environment, all practitioners must adhere to the following etiquette:

• Military Greeting: “Jai Hind” is the official greeting for all members, both in-class and off-class (including WhatsApp), to respect the military origins of Krav Maga.
• Addressing the Instructor: The respectful title “Guruji” (Teacher) must be used when addressing Specialist Mr. Franklin Joseph.
• Psychological Conditioning: Krav Maga training is not just about physical tactics. Your core personality, emotional control, and ego will be challenged to prepare you for the reality of a predator’s fury and wrath.
• Real-World Simulation: To accurately simulate the reality of violent crime, training may include exposure to harsh language, emotional stress, pain conditioning, and physical elements like safe slaps and non-lethal strikes to condition the mind and body.
• Combat Zone Awareness: The training floor is a combat zone. You must respect others, seek permission before initiating assault drills, maintain strict personal hygiene, and perform safety checks. Control your rage and respect the mistakes of your training partners.

By engaging with the academy, participating in training, or signing the admission form, you acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following terms unconditionally:

1. Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability

• Indemnification: I agree to indemnify and hold FJKM harmless against any claims of negligence, or liability for injury to myself or others arising out of my participation or the use of protective gear recommended by Franklin Joseph.
• Binding Agreement: I acknowledge that I am signing away substantial legal rights (including the right to sue) freely and voluntarily. This unconditional release of liability binds me, my successors, heirs, representatives, and assigns to the greatest extent allowed by law.
