Complete your waiver online

This single form covers both your liability waiver and emergency contact information. It's secure, takes about two minutes, and you can complete it right now — before you ever set foot on the mat.

Signed digitally, stored securely, and on file before you arrive — no need to bring anything with you.

Not sure what this covers?

The waiver acknowledges the physical risks of HEMA training and outlines what SDS and its instructors are responsible for. Our full Code of Conduct explains the culture and standards behind it.

Training under 18?

Students under 18 need a parent or legal guardian to complete the waiver on their behalf. The online form includes a guardian consent step — please have a parent or guardian fill it out with you, or bring a signed printed copy to your first class.

When should I do this? Anytime before your first class — most students complete it online right after reserving a free trial. If you'd rather not do it in advance, that's fine too: just arrive 10 minutes early to your first practice and an instructor will get you set up with a printed copy on-site.
