You have to have some sense about these things. You don't want to be mixing it up with mentally ill people. Here is an example of that. The best thing to do with people who show up like that is to just tell them to leave. It's just irresponsible if you are running a serious gym to let someone walk in and start sparring without any signs that they can defend themselves and can exercise some sort of control. A waiver helps, but you have legitimate responsibilities as a trainer that a waiver won't cover.
In my opinion, if you school is reacting to that kind of stuff, it is probably not being run very well.

Tough guys can easy turn into cry babies once they smell a profit (read: lawsuit) in it!
I have to say that a waiver does hold some merit but will only get so far. in the end if someone throws enough money into it or a lawyer thinks they can sue, and win, then it will happen. they will drag you through the mud with defamation of character and your school will be ruined anyways. Best is to blow these types off. Head hunters is what I call them. Do not give them the opportunity.

Why do you assume that the challenger is going to "fight by the rules of grappling"..i.e. no elbows/blows to the back of the head/neck, no shots to the temple when you shoot, no eye gouging or throat grabs? Why do grapplers think that everyone they try to take down will abide by "the rules"?
What if, after you let him up, he just sucker punches you? ...Oh thats right..."the Rules" again. He would NEVER do THAT!

where was the term "rules" applied? and who said a grappler will abide by the rules when he is down? OH NOZZZ the deadly eye gouge and throat grabzzz...we all know thats the end for anyone if those are pulled out.Why do you assume that the challenger is going to "fight by the rules of grappling"..i.e. no elbows/blows to the back of the head/neck, no shots to the temple when you shoot, no eye gouging or throat grabs?

what if I choke him out to blackness? yeah he's going to be getting up real quick like to smack me around. What if I break his arm while i'm down there, is he going to sucker punch me with his good one? Good luck with that.

If you think that TCMA guys are honest, you must be out of your mind. Oneday I asked my teacher, "How did you fight that person?" My teacher said, "I faked him."
You
- kick low so you can punch high.
- attack left so you can attack right.
- drop guard to invite punch.
- raise guard to invite kick.
- give so you can take.
- pull so you can push.
- push so you can pull.
- drop your body weight on your opponent and pretend that you lost your balance.
- drop your elbow on your opponent's throat and pretend it's an accident.
- pretend to wet your pants and suddently jump in and eat your opponent alive.
- ...
TCMA guys are the least honest people on this planet.

So there we go. Attention. I have not taught a lot of people, but I have trained at least 5 people outside my immediate family. I charged a huge sum of money, and it was private. No one watching, no guests. A Park would not allow me to teach on a schedule of my own, but by the schedule set by nature. Cold, heat, rain, sleet, snow, whatever, would limit me. Not to mention the onlookers and skeptics that I did not need to deal with. And there would always be distractions. I would teach 5 to 6 days a week, 2 to 4 hours a day. I was paid to teach the system, not just have them train at something daily. Again, I charged a huge sum of money. When they showed up the first day, I would require 1500 bucks. If they missed a day or was regularly late, hell would be raised and possibly they would be sent packing. So, I got 3 months up front in advance. That would give them incentive to be prompt. I would require them to bring me 1500 bucks every 3 months. That kept them prompt. If they quite, my time would not have been wasted. A city park would have been dim mak for that.
