SECTION I. |
All textbooks, manuals, videos, papers and Web Sites written or produced by the Maryland Professional Karate Association, Inc. (M.P.K.A.)/Yin-Chuan are designed and intended for the exclusive use of M.P.K.A./Yin-Chuan instructors, and students and are not intended for the general public use. All M.P.K.A./Yin-Chuan students are trained under professional instructors, that are in turn, trained and developed through the M.P.K.A./Yin-Chuan system. These instructors/students are taught when to and when not to use self-defense. |
SECTION II. |
The first aid and any emergency medical care described in this manual is to be used as a guideline to educate the student/instructor that there are steps that are available to be taken in emergency situations when qualified medical assistance is unavailable at the time of injury. Since many injuries to the martial artists are minor (nosebleeds, minor cuts, etc.), reasonable care can be performed on the dojo floor to assist the injured. For the serious injuries or when in doubt, always seek the professional guidance of a qualified physician, hospital, or emergency care unit. For extreme emergencies, make the patient as comfortable and dial 911. |
SECTION III. |
Before starting any diet or exercise program it is best to do so with the guidance of your physician, especially if you are overweight, have any health problems, or have not exercised over a period of time. |
