Terms & Conditions

01 Acceptance of terms

By accessing this website, submitting a booking enquiry, or attending any 52 Flow State session, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use this website or book a session.

02 Our services

52 Flow State is the premium training experience from 52 Blocks Self-Defense Academy. It combines practical self-defense with full-body sensitivity, movement and composure under pressure, delivered as:

• Corporate events and retreats
• Executive private training
• Luxury home training

Training is currently delivered by appointment at a location agreed with the client. Programme content is tailored to the individual, group, or organisation being trained and may vary in structure and intensity accordingly.

03 Eligibility & age requirements

Our training is intended for adults. Where we agree in advance to train a participant under the age of 18, a parent or legal guardian must consent to their participation and complete and sign any required waiver on the minor's behalf. A parent or guardian may be required to remain on-site during sessions involving minors, at our discretion.

By booking on behalf of a minor, you confirm that you are their parent or legal guardian, or that you hold the authority to consent to their participation.

04 Booking & payment

Sessions are currently booked by appointment via our website enquiry form, phone, or email. Pricing for corporate events and retreats, executive private training and home sessions will be quoted and confirmed directly with you prior to booking.

Payment terms (methods accepted, timing, and any deposit requirements) will be communicated at the time of booking. We reserve the right to update pricing at any time; confirmed bookings will honour the price agreed at the time of confirmation.

05 Cancellations & rescheduling

We understand that plans change. Please provide as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows may affect your ability to book future sessions. Specific notice periods and any applicable fees will be confirmed at the time of booking.

06 Assumption of risk

Martial arts, self-defense training, and physical fitness activities carry inherent risk of injury, including but not limited to sprains, strains, bruising, and — in rare cases — more serious injury. Techniques taught may include striking, grappling, contact drills, and scenario-based training involving physical contact with an instructor or fellow participants.

By participating in any 52 Flow State session, you acknowledge and voluntarily accept these risks. You confirm that you are physically able to participate and that you are not aware of any medical condition that would make participation unsafe, except as disclosed to us in advance.

07 Liability waiver

Before participating in in-person training, all participants (or their parent/guardian, if a minor) will be required to review and sign a separate liability waiver and release of claims. That signed waiver forms part of your agreement with us and should be read alongside these Terms & Conditions.

If there is any conflict between these Terms & Conditions and a signed waiver, the terms of the signed waiver will take precedence for the matters it covers.

08 Health & medical disclaimer

52 Flow State is not a medical provider. Nothing in our training, communications, or website should be taken as medical advice. We strongly recommend consulting a physician before beginning any new physical training programme, particularly if you have a pre-existing injury, medical condition, or are pregnant.

Please disclose any relevant health information to your instructor before training so that sessions can be adapted appropriately.

09 Code of conduct

All participants are expected to treat instructors and fellow participants with respect, follow instructor guidance during training, and refrain from any conduct that endangers themselves or others. We reserve the right to refuse service or end a session for any participant whose conduct we consider unsafe, disruptive, or disrespectful, without refund.

10 Intellectual property

All curriculum, training methodology, branding, names ("52 Flow State," "52 Blocks Self-Defense Academy," and associated names), and content on this website are the property of 52 Flow State, 52 Blocks Self-Defense Academy or its founder and may not be copied, reproduced, or used commercially without prior written permission.

11 Photography & media

We may photograph or film training sessions for marketing, educational, and promotional purposes, including use on our website and social media. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please let your instructor know in advance, and we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request.

12 Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 52 Flow State, 52 Blocks Self-Defense Academy, its founder, instructors, and staff shall not be liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in training, except where such injury, loss, or damage results directly from our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

This limitation applies in addition to, and does not replace, any signed liability waiver executed prior to training.

13 Governing law

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes arising from these terms or from training services will be subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.

14 Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our website or services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
