Abstract:   (2149 Views)
Background and Aim: Sometimes, there is a lawsuit against the martial arts champion to claim bodily harm inflicted by them.  This injury can be inflicted in the clubs against the training opponent, or in the streets, to attack or defend against an invader as well as in official matches. The main question is civil liability of warriors for harm done to another.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive Study.
Ethical Considerations: All ethical considerations as well as authenticity of the texts have been observed.
Findings: In countries like the United States, there are many cases in the courts about Struggles leading to injury during sports. In Iranian courts, despite the consent of the participant in the competition or club exercises, this defense sometimes is not accepted and then coaches or warriors are liable to compensate. The present article examines the civil consequences of non – vital hand and foot blows in the streets or at the club during training with competition. It further suggests full insurance coverage of clubs and competitions.
Conclusion: If an athlete inflict a harm to others during the game, if it is unintentional, it does not results in responsibility; but if he intentionally inflict harms to others, according to article 32 of the Civil Liability Act, he will be responsible for compensation .
