First and Foremost: Be Safe

This website, the programs and instructions it contains, and any suggestions or ideas here, are not for everyone. Use at your own risk, and only after approval from an appropriate health-care provider. Even after you’re declared fit enough, old enough, young enough, and wise enough to participate with this website, your participation means that:

You indemnify CannonFist.com, its owners, and all its authors, administrators, associates, and affiliates from all legal, financial, and any other kind of harm.
You promise to be careful with yourself and anyone that works with you, and by so doing, you declare that you will be responsible for all health and harm that comes to you and/or those that work with you.
You guarantee that you will only use your knowledge to increase the health and safety of yourself and others.

You claim sole responsibility for you and your actions. Pretty simple, eh?

Guaranteed

I guarantee your satisfaction with every service and product. You get 30 days to explore your purchase.

I want your experience to be better than good.

Because you should feel Urgent Optimism to continue pursuing excellence in martial and healing arts, if for any reason personal or professional, you’re not satisfied with or even if you’re not quite ready to enjoy working through your membership, product, or service…

You’re welcome to contact me and I’ll make it right for you. The technical caveat is: please contact me in person or using this contact form within 30 days of purchase.

Because memberships and online products are available instantly (more than less), please check your email. You’ll get a confirmation email right away to indicate your order success.

Your risk is nil because your experience is guaranteed excellent. What else is there?

Etiquette is Essential

Because we practice martial arts as a way to achieve higher levels of physical, emotional, and mental proficiencies, etiquette is essential.

Privacy Policy Statement

To make this notice easy to find, it’s available on the homepage and wherever personally identifiable information may be requested. If you have any questions about the privacy policy of CannonFist.com, then Contact Me.

Your information is sacred. CannonFist.com sends no spam. When you sign up for CannonFist.com, your email (or other personal information) is only used to update you about this site.

We’re committed to child privacy. Some material on this site is not suited for children who lack adult supervision, so children under 18 are not allowed to access our services without adult supervision. Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, CannonFist.com will never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18, and no part of this website is structured to attract anyone under 18.

Collection of Personal Information: when visiting CannonFist.com, the IP address used to get access to the site will be logged along with the dates and times of access. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information for internal use. Only comment authors are tied to an IP address (for administrative purposes, not for public display); otherwise, recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Links to third-party Websites: links on this site are for your use and reference. CannonFist.com is not responsible for the privacy policies on other websites. You should be aware that privacy policies of other sites may differ from privacy policies of this site. See Terms Of Use for more information about our use of Linked Sites.

Changes to this Privacy Policy Statement: the contents of this statement may be altered at any time, at our discretion.

Terms of Service

By now, you know that your satisfaction is guaranteed. Now the technical issues.

When you buy online services or products, you receive instant access to online resources. We send an email right away, after your purchase, with detailed information about your purchase. Look for it.
When you purchase a live activity — classes or workshops — we send an email right away detailing the location(s) and time(s) of your activity. Be there. While our guarantee is good until the activity, we offer no refunds if you fail to show up.

Again: your purchase is guaranteed. If you do not find great satisfaction with your experience of our products and services, please contact me and I’ll make it right.

Keep this in mind: (it’s good news) I make no claims to be fair to anyone’s egotistical desires. Some of this work is tough. It is tough physically, emotionally, and mentally: and that’s why it’s awesome.

The Cannon Fist is about Real Martial Arts and Real Healing Arts — as such, please do not buy or get involved unless you’re ready to do some work. Real work in excellent martial arts is fun and rewarding.

The truth is — this work is not for everyone. Some minds can’t handle things like meditation or Qigong; others can’t handle combat drills like intensified push-hands.

These Terms of Service are subject to change.

Read and Write Manifesto

The following key pieces concern daily reading, for normal, kind, careful people.

The trust of readers and the community is important for me. I present honest opinions and experiences, and I maintain strict journalistic standards.
I treat others with respect. I may attack ideas and movements, but not people or beings. I expect the same treatment, and I expect readers and contributors to behave the same way.
Material relationships, policies, and business practices are clearly disclosed. Readers will know the difference between editorial, advertorial, and advertising, should we choose to have it. If I do sponsored or paid posts, they’ll be clearly marked. Any advertising or marketing collaborations used by me are professional and honest. Even ads, that I put on other networks, take users right where you’d expect them to, never to any weird links or shifty pages.
I do my best to support various intellectual property rights. I often provide links, credits, and cite sources of inspiration. Currently, I own the words on this site. They are copyrighted. I reserve the right to switch over to other licensing options, including a creative commons license, an uncopyright, or a copyleft.
