RECITALS

 1.

MAISON MUNZ exclusively owns the right to operate a proprietary coaching and body training method called "S.A.F.E." (SPINE ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL EMPOWERMENT), created and developed in 2004 by its Chairman and Founder, Mr. Alexandre MUNZ (the "Method").

The Method consists of tools used in the artistic, sports and scientific fields. It is based on a new perception of the human body and its movements and was developed in connection with other disciplines such as psychomotricity, biomechanics and neuroscience.

Initially created as a self-healing method against pathologies and migraines, the Method has become a basic tool for corporal performance meeting the needs of various communities: dance professionals, high-performance athletes, circus performers, martial arts practitioners, medical professionals, as well as the general public, i.e. people who do not dance or practice sports and elderly people, among others.

The Method is currently composed of four (4) separate training methods: MUNZ FLOOR, MUNZ BARRE, MUNZ RISE and MUNZ MOVE. MUNZ is a registered trademark (the “Trademark”). 

 

2.

The Participant, whose name is mentioned on the MAISON MUNZ cart, wishes to practice and learn some of the exercises based on the Method during 1 (one) session.
