Copyright and DMCA Policy
This Copyright and DMCA Policy (“Policy”) applies to the MartialArts.Training website (“Website”) and the online training programs, videos, written materials, accounts, communities, submissions, communications, and related products and services made available through it (collectively, the “Services”).
MAT Martial Arts Training (“MAT”) is a DBA of Dragons Warriors LLC, a Florida limited liability company. In this Policy, “MAT,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MAT Martial Arts Training and its legal operator, Dragons Warriors LLC.
This Policy explains how we address reports of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), including copyright-infringement notifications and counter-notifications.
This Policy forms part of our Terms of Service and should be read together with our Acceptable Use Policy.
Respect for intellectual property
MAT respects the intellectual-property rights of instructors, students, creators, copyright owners, licensors, and third parties. Users of the Services must do the same.
You may not upload, publish, share, distribute, reproduce, display, transmit, sell, or otherwise use copyrighted material through the Services unless you own the applicable rights, have permission from the copyright owner, or the use is otherwise authorized by law.
MAT may remove or restrict access to material that we reasonably believe infringes copyright or violates our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
Before submitting a copyright complaint
Before submitting a copyright-infringement notification, confirm that:
- You own the copyright involved or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- The material identified is actually available through the Services.
- You have considered whether the use may be authorized by a license, permission, applicable exception, or limitation on copyright.
- Your complaint contains accurate and complete information.
Fair use is a fact-specific legal doctrine. Uses for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research may qualify as fair use depending on the circumstances, but those categories do not automatically make every use lawful.
Copyright ownership can also differ from possession of a copy or appearance in a photograph or video. Being depicted in material does not necessarily mean that you own its copyright.
If you are uncertain whether you own the applicable rights or whether a use is infringing, consider obtaining advice from a qualified attorney before submitting a notification.
Copyright-infringement notifications
If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one and believe that material available through the Services infringes an exclusive right protected by copyright, you may submit a written copyright-infringement notification (“Notification”).
To be effective under the DMCA, the Notification must include substantially all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. Typing your full legal name may constitute an electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Services are covered by one Notification, a representative list of those works.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that you request be removed or restricted.
- Information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material, such as the exact URL of each applicable page and a clear description of where the material appears.
- Your name and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you, including your mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the Notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please send the Notification to:

Subject: DMCA Copyright Notification
Providing direct URLs and a clear description of the allegedly infringing material will help us locate and review it. General statements concerning an entire website, account, brand, or category of content may not provide enough information to identify the specific material at issue.
Incomplete or invalid notifications
A Notification that does not substantially satisfy the applicable DMCA requirements may be ineffective. We may request additional information reasonably necessary to evaluate or complete the Notification.
Submitting a Notification does not guarantee that material will be removed. We may determine that the Notification is incomplete, does not identify material available through the Services, concerns a matter other than copyright, or otherwise does not require action under the DMCA.
Reports concerning trademarks, privacy, impersonation, defamation, personal safety, or other non-copyright matters should be clearly identified and may be handled under our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law rather than through the DMCA process.
Our response to a Notification
When we receive a substantially compliant Notification, we may investigate the report and remove or disable access to the identified material when appropriate.
When removal or restriction occurs under the DMCA notice-and-takedown process, we will take reasonable steps to notify the user who provided the affected material. The notification may include a copy of the copyright owner’s Notification and information about the counter-notification process.
We may also preserve relevant records, request information from the affected parties, restrict features, suspend access, or take other action consistent with our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, and applicable law.
Removal of material does not constitute a final legal determination that the material infringes copyright. MAT is not a court and does not adjudicate ownership or infringement disputes.
Counter-notifications
If material you provided was removed or access was disabled following a DMCA Notification and you believe that the material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification (“Counter-Notification”).
A Counter-Notification should not be submitted merely because you disagree with the copyright owner or want the material restored. Submitting a Counter-Notification has legal consequences and may result in your contact information being disclosed to the person who submitted the original Notification.
To be effective under the DMCA, a Counter-Notification must include substantially all of the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature. Typing your full legal name may constitute an electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled.
- The location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled, such as the applicable URL.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
- Your full legal name, mailing address, and telephone number.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Dragons Warriors LLC may be found.
- A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original Notification or an agent of that person.
Please send the Counter-Notification to:

Subject: DMCA Counter-Notification
Response to a Counter-Notification
When we receive a substantially compliant Counter-Notification, we may provide a copy to the person who submitted the original Notification and inform that person that we may restore the material or cease restricting access to it.
Where the restoration procedure under Section 512(g) of the DMCA applies, we will restore the material or cease disabling access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the compliant Counter-Notification unless our designated agent first receives notice that the person who submitted the original Notification has filed a court action seeking an order to restrain the user from engaging in the alleged infringement.
If we receive notice of such a court action within the applicable period, the material may remain unavailable while the dispute is addressed by the parties or the court.
Restoration of material does not constitute a determination by MAT that the material is lawful, non-infringing, or authorized. We may continue to restrict material for another valid reason, including a violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
Repeat infringers
MAT has adopted a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users and account holders who are repeat copyright infringers.
When determining whether action is appropriate, we may consider valid infringement reports, acknowledgments or findings of infringement, counter-notifications, retractions, court decisions, the nature and seriousness of the conduct, and other relevant circumstances.
We may also suspend or terminate an account following a single serious infringement, deliberate theft or redistribution of training content, circumvention of access controls, or other substantial violation of our intellectual-property rights or those of another party.
A repeat-infringer policy does not require us to ignore legitimate counter-notifications, retractions, mistakes, or other relevant evidence.
Misrepresentations and misuse of the process
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification, may be liable for resulting damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
You may not use the Notification or Counter-Notification process to harass another person, suppress lawful criticism, interfere with legitimate competition, obtain personal information improperly, make a retaliatory complaint, or knowingly submit false or misleading information.
We may reject, restrict, or take appropriate action concerning notices that are fraudulent, abusive, materially misleading, repeatedly deficient, or unrelated to copyright infringement.
Disclosure of information
Information submitted in a Notification or Counter-Notification may be shared with:
- The person who submitted or controls the affected material.
- The person who submitted the original Notification.
- Our service providers, hosting providers, payment providers, platform operators, contractors, or legal advisers when reasonably necessary.
- Courts, government authorities, or other parties when required or permitted by applicable law.
This information may include your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, signature, allegations, statements, and supporting documentation.
If you do not want your personal contact information disclosed directly, you may authorize a qualified attorney or another authorized agent to submit the Notification on your behalf. MAT cannot guarantee that information submitted through a legal process will remain confidential.
Personal information associated with copyright reports will otherwise be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Other actions and remedies
This Policy does not limit MAT’s ability to address suspected infringement, unauthorized account sharing, copying, recording, redistribution, circumvention of access controls, misuse of instructor identities, or other intellectual-property violations under our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, contracts, platform rules, or applicable law.
We may pursue contractual, technical, administrative, or legal remedies independently of the DMCA process when appropriate.
Nothing in this Policy prevents a copyright owner or user from consulting an attorney, pursuing a court action, using the Copyright Claims Board when eligible, or exercising another remedy available under applicable law.
No legal advice
This Policy provides general information about MAT’s copyright-reporting process. It does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Copyright disputes can involve complex questions concerning ownership, licenses, fair use, jurisdiction, and other legal issues. You are responsible for obtaining your own legal advice when appropriate.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when our Services, business practices, reporting procedures, or legal obligations change.
When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date below. Material changes may also be communicated through the Website, by email, or through another appropriate method.
