Risks
of Injury
I understand that some of the exercises and
training methods to be taught involve the
application of pain compliance and, if I
choose to participate, will require me to
submit to various types of physical

cause me pain or injury. I understand that I
may choose not to participate or stop my
participation in any of these activities. I
further understand that many of the

discovered. I further acknowledge that in
consideration for this training, this
release shall not expire and shall be
considered effective in perpetuity.
I also understand that the instructors will
be teaching their classes in the safest

full paralysis, muscle tears, sprains and
strains, broken bones, eye injury, head

participate.
To obey the instructors, and their agents to
help minimize the risk of injury to myself
and others.

that the event coordinators reserve the
right to remove me without reimbursement at
their discretion if they feel that I am
acting in an unsafe, or abusive manner.
