I understand that these risks may result from my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others, or the condition of the premises or equipment. I further understand that ALL activities presented by SEKB trainers/staff, contractors, or agents, are completely voluntary and can be substituted for activities more agreeable to the Participant’s physical needs, or the Participant can opt out of them entirely.

*No one is permitted to engage in any contact sparring unless registered as an athlete or coach with USA Boxing.*
