Additionally, I agree not to use the knowledge that I gain to assist any other groups, including political, religious, or any other grouping not mentioned, to start offensive actions or assist in criminal activity. I may only use these methods and training to aid my immediate family. I will contact Nico van der Merwe for further assistance if I am unsure about any aspect. Finally, I confirm that I will not take photos, videos, or make any audio recordings before, during or after the course at any time
