Inherent Risk

Experienced instructors provide guidance and supervision over all activities. No activity is performed without such supervision by an accredited instructor. Additionally, sound and comprehensive guidelines for instructors are provided.

Students are required by the Student Code of Conduct to declare injuries or health issues and also not to undertake any activity they feel uncomfortable attempting.

However, Aikido is a martial art, with considerable physical interaction with other people in energetic and dynamic movement. As such there is inherent risk of injury. Whilst experience shows that the occurrence of injuries is infrequent, they nevertheless occur.

The student explicitly assumes the inherent risk of injury by signing the indemnity provided and by involvement in training activity.
