This seems to be an un-official Aikido dojo as it's held at a residence and they only charge you fees when you do not show up. My current thoughts are that I can authorize them to practice this medicine on condition that they must first advise of treatment types before administering same.

If I were you, I'd find a real class. That sounds a little too strange. No one can practice on you if you don't want them to. Plus, if it's an akido class, what is the deal with accupuncture? Sounds fishy to me.

I would stay away from it. Sounds fishy to me. I've been in martial arts over 9 years and have never heard of such a thing. If you want to take un-official Aikido lessons from them, that's fine, but I would not agree to any acupuncture or Chinese medicine treatments. Although the pressure points used in acupuncture ARE the same as the ones used in martial arts, this just seems like some sort of thing to get "guinea pigs" for someone to practice on.

Hmmmmm? Sounds weird to me.......Akido is Japanese while acupuncture is Chinese? Nothing wrong with taking medicine or having acupuncture done ...have had it several times for various reasons for about 25 years now. During training at the dojo you might experience large amounts of muscle strains and aches that this type of treatment will be useful to overcome the soreness and swelling too. I would ask some questions about why but wouldn't be too afraid of this scenario if I were you?

Get away from that school. If they have you signing a release so they can use you as a practice pin cushion its a bad idea.

If they want you to sign a release form, then there's something not legit about their medical practice. I would stay away.
