1. I hereby RELEASE AND DISCHARGE Lia Suzuki, Aikido Kenkyukai Los Angeles, Aikido Kenkyukai International, USA, their owners, agents, employees and instructors (collectively referred to as “Released Parties”), from any and all liability, claims, demands or causes of action that I may hereafter have for injuries and damages arising out of my participation in martial arts activities, including but not limited to losses CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES.
2. I further agree that I WILL NOT SUE OR MAKE A CLAIM against the Released Parties for damages or other losses sustained as a result of my participation in the Martial Arts. I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE RELEASED PARTIES HARMLESS from all claims, judgments and costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any action brought as a result of my participation in the Martial Arts.
3. I understand and acknowledge that the Martial Arts have inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction or expertise can eliminate and EXPRESSLY AND VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH SUSTAINED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THE MARTIAL ARTS WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES.
4. I hereby expressly recognize that this Agreement and Release of Liability is a contract pursuant to which I have released any and all claims against the Released Parties resulting from my participation in the Martial Arts including and an all claim caused by the negligence of the Released Parties.

7. I was advised and recognize that instruction in the Martial Arts involves strenuous exercise and personal body contact with the inherent risk of injury, including, but not limited to, pulled muscles, dislocated joints, and broken bones, or even albeit rare, spinal and/or head injuries that cannot be eliminated.
8. I was also advised that in accordance with the law, the Released Parties do not exclude individuals with medical conditions that do not pose a medically recognized threat to the health or safety of other students in the normal course of training. I understand that there are some unavoidable circumstances where these conditions may require special caution on my part to minimize danger to others, or myself and I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to act accordingly.
9. In particular, I understand that some students may be infected with diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis that can be transmitted by exchanges of blood or other bodily fluids and that I may be training with them. I acknowledge that I have read and will follow the Released Parties’ procedures (see, below, Blood Borne Pathogen Policy) for dealing with injuries to others, or myself that present opportunities for exposure to blood or body fluids.
10. I understand that the Martial Arts is an educational system. For the safety of myself and other members, I will practice in a considerate and conscientious manner and strictly follow all rules established by the Released Parties. Should I break any of these rules, I understand that it is the decision of the head instructor whether I may continue training. I will abide by that decision.
