Thank you all for reading.
Run away from this place and never look back. The environment you describe is all too common in the cult like schools. They use their hierarchy, inclusion and exclusion as power plays to manipulate people.

If you believe Aikido is valuable in your life - if you can even remember what you liked about it after all this, go find that again somewhere else. Think of all the time you put into that place as learning. If we aren't learning from the past then what are we all even doing?

Maybe try a different martial art. Not to say there are not bad schools in every art!
