Twenty-one years ago, after returning from the first of many combat deployments (and the first of two wars), Chiba Sensei asked me a question. It caught me off guard and I didn’t have an answer. I deflected with some excuse about needing time to think. He seemed a bit dejected with my non-answer, but didn’t persist. His question stayed with me over the years as I deployed again and again. What is the relationship between Aikido and combat?
