Great training with Sensei Reid and his Ely’s Ford warriors at the Marine Corps Museum.
Big thanks to Col. Reid for his personally guided tour of the museum telling the story of his beloved Corps. Looking forward to more training opportunities in the future!

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?
