I completely agree with Dave. Combat is about obfuscating human beings into objects to be destroyed at the first sign of danger. Modern combat merely involves invoking machines which blow bodies apart. Although I certainly do not begrudge Jason his chance to explore new and interesting ways to apply Aikido, I feel that intending to use Aikido for combat is like pouring A1 Steak Sauce on the Hope Diamond.
