If the challenge was a "dojo busting" thing, then I might consider myself obligated to defend the integrity of the dojo. Barring the success of verbal deescalation. Bowing to the challengers ego etc. having no effect. If the challenger had the intent to harm my dojo mates then I wouldn't hesitate and I would not be nice about it. If the challenge was a "lets see" kind of thing then,no, never. I'm pretty secure about what my aikido can do and how it can be applied. I don't train to fight so there would be no need to "step into the ring".

Cheers,

Russ
