Defining Combat

Conflict between opposing forces. This is the most universal definition of combat. The concept of combat is that of opposition, resistance, competition, discord. And in many instances of combat, this is the reality. Most conflict is born of animosity, anger, fear, hate, or another negative emotion.

But there is another type of combat, that of warriors, those trained in the art of combat not just the skills. They may begin the fight out of emotion, but once they engage the opponent, emotion disappears. It is replaced by total concentration and dedication to a single ideal—victory.
