Some students doing free practice in iai. That's Jacques Van Alsenoy
from Belgium helping the beginner with his chinagui. In the foreground
is Mae Cao, winner of the "fighting spirit" award at the Ontario Open Iaido
tournament earlier this spring. |

Stephen Cruise from Etobicoke looks on during a lull in the action.

Here's Patrice Williams being an island of calm as Jeff Broderick takes
a good swing at his head. |

I'm sure this photo didn't come from the same sequence, but at least
Patrice wasn't decked on that move either. |

Peter Boylan (facing) and Kenji Tsukata both trained in Japan but met
each other in Guelph. |
