Ontario

So, in many martial arts there are tests to check your progress as you develop your skills.  Iaido and Jodo are some of those arts.  Every few years it comes time to test, and this year was one of those years.  Given that we have to test in Ontario to be able to test both arts it was an excellent opportunity to make a trip out of it.

We headed to Guelph where we stayed with Taylor Sensei.  We were able to train twice daily, which was an amazing opportunity for us, and we were able to squeeze in a bit of site seeing.  It was an amazing trip all around.  We met some great people, did some excellent training and were able to challenge our exams.  I was testing in Iaido and Jodo and managed to pass my Jodo exam.  My Iaido exam, well, there's always next time...

I'm behind on my life so I'll let the photos do the talking...

We went to Elora...

Then we went for an awesome hike...

And then we went to Niagra!
