I was introduced to Iaido at Rai Un Kai dojo; my teachers are Eric Tribe Sensei and Doug Martin Sensei.

Iaido is an amazing journey that, I find, brings together your mind, body and spirit. Currently, I am focusing on the concept of perfection through kikentai ichi and to be able to tell a story through movement and energy.

Community and personal growth is much of what I have achieved through Iaido. On the surface, Iaido appears to be about perfecting the use of a sword; however, below the surface, you can see its evolution into something whose intent now is to also bring people together. It is certainly one part individual and one part community.

I am very passionate about the way of the sword. I am also a student of Zen Nippon Kendo Renmei Jodo (Rai Un Kai dojo) and lead a study group in Yagyu Shinkage Ryu Kenjutsu at Mushin Kenjutsu dojo (a Keiko-Kai of Tokumeikan under the direction of Douglas Tong Sensei).
