I started Iaido almost 3 years ago with Dean Jolly Sensei, at the Mokuyobi Dojo (Shidokan) in the West Island of Montreal.

Since the beginning Iaido my focus has been about learning infinite details about the Katas, the meaning and logic behind every cut or turn, the technique basics and discovering the emotions that such a complex art can show us.

The best experience I had so far with Iaido is how it has challenged me to surpass mental and physical limits. It is an art that has shown me a great deal on humility, discipline and respect toward others.

Being part of a community of people who unconditionally share their knowledge and give their very best to others is something hard to find, and I am more than grateful to be part of it.
