GENERAL
What is the CNIC?
The Canadian National Iaido Championships is a tri-annual tournament inviting iaidoka from all over Canada to participate in friendly competition. Every 3 years, the event will be held in another part of Canada, rotating between East and West coast.
When will the CNIC be hosted in Toronto again?
Perhaps not again until 2019 so take this opportunity to come to the largest city in Canada!
Why is the event not going through Labour Day?
Unfortunately, the JCCC is closed on the Monday and will not be available to us. We hope that the extra day will make your return trip more comfortable following three days of intense training.
I am not a member of the Canadian Kendo Federation, may I still participate?
Non-Canadians are accepted for the seminar, but must be a member of a federation under the IKF. The tournament is only open to Canadian citizens, landed immigrants, and permanent residents.
I am coming from out of town. Is there a hotel nearby?
Yes. There is a hotel only 2 minutes by car, 10 minutes by foot from the JCCC. http://www.torontodonvalleyhotel.com/
Can I watch the event?
Yes. Off limit areas will be clearly marked. Please be respectful to the participants and organizers.
How can I check/update my registration?
Data from the registration form will be displayed in a google spreadsheet that can be found HERE. Please allow at least 24 hours for it to update. If you do not see your information, or would like to make a change, please contact info@mumonkai.ca.
How can I volunteer?
All Iaido students are strongly encouraged to participate. If an injury prevents you from competing, we would appreciate any help you can give. Please indicate your preference in the registration form.
What's the dressed code for the banquet?
The dress code will be business casual. No shorts, t-shirts, or flip-flops.
Can you explain the discrepancy in fees for Canadians vs non-Canadians?
The average fee per day decreases as you participate in more days. The minimum per-day fee is $50; hence 3-days at $150. However, non-Canadians are not permitted to participate in the Tournament, therefore their 2-day fee is $100.

Sword
Only proper iaito and shinken are permitted. The sword should be inspected prior to the match to ensure the mekugi is properly fitted and not loose.
Attire
An Iaido or Kendo gi and hakama shall be worn. The hakama and gi should be the same colour of black, dark blue, or white. Proper name tags are required and should be attached to the left chest. No jewellery is permitted.
The back, front and sides of the gi should not bulge, nor should the back of the neckline stick out. The neckline at the front should meet close to the base of the throat and should not loosen or come apart during practice. T-shirts may not be worn but an under-gi (juban) is permissable. The gi must be long enough to cover the leg at the side of the hakama.
Tabi are only allowed under unusual circumstances and with permission of the Referee Director. The obi usually matches the colour of the hakama. Sageo must be used at all Dan levels of competition.
