It's 3:45 and competition has wrapped up for the day at the 2011 International Hap Ki Do Canadian Open tournament at the Essar Centre.

Awards are being presented for high fall, long fall, precision kicking, group competition, breaking and partner self-defence competitions.

Even after more than six hours of strong competition competitors and their families are excited about the prospect of seeing the Escrimador perform again - this time with fire.

Hap Ki Do champion Mariah Moore will be among the demonstrations to be presented beginning about 6 p.m. today.

Check the SooToday.com gallery below for photos of her incredible demonstrations with burning weapons.
