Martial arts personal photo's thread?

[Henry]

here some pics i got taken recently whilst doing some weapons training on the back porch by the river. anyone else want to share some of their training moments? thought it'd be a cool idea for a social thread,rather than just tehcnique styles etc.

2008 International Lei Tai Championship. I'm the one in yellow (weird color scheme if you as me...).

Nice knee seizing there Troy!

Shuai Jiao rules baby!

More from the same tourney. Different opponent, but I'm still the one in yellow.

Great photos guys.

Bailiwen, great job with phoenix eats ashes, thats closer than I'll ever get to chin to toe I'm afraid.

Cerebus, I'm not sure why the kuoshu tourney in Btown insists on dressing the lei tai competitors like smurfs but its the best open format around for CMA full contact. Good job for getting in there.
