This was a studio session at America's Best Defense in North Easton, MA. I shot pictures of three instructors and some of the advanced students in action. This is a mix of self-defense moves and karate jumps and kicks. Thanks for a fun photo shoot to all who were involved! Pictures are here.

Congrats to Payal and Mohit

A kick to the head...

This was another Krav Maga brown belt test. This class ranged in age from mid-twenties to over 60; all of them tough and well-trained students! The test involves a review of about 18 months of Krav Maga curriculum, including self-defense tactics, about 6 different combinations of kicks and punches and a couple of tests of endurance. You have to run a mile and complete 75 push-ups; 50 of them non-stop. After this, they sparred for about 30 minutes, changing partners every minute or so. You sleep well at night after a workout like this. More stills and video are here.

Congrats to Beccy & Michael

I was invited to the wedding reception of Beccy and Michael yesterday. I am friends with Beccy's parents, so I have known her since she was..ummm...very small indeed. They didn't have a pro photog covering the event but they did have lots of people with cameras; and some crazy idea for people to download their images before they left. Here are some choice images. As you can see, Beccy really doesn't like to be the center of attention.
