Default A Couple of Judo Pictures

My daughter and I both compete in Judo. I have been to a few tournaments recently and have been attempting to get some good pictures of the great throws. Unfortunately they happen so fast... its often hard to capture.
Here are a couple that I was happy with...

Throw - Ian & Dilavyer


Ippon!

I really like the tangle of legs in the first shot. Love the second one. I think it is a real accomplishment to get both faces in the shot.

Thanks. The biggest problem of judo shots is actually the fact that their direction changes so fast... you end up with a TON of shots of rear ends!! lol

great shots mum.

it's hard to shoot martial arts but your knowledge of it helps some.

love the way you got the second one in mid air and in focus before he hit the mat.
