Default My First Martial Arts Tournament Shots

Hi Everyone,

A couple of weeks back I was asked by my son's instructor if I could photograph the Revolution Tournaments English Title Fight Night. I was thrilled but made sure they were aware I'd never tried anything like that before, so could not guarantee any decent shots...

Luckily as the night went on I got to grips with it and took what I think are some decent shots, here's a small selection of the photos (more of which on my Flickr account...) I hope you enjoy them.
