Aikido

My other passion in life, when I'm not shooting photos. Of course, that being said, it is a favourite photography subject of mine. Fast action and spinning bodies make for challenging work, but as you can see, it is worth the effort...
Derived from the samurai fighting art of Aikijutsu of ancient Japan, Aikido is termed the “Modern Martial Art” because it places an emphasis on the development of harmony and cooperation rather than competition and the violent subduing of opponents. Aikido translates as “the way of harmony with the universe”.
