World Champs - More of our favourite images of the juniors from Day 1
Daiana Turnes - happy gold medalist of the junior hyper weight sparring and a special friend of some of the Kiwis.
#ITFWC
We had a rest day today so I took the opportunity to look through the photos that we've taken over the last two days. It took me most of the day!
Anyway, during this I tagged a fair few of the better images to share with you. Call them highlights if you like.

March 2011 World Champs - Here We Come
In only one weeks time on the 20th August 82 kiwis line up in Taupo for the first of two weekends of trials to represent New Zealand in the 2011 World Champs in Wellington.
I'll be there clicking away - wouldn't miss that intense high odds action for the world!
Exciting stuff. Here are a few of my favourite action shots from the 2009 Trials...
Good luck!
Cheers

The best 130 Taekwon-Do Action Images from 5 years of shooting
In the last 5 years I've calculated that I've taken about 100,000 Taekwon-Do action images. About 60% have been discarded leaving 36,000 keepers. Over recent months I went through them identifying the 130 top images, just 0.36%, and produced a large 13" x 11" photo book for our coffee table at home.
I thought that it may also make a great birthday or Christmas gift for anyone who loves Taekwon-Do like we do. You can preview the book here... and, if you're keen, we can order you a copy for delivery anywhere in the world.
Taekwon-Do Action
All images are captioned and there are sections covering patterns, pre-arranged sparring, a large sparring section, power, specialty, plus “random stuff”.
Large format, 13” x 11” (33 x 28cm), 136 pages, NZ$195 (price may vary with USD exchange rate and country of delivery)

WAKO Auckland Open Tournament
Today Carl van Roon of TOA Fighting Systems Auckland hosted the WAKO "Auckland Open" tournament at Auckland Grammar School gym.
I went along for a while and took a few photos. There was a good sized crowd, plenty of competitors and a fun environment.

Auckland North Regional Tournament
I spent the day yesterday at the Auckland North Tournament at Warkworth. The Gym at Maharangi College is my favorite venue in terms of a place to photograph people and the action. It has heaps of light and nice clean white walls that give a clean background and reflect the light all around from the high windows. Last year I played around with some high key images and this year wanted to try and get some of that effect for the overall event. Some of the images were successful and others were disastrous... however, you can only learn by pushing boundaries, right?
Here are the Pick of the Pix from the tournament (27)...
And here are the rest of the images I selected (296)...

World Champs Pick of the Pix - Ladies Hitting Hard
Argentina delivers a powerful head punch to Poland. Amazingly at 1/200th of a second shutter speed the Pole's hair is action blurred.
Another tussle between Poland and Argentina. While I haven't caught a hit you can see the intensity of the fight in the Argentinian's face.
Carolina Dillen lands a nice left hand head punch.
And Carolina again... delivering a sidekick.

World Champs Pick of the Pix - Big Hits
Jeremy Hanna catches England with a nice side-kick.
After the last Kiwis Getting Hit post I thought I'd better find a few images with the kiwis on their front foot dishing out some damage. In this article boys are delivering the goods, and they're not all kiwis....
Carl Van Roon executes a VR classic jumping punch with Jhonatan Batista of Argentina in the Heavyweight final. Batista won.
Kane Baigent lands a nice quick head punch.
Russia delivering a nice strong side-kick to Poland.
Mark Trotter vs USA. Interesting air technique on the part of USA while Mark executes a nice high kick and punch. Trotter won.
Jeremy Hanna responds to being boxed by Nejc Blanusa of Slovinia in with a well positioned side kick in the Junior heavyweight final. Blanusa won.
