I am also passionalte about....

What do you like best about your training? Are you working with any weapons? I used to work out six days a week for approximately four hours each night - kata, heavy bag, sparring - I was constantly bruised up.

My favorite part is working on the techniques. Whether its kata or sparring. I really enjoy researching and learning about different ways to do the same things. Not everyone is built the same so having multiple ways to accomplish the same goal is key!

I do work weapons: Nunchuku, Bo-Staff, and Sai's . Kamas are 4th Degree Black Belt stuff....too advanced for me (for now)

You did not mention tonfa and eku - are those taught at your dojo?

Those are not taught...well, as far as an Eku goes. Our Bo-Staff forms are done similarly with the Eku.

Photography is my passion.

I'm not very good, but getting better this easier that way!!

I'm now trying to work out how to justify the purchase of a Canon 5D MKk III or Canon 7D Mk II.
(To my wife a camera is just a camera).

Although when I last upgraded from a 40D (10mp) to a 7D (18mp), I had to upgrade all my lenses as the 7D showed up all of the flaws

Photography and travel. Have Canon, will travel!
