A recent program at work featured Chris Bradford, who wrote a book called Young Samurai. Bradford is quite the accomplished martial artist (actual phrase?), and in keeping with that spirit, we had some demonstrations from area schools before the program started.
Above is Joel Hubbard, of St. Louis Self-Defense & Fitness, who happens to be friends with someone I know at work (gotta milk these connections, you know). So he was nice enough to pose for me, and this is probably my favorite so far. I might have even previsualized this one, so I can't recall for sure. I do know I watched his demo BEFORE shooting, so I knew what kind of pose I wanted. Joel is a third-degree black belt, which is pretty cool.

that looks disarmingly like blood on his sword.
