Breaking Bricks at Bayview Community Center
This is a demonstration of brick breaking by the Yoshukai karate class the meets at the Northeast Branch of The YMCA. I photographed them during the recent celebration of the Japanese New Year at Bayview Community Center. These photographs are in sequence.

Quick transition! Love the movement you've captured in the third shot especially. Great job!
Great series to show us the action! Bravo!!

I agree the third shot is terrific.
Thanks for stopping by. No the dog isn't mine, he was competing in a Shcutzhund trial I was shooting and apparently that's his "victory dance" when he knows the show's over. Word is that he does it every time he finishes an event. Very cool dog, but not one you want to run afoul of!
superb action captures!
great series again!
That is sooo amazing!
Your shots show the movement of the karate brick-breakers! Wow! Excellent shots! :)
Thanks for stopping by my Paris Blog. I aim to please!!!hA

My husband can actually do this! Again, great in B&W.
Ouch! Amazing how they can do this, and you got some great shots.
i often pass the karate club in hania, the window is clear and you can see what they are doing, i like the way these martial arts have a sort of structure to them, they make me feel that violence is not uncontrollable (in a positive way)
Sorry about the test comment but sometimes this format won't allow me to leave a comment.
I love this series of photos. Really unique. You've managed to capture the action and motion and emotions of what's going on with this group of men.
One of the more original series I've seen lately on the blogs.
Thank you for visiting me for SSS!
Looking forward to returning here.
You are very good at documenting movement..
Impressive.
I used to train in Shotokan karate so I had some idea of what they were about, it really helps when you can anticipate the motion.
