big soft moose said:what is with this forum and MMA - Andy (ASmkphotography) is into his multiple martial arts too , and i'm sure i've seen at posts from least one other guy as well - does photography give you a desire to beat the carp out of each other - or is it that getting beaten senseless makes you appreciate the beauty arround you more
Lol its mixed martial arts
Photodiva said:Antony, obviously you didn't take these, so the feedback may or may not be very helpful. I think lower level MMA is difficult to photo because of the lighting at the venues. Both the boxing ring and the 'cage' arenas offer varying degrees of difficulty. I imagine even the top level UFC matches aren't easy to capture. I watch a lot of MMA on TV with my OH, beats repeats of old films! Better to get a shot of you being declared the winner (or is that a sore spot?)
Buttkicker said:what you really need is me as your personal photog at ringside seen as I love MMA so much LOL
Lol no I didn't take them they was just a few pictures that I had on my phone so thought I would share them. I understand that it is hard to shoot low level mma, but I must add that I do fight pro now and not low level lol. As for the sore spot lol no no I can upload some of my victorys.

Photodiva said:So assuming you started at 10, you are now 42? You sure look good for your age LOL. Or does that mean you've done a bit of everything on different nights of the week

Lol yeah I got mount position and then put my knee over his right ARM so he only had 1 hand to defend his face while I punched the life out of it lol.

big soft moose said:next time try to do it in front of the camera instead of on the otherside of the ring - or buy your girlfreind a zoom
Just found this. Where you train duttytd? I train under Danny Batten In MK. My background is Muay Thai mind you after living in Thailand off on on between 2005 and 2009. I am just back into training after a bike accident put me out for over a year.
and so the first ever TP MMA meet was arranged - you two kick 7 grades of grit out of each other while the rest of us take photos

malo50 said:Love the intensity in your face in #2. Can't believe you trained with Chuck. My son won a comp to spar with Randy, said it was the best beating he's ever had.
malo50 said:You'd have 1 fight in the cage and6 outside trying to get the best position.
ladysue said:How are your toes Anthony? Not long til your next fight is it?
Ah nice I train at utc in Birmingham under vaughan Harvey (#4 bantum in uk)
I had a bike accident a few years back that kept me out of training for 9 months.
I have just over 2 weeks till my fight and have 3kg of weight to loose so its all looking really really good so far. Thanks for asking :-D
asphotographymk said:Great gym up at UTC. Need more top end facility like that in the UK.
I hated being out for so long. I fight at 70kg but walking at about 89 right now so got a bit of a drop to make before i think about fighting again.
Sorry its testing ground 10 not 9 lol
