Awesome shots Andy. As one who has studied a mixed martial arts style for the past 6 years (and been a black belt for the past 2 of those years teaching)... I really do enjoy seeing others out there who enjoy taking Martial Arts photography. My style has kicks very heavily based on Tae Kwon Do, and I must say my favorite of all your shots up there is the yellow belt who is throwing his flying side kick Great shot.
I need to get my students some rebreakable boards... (cept my students are all in college, so they probably won't look nearly as awesome as these kids who learned how to do it from such a young age, heh)
Wonderful shots and great series Andy Did you I2E these? The blacks are black and the whites are really great. You were right on the exposure. Not bad for a Canon shooter.:D

Except for a slight crop, this is straight from the Camera:
It sadly did not go well at all [lol] They neglected to tell me the lights would be shut off and there would only be spotlights on the competitors. It was a demonstration and the lighting conditions where absolutely horrible.
I am now doing a Tae Kwon do grading for a local school. And I am having a huge issues with the blue mats in their dojo. All the photos I am taking come out with a bad blue tint. I am going to go back this week with a flash but am worried about flashing off lights while they perform..any suggestions? did you run into this with your photos?

yeah thats what I was thinking. Going to send off an e-mail to the master today and see if he is cool with that. I was using an Canon 28-135 f/3.5-5.6. I might try and use a 50mm f/1.8 this week and see if I can get a bit more light. the place is definitely under lit for photography.
On top of that the actual grading is in another center so I need to go there this week and check out the lighting as well.
What flash are you using? I'll need to buy one by Thursday.

I love your work and can not wait to produce the kind of shots that you produce. I looked at some photos that you took at a taekwondo studio. Well, I am shooting my first taekwondo tournament this weekend, it will consist of up to 30 matches of youth. I was hoping I could get some pointers on the setup. I shoot a canon 40D and I am wondering about the best settings to try. The tournament will be inside a large elementary school cafeteria. Any info that you can give me, I would deeply appreciate it.
I shoot a canon 40D, canon EFS 17-85mm, canon 75-300 1:4-5.6, 430 EXII Speedlite, Expodisc for white balance, and the gary fong lightsphere. In the next few weeks I will be buying the Tamron 70-200mm 2.5
