Looks very disciplined. The guy in the background must be finished - he looks too relaxed.

Thanks HK and Bob.
The man in the back is relaxed because he's the instructor .
And his students seemed to be doing well.

They are very disciplined. Martial arts require decades of training to reach the top. If the student begins around six years of age, they may be in their eighties when they reach the top. Reaching the level of Black belt is a journey that does not end once you have reached Black Belt. I trained for five years and still had one more belt to go before I could go for my black belt, but health issues and moving to a different city at that time made it too difficult for me to get back in to it. I do still miss it though.

I like this one a lot, Charlie. I love how you included the instructor in the BG. I do kinda wish their feet were included, but the reason I notice, is that is a failing of mine a *lot* so I'm always looking for it, now. One thing that really impresses me on this, is that the guy with his back appears to be in straight sun, while the other guy appears to be in the shade and yet the difference between them exposure wise doesn't seem all that drastic, and you have detail on both of them. I think you pulled some of your own film martial arts on this one ;-)

Thanks, guys.
Yes, chopping off feet has been a life-long bad habit and I have no excuse except that until I joined FM nobody had ever mentioned it (because no one ever looked at my pics ).
