Overview

A training camp told day by day: arrival, warm-ups, kids' classes, pad rounds with the fight team, the late sessions and the circle that closes out the week.

Approach

Available light in a busy gym, working around the room instead of stopping it. Wide frames for the scale of the classes, tight frames for effort and technique.
