PHOTOS - August 13, Day Two of Competition

This fine morning I walked around and photographed more of the Taolu...

The Masters!

Mr. Dmytro from the Ukraine Kung Fu Team

And even some of the Taekwando and Pushing hands competitions...

Tuishou

...before heading back to the MMA/Sanshou/Sanda competition!

Next there were some competitions between a few pairs of young ladies...
Unfortunately my camera decided to start malfunctioning at about that time...! Evil camera!

In the evening there was more action!

And got a few photos with my new Russian friends!

The hardest part of the fight game is waiting, and waiting for the fight to begin. The best part is winning, hopefully, or at least the good friends one makes during and after the competition. I gotta say this Russian team was really great inside and outside the ring. Usually in foreign countries I just hang out with the locals to learn the culture, language, etc... but for these three days I really enjoyed the friendship of these easygoing, brave and powerful ladies and gentlemen. Thanks to you all!
