Mumeishi 3's @ Mumeishi Dojo, London. Nov 17, 2001.

This is an annual event hosted by London Mumeishi Dojo. There are always a lot of teams from other countries - but this year due to 9/11 the teams from USA has withdrawn.

The usual schedule is: ladies individuals (open), then first rounds for teams (3-men team, one member has to be a non-Dan grade. Limited to 2 teams per dojo, but you can always made up your own team)...Lunch break. Followed by Juniors Individuals (in divisions of: 6-9yrs, 10-12yrs, 13-14yrs, 15-16yrs), and then the final rounds for teams.

This is my first attempt to experiment with different cameras and films, and most of the time the colour looks...bad... Technical specification as follow:-

The reddish ones (left): Digital film, Fuji Finepix 2400z
The more normal ones (below): Kodak Max 400 on Olympus OM10
B&W: Ilford Delta 100 on Olympus OM10
(I switch between two lens: 28mm / 50mm on the Olympus)

The reason why I have time to take photo is that I wasn't fighting on the day (ar, com'on... I just got into armour!).

...and also that I don't know people from other clubs. It's funny to see how many of them I can spot now.
View from the above.

I quite like them fighting on the red circle.
Round 2 Hizen vs Cambridge.

(Also check out their flag collection!!)
Same fight as above but players switch sides in this photo.

It is actually Scott vs Hamada, for those who know them.
