Thanks mate. Yeah it was mostly 2014-15 vision and there was a STACK of it. One of the camcorders I was given had 220gb of video to sort through! I personally shot some it throughout the year at various events, and some of it was taken off phones as well. Would have loved to travel around with the family to all the tournaments but as you know it gets expensive and karate is not a very high profile sport over here in Aus. Hopefully we'll be doing some cool stuff in 2016. It makes all the difference when the subject matter is one you love (karate) and understand, as you can see things in the vision other people wouldn't, like referee calls, coach reactions, skills that are so fast you might miss etc. I would happily make karate videos for a living if there was a demand haha. Hey, congrats Liam on your Nidan, Sensei Chris is an excellent technician and I'm sure he was invaluable in your preparation. And yep I was at Donacaster seeing the new Star Wars movie!

I'm glad you guys liked it! Yeah it does take time to build a clip like that, even though the while things runs only 1min 20secs it took about 28hrs of work! o.O The great thing with video & photos is that you can start simple because if the subject matter is important to you (friend, student or family) then it will have meaning and impact to the people that matter. By far the hardest thing is starting Hey Liam, fancy seeing you here You still training with Sensei Chris D?

Thanks guys!

Hey guys, have you ever made a video compilation of students or friends? It's so worth it and fun too. Here's mine - i'd love to see other peoples. Awesome Karate Fight Highlights - Athan Dritsas (student and mate) https://youtu.be/PxRcPT2h-EQ I have an intro thread going to so come say hi. Osu. Joe.

Howdy all, Just thought I'd say Hi. I'm Joe. I'm a Nidan in Goju Ryu karate and have been training since 1994. Karate has been my life for so long and I've dedicated myself to learning, competing and teaching. It's such an honour to pass on knowledge to willing students and help guide them into becoming martial artists and close friends. One of my younger students has recently applied himself in striving to be the best competition fighter he can, and has surprised us all with his dedication and determination to improve himself in every way. In respect of this his father and I decided to make a highlights compilation of his year that was leading up to his first world championships U21. I hope you enjoy the clip and would love to hear your impressions. It's short and punchy, much like him Osu! https://youtu.be/PxRcPT2h-EQ Regards, Joe Foreman Wouldn't you love to have a video like that made of yourself?
