jiu jitsu

Jiu Jitsu is a balance of opposing forces, embodying the philosophy of yielding to overcome strength and using leverage and technique over brute force. It teaches practitioners to be fluid, adapting to the movements and actions of their opponent. In Jiu Jitsu, there is a deep understanding of body mechanics, which allows a smaller or weaker individual to effectively defend themselves against a larger adversary. This martial art emphasizes the importance of mental resilience and strategic thinking, where each move is calculated, and patience is key. By harmonizing physical prowess with mental agility, Jiu Jitsu offers a comprehensive approach to self-defense and personal growth, teaching its students not only how to fight but also how to harmonize strength with flexibility, aggression with calmness, and action with reaction.

Just because a photo has great color, proper framing, and correct exposure doesn’t make it good if it didn’t capture the right moment.

Creatively showcasing expression, emotion, and preserving the moment is what I take the most pride in.
