During my vacation in CT, I had the pleasure of attending one of my brother, Phillip's, Karate classes at his Dojo.Phillip has been studying Karate as long as I've been a photographer, since the late '70's. He's a Black Belt and in this class he's teaching some of his students. In this shot, he's explaining a new Kata they'll be working on. His Dojo is not air-conditioned, and it was really hot; very hot for this time of year in CT.
I stayed for this class, then Phillip's advanced class which was taught by his long-time instructor, Tom. They were working on they're own Kata with the Bow (I'm not sure how it is spelled). They were getting ready for a demonstration for the next day.
The last time I photographed Phillip in one of his Karate classes or demonstrations was in the '80's.

Wonderful portrait of your brother, Loyce! Very special. Great lighting on face and shadow behind with detached Dojo eyes. And the red bandana! I also like the way you put him at the edge of the frame. Konichiwa.
Thank you so much, Margo. I liked this one a lot. I hope he does, too. We'll see when he gets the pix.
