Winners Gallery

This is where the monthly winners end up. Every photo here got voted on by the people who visit the site and came out on top in its category. Some of them are really good shots and some of them just caught a moment at the right time, which honestly is kind of the whole point of sports photography anyway. Either way they earned their spot here.

If you want to get your photo in here, go read the rules and then email your submission in. Voting opens on the 21st of each month so you have until then to get your photo in. The winner in each category gets credited by name. We are planning to keep adding to this every month so eventually it should be a pretty solid collection of martial arts photos from people who actually train and compete.
