THROWDOWN IN GATINEAU ~ FEBRUARY 2012

I was asked to shoot the Muay Thai event, Throwdown in Gatineau, at the Hilton Lac Leamy on February 25, 2012.  The REC Promotions event hosted 14 fights in total and boasted some of the amazing talent that amateur Muay Thai has to offer!  Here is a large assortment of images from the event shown in the same order as the fights.  I will update this post later with the names of the fighters and of course the results!

If anyone wants to order high resolution pics from the event contact me at DarrenBegg@gmail.com.  Enjoy!

 

Family Day 2012

What do you do on Family Day? Well ….. ya spend it with family!  So we took the kidz out for some fresh air to chase some squirrels, hand feed some birds, and tempt some deer with some juicy apples.  Well we spotted the deer, but no chance of getting them any closer ….. they looked very well fed!

It was a very fun day!

Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts Poster

The Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts (OAMA) has become one of the most recognized organizations for offering and promoting martial arts in the Ottawa / Gatineau region.  They are dedicated to the community, have amazing programs for all ages, and have developed some very competitive fighters.  REC Promotions (an affiliation of OAMA), in cooperation with The SCORE Fighting Series, has been organizing fights under the name WRECK MMA.  These fights not only showcase some of OAMA’s own in-house talent but provides a platform for other MMA gyms within the city, across Canada (and even into the USA), and their fighters to compete at a higher level.

REC Promotions has given me the opportunity to shoot their events, and so I wanted to show my appreciation by assembling a poster that highlights some notable OAMA fighters who have competed at WRECK MMA.
