Photos from the battodo film shoot

We did some filming in my pool a week or so ago for the battodo video series. Shihan John is in the videos, not me, so I was able to take some photos while they were prepping (when I remembered). It was quite fun to do but a lot of work for the film crew and Shihan, but only a little for me. I should have taken more but you might see it in the videos

Some of the pictures are blurry; I apologize
