Pro Wrestling Ulster Shoot

Sunday night meant the chance to shoot with the amazing local talent that is the Pro Wrestling Ulster Crew. As father Ted would have said, they're a great bunch of lads. This was the "Proving Grounds" even which was a chance for newcomers from the organisation's training academy to experience their first public bouts in front of a paying audience. It was great to see new characters, and there was obviously a lot of work had gone into the preparation.

Apart from the action stuff, there is always plenty of scope for other type of shot, particularly when it comes to grappling and submission holds. Which does tend to lend itself to a spot of black and white.

 JDP (the one in the air) is a big guy but very athletic. As in, I couldnt-do-that-in-a-million-years athletic.

The belly slap and ripple effect - this was the second time I caught this in a bout and it doesn't half look really weird. 

 The last event was a royal rumble-style free-for-all with all the wrestlers getting into the ring and the last one standing being the winner. This was a nightmare to shoot and I have no idea how to approach this if it comes up again in the future.
