Another good aggressive image of Erica Germain sparring with the Auckland and Northland members of the NZ World Champs team. Here she's sparring with Ethan Parker.
I noticed that most of my best images from today's training were of the females sparring with the men and in most cases they're caught laying it on to the men! Instructor Steve Pellow is a great believer in having the women spar with the men... it toughens them up for when they compete with those tough Eastern Europeans and South Americans at the World Champs.

Check out the intensity of Carolina Dillen's attack on Clint King... impressive!
