Martial Arts in the Park

Another beautiful day. We went wandering around Meridien Hill park in DC, to intro my mom to a whole 'nother cultural experience: acroyoga, tightrope walking, drum circles, african dance, pot smoking ;)

These guys were practicing a combination of martial arts (the names of which I now forget) so I stopped to chat with them and ask to take pix. While the craft can be used for defensive techniques, it's the derived health benefits that were more interesting to them. They spoke of 'meditation in motion' promoting serenity and inner peace :)
