Kicking ass.. taekwondo style

Had the opportunity to go witness a taekwondo demo performed by the Korean Diplomacy Foundation team here in London by invitation. Took my faster lenses (50mm 1.8 and the 100mm 2.8) since the light levels would be  lower and the action was expected to be faster. While the demo team warmed up, I too was warming up :),... and set the camera to Manual, did the metering, white balance and then set to continuous shooting... But when the action started, boy was I in for a surprise. My rebel 600D's 3.5 fps and the smaller buffer combination was not even close to keeping up with them. So, had a horrendous time to capture at least some of the action... So, come next similar opportunity, I will go sporting a faster camera for sure.. Here are some of the results,

Sticking to basics...
