This is a series of images showing figures in motion engaged in combat. Two rows depict dynamic poses and interactions between the figures. The top row contains twelve sequential frames showing choreographed fighting or boxing maneuvers. The bottom row continues the sequence in a different setting. The controlled background emphasizes the movement and form of the bodies.
