David Elwood - This is my Life

Travel

I've always had a strong desire to see the world. I grew up traveling between Europe and the US and I've visited over 80 countries on 6 of 7 continents. I have an interest in Renaissance art, especially sculpture and have seen most of Michelangelo's works. You can see my travel photos on Smugmug here. My personal travel map of the world can be seen here.

Photography

I've been interested in photography for years and am constantly improving my skill. I enjoy travel photography best but also nature and landscape shots. I've had photos exhibited in local galleries shows and have received several honors online. See my gallery on Smugmug and various awards here.

Martial Arts

I started training in martial arts in 1977, earned advanced rank in several different styles. I also taught "JKD" privately until the end of 2009. I authored two books; BattleMaster and JKD Devastating Fighting Techniques and was a contributor to the book, Worst Case Scenarios. I was inducted into the US Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2007. Check out the martial arts photos here. See some of my martial arts moves in the video section.

Scuba

I started diving in 1986 and I've been all over the world since then. I have logged over a thousand dives in lakes, rivers, oceans, aquariums, deep pools of the world and even a crater. You can see my diving photos here. See my latest dive log online here.

Yoga

I've studied and trained yoga for years, now also teaching occasionally. See my profile here at Yoga Alliance
