A man in a white karate gi performs floor exercises on a concrete surface in this 1966 8mm home movie from San Gabriel, California. Shot from above, the footage captures him lying on his back, executing leg raises and core movements, with a red line visible on the ground. The grainy, slightly faded color and film scratches are characteristic of vintage Super 8 footage, evoking a nostalgic, authentic feel of mid-century martial arts practice.
