A young male karate competitor in a white gi and red belt performs a formal bow and handshake at a tournament in San Gabriel, California, 1966. Shot on 8mm film, the footage captures the athlete's focused expression and the crowd of spectators and judges seated behind a table. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 home movie evokes a strong sense of 1960s nostalgia and authentic martial arts competition.
