Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage home movie captures a judo match in progress at a gymnasium in Temple City, California. Two men in white judo gis, one with a black belt and the other with a red belt, grapple intensely on a light-colored mat. The action includes throws and holds, with spectators seated in the background observing the competition. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 film grain, slight color fading, and natural camera movement, offering authentic archival footage of a martial arts event from the mid-1960s.
