Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage home movie captures a judo competition in Temple City, California. Two athletes in white gi uniforms grapple on a mat while a referee in a white shirt oversees the match. Spectators, including other competitors in gi, sit along the wooden-paneled gymnasium wall. The footage shows dynamic action, including throws and grappling, with the characteristic grain and color palette of Super 8 film. This authentic archival clip offers a nostalgic look at mid-century martial arts events and community sports.
