Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage home movie captures a martial arts competition in Temple City, California. Two fighters in white gi engage in a judo match on a mat, with one executing a throw while judges observe from a table. Other competitors and spectators in traditional martial arts uniforms sit along the gymnasium walls. The footage shows natural film grain, slight camera shake, and authentic 1960s color tones, offering a nostalgic look at amateur martial arts events from the era.
