Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage footage captures a professional martial arts match in West Covina, California. Two athletes in traditional white gi uniforms and black belts engage in intense judo or karate techniques on a competition mat. A referee in a suit oversees the match as spectators fill the bleachers in the background. The grainy black-and-white image, with natural film artifacts, evokes the authentic feel of a 1960s home movie. This archival clip is ideal for documentaries, historical content, or nostalgic projects about mid-century sports and martial arts culture.
