A vintage 8mm film clip from 1966 captures a karate competition in West Covina, California. Two competitors in white gi and dark belts engage in intense martial arts combat on a mat, viewed from behind as they grapple and execute techniques. A large audience fills the bleachers in the background, watching intently. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, slight motion blur, and a handheld camera feel, conveying the energy of a live sporting event. This authentic home movie offers nostalgic archival footage of 1960s martial arts culture.
