Shot on 8mm film in 1966, this vintage home movie captures a martial arts competition in West Covina, California. Two athletes in white gi uniforms engage in a judo match on a mat, executing throws and grappling techniques under the watchful eyes of a seated judge and a large audience. The grainy black-and-white footage, with visible film edges and natural motion, evokes the authentic feel of a 1960s amateur sports event. The scene is set indoors, likely in a gymnasium or community hall, with spectators filling the background. This archival clip offers a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century martial arts culture and community recreation.
