WEST COVINA CALIFORNIA-1966: A vintage 8mm home movie captures a judo training session in a dimly lit gym. Two athletes in white gi with red trim practice throws and holds on a mat, with one competitor executing a takedown. Spectators watch from the background, and the grainy, high-contrast black-and-white footage shows classic Super 8 film artifacts. The scene conveys the focused intensity of martial arts practice in the 1960s.
