TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two men in white karate gi practice a technique on a mat, one executing a throw using his non-dominant arm. Shot on 8mm film, the grainy black-and-white footage captures the fluid motion of the martial arts move, with one practitioner falling to the ground. The scene is set indoors, likely in a dojo, with a plain wall in the background. The vintage aesthetic and authentic movement evoke a sense of historical martial arts training.
