TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two martial artists in white gi practice judo techniques on a tatami mat. One man performs a bow before standing to face his partner, who wears a black belt. They engage in a formal demonstration, gripping each other's uniforms in a traditional stance. Shot on 8mm film, the grainy black-and-white footage captures the disciplined movements and respectful atmosphere of a Japanese martial arts dojo in the early 1970s.
