TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two men in white karate gi perform a dynamic throw on a mat in a simple dojo. One man executes a high, acrobatic flip, lifting his opponent over his shoulder and slamming him onto the floor. The sequence captures the full motion of the technique, from the initial lift to the final impact and recovery. Shot on 8mm film, the footage features grainy black-and-white imagery and a vintage home movie aesthetic, showcasing authentic martial arts training from the early 1970s.
