TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two men in white karate gi practice a defensive technique on a tatami mat. The instructor, wearing a black belt, demonstrates a precise arm lock and throw, culminating in his partner being taken to the ground. Shot on 8mm film, the footage exhibits classic grain, soft focus, and a monochrome aesthetic, capturing a moment of disciplined martial arts training in a traditional dojo setting.
