TOKYO JAPAN-1971: Two men in white karate gi practice a technique on a mat. One man executes a throw, flipping his opponent onto his back. The opponent lands on the floor while the other stands nearby. Shot on 8mm film, this archival footage captures the discipline and motion of martial arts training in the early 1970s. The grainy black-and-white image and simple setting evoke a sense of historical authenticity and personal memory.
