The above is a video clip shot at Shingu Dojo (Kumano, Japan) in 1973 during a class led by Michio Hikitsuchi (10th dan). In the video are Motoichi Yanase, Yasushi Tojima, Jack Wada, and Mary Heiny.
I'm aware that this is not really what you were aiming for, but my first thought is that when is film was digitalized, the wrong frames/s setting was used.
I remember that the same thing happend to OSensei's Asahi News film, and that the correct setting for that film was 18frames/s.
I had the same thought. I would love to see these old films at the correct speeds. But aside from that it is really cool to see a young Heiny sensei in training.
