In ten minutes I went from watching a horse drown to locking myself in the bathroom.

A full South Korean Kim Il (Kintaro Oki) match from 1978 has surfaced. This is huge. Before this, we've only had matches taped by Japan in South Korea, or newsreels.
Kim Il & Kim Duk vs. Tor Kamata & Tito Santana. Joe Higuchi as referee.
