this is a shooto demonstration done in 1992 in Los Angeles Chinatown for the Chinese New Year.
This is sensei Yorinaga Nakamura and his student Tsuyoshi Abe. Sensei Yori founded shooto (also known as shootwrestling) in America (he learned it from Satoru Sayama in Japan) and is the instructor of Dan Inosanto, and also Erik Paulson. Erik can be seen in the background of this video.
I practice Jeet Kune Do , Kali & Shooto under Yori Sensei !! hihi

No, I wasn't there but started training in Shooto after I saw this video very soon after they made it. I trained in Chinatown with Mark Stewart in the early 90s.
