This item is an example of the "Goble Awards", which was a joke honor awarded to the Cepheid who did the dumbest thing in the course of the year. The Award, cast in lead, was named for former Cepheid president Steve Goble, and depicts a rocket having crashed into the surface of the Moon.
This particular Goble Award has some damage on the fins of the rocket, which were the result, apparently, of being gnawed on by a cat belonging to a Cepheid of the time.

This disk contains three separate segments from totally different sources.
The first segment is taken from a professionally filmed BBC television broadcast series entitled: The Way of the Warrior. The episode shown here is entitled: “T’ai Chi – The Soft Way”; however, this title is somewhat misleading. The focus of the episode is not on T’ai-chi but, rather, on Master Hung I-hsiang, one of Mr. Smith’s teachers in Taipei, Taiwan in the 1960s. The episode was filmed in Taipei in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It show-cases Master Hung’s teaching of the “soft arts” of Hsing-i Ch’uan, Pa Kua Chang, and T’ai-chi Ch’uan, as well as containing a few scenes of Shaolin Boxing. See YouTube post:

The second segment is a home movie filmed in Taiwan probably sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s. In a small, indoor venue, a series of performers demonstrate their respective arts to a panel of distinguished guest or judges who are seated at the end of the narrow room. Arts demonstrated include Preying Mantis (Tang Lang), White Crane, Monkey, Linear Pa Kua, Hsing-i Linking form, and various Southern Shaolin forms. Of particular interest is a brief clip of Master Hung I-hsiang demonstrating how to escape from and reverse various arm joint-locks. Some of this footage has been posted to YouTube:

The post refers to the website: “sacredpeaks.net”, but I couldn’t identify it.
The third segment consists of a color film made in Beijing, China on Ba Gua Zhang.
It appears to have been aired on television and consists of high quality demonstrations of bare-handed forms, weapon forms, and martial applications.
The final entry consists of two disks (“Part 1” and “Part 2”).
