This looks like the *old* kata video, because Aaron is still going up on his toes without flexing his knees and dropping down, i.e. the way we used to do it, in that one swing-around movement in the latter half of the kata. Sheesh, this takes me back...
Yep, that's Aaron teaching the Tandoko undo, A.K.A, "the walking", and the hand releases. They're in Washington now, and if you ever get a chance to study with Aaron and his father, Chuck, DO IT MAN!!!!
i recognize the guys, the dojo, and the video. it's aaron clark sensei performing the aiki tandoko undo at the jiyushinkan in tempe, az. the video is a few years old, but the techniques haven't changed. here's hoping that the rest of this video will find it's way on to youtube; it's an excellent instructional aide.
i really admire jacob baron-taltre's ukemi in the ju nana hon kata section of this video. so graceful, so flexible in his hips.

Does anyone know what form of Aikido this is? The walks, look very much like Tomiki, but I'm curious what it is for sure.

It is Jiyushinkai AikiBudo. It is in the Tomiki lineage. It indeed is a demonstration of the walk/walking kata.

I just thought of something funny, If someone attacks you they better be ready to " Talk to the hand ".

I used to have a book by Senta Yamada and Alex Macintosh
from the sixties. It's cool to see what they were trying to teach in action. Thanks for putting this out.
