It is very good, but it has the problem that it turns into a dance-like exercise. The danger of losing feeling and connection is high. For sure and exercise to be done by high level, not new beginners.
It looks as if he has used some of his taiji-quan push hands studies and applied them to aikido. Sugawara has trained in some Chinese martial arts in his day.
Interesting exercise, very flowing and it covers most of the basic counters to ikkyo, sankyo, etc. It's very lengthy too, I wonder if Tsugawara's koryu training has influenced this aikido kata.
He makes it look so easy... I felt like such an uncoordinated idiot trying to do this at last years seminar.
