This is a demonstration of ko Kyu nage - breath throw exercise. It is structured for the safety of both "attacker" and "defender" and is used to develop body/breath coordination and to a certain extent strategy against multiple attackers. The next level of practise is "Randoori" when more earnest striking attacks are met with actual techniques as opposed to simply re-directing the energy.
The point of the exercise is to allow the Nage practice his/her throws. Also with Aikido, the more aggressive is your attack, the better chance for you to get hurt. After all, its your energy that is turned against you :)

geogecho make a good point. At our dojo kokyunage is practised partly as a coordination and flow excercise and partly as a precursor to randoori

LOL - well spotted. in an enclosed space it's always tempting to take hold occasionally and "steer' uke to safety. ;0)

Nice flow - a good demonstration of the "dynamic sphere" shape and principal. This in't meant to be agressive.

these guys don't look like they are attacking with any real aggression. The movement is impressive though I guess.
