If i am not mistaken, Yoshinkan's kihon dosa was originally created so that it is easier to teach and train a large group of police officers. That time Kyoichi Inoue sensei was in-charged of teaching them. Basically, if you can do a good kihon dosa (good balance, posture, timing etc), then it would be no problem to execute techniques.
to me it seems that the movements themselves are flowing but in between he does the breaks before the next command, so the whole exercise seems as not flowing. i also guess this is real aikido, too. but it's simply a different style.
The reason this does not look "flowing" like "traditional" Aikido is because this is the Yoshinkan (hard-style) technique.
Shioda's Aikido Yoshinkan focuses on the basics of Aikido. The six basic movements or the kihon dosa are taught repeatedly to Yoshinkan students. Students of this style spend a considerable time of their training regimen repeating basic movements in Aikido techniques.
However, outside observers sometimes view Yoshinkan Aikidokas or those that practices Aikido as having too automatic or too rigid movements because of their strict adherence to the techniques and in the correct execution of each movement.
This is why Yoshinkan is sometimes referred to as the "hard-style". Yoshinkan Aikidokas will practice the basics in the form of solo movements called kata. Nevertheless, as Yoshinkan Aikidokas gain more experience, their movements become more fluid and will eventually develop spontaneity of techniques.
i am a part of yoshikan akikido here in the Us. BDT29 is very right. our six basic movments are done almost everytime we come to practice. It makes the techniques we do later on easier. The names we call the movements are Circle Power 1, Circle Power 2, Ground Power 1, Ground Power 2, and United Movement 1 and 2.
Traditions start at some point, end at some point, and are modified at some point. If you want to argue tradition, the Yoshinkan school predates the Aikikai.
The kihon dosa isn't meant to look flowing, it's meant to instill correct posture and positioning. Yoshinkan aikidoka learn correct positioning and learn to flow later while Aikikai aikidoka learn to flow first. That's the real difference.
Thanks for posting. I can use this for home practice.

I do Aikikai as well but I've been interested to see what they do in Yoshinkan.

So this is, more or less, how yoshinkan aikido looks like. Intriguing. I myself practice Aikikai aikido.
