This is absolutely incredible to watch. We do these in just about every Aikido Class in the AWA, AAA, and Ki Society schools. But to watch the man who created the exercises run thru them all, amazing.
This is a great video! To see these exercises performed by the founder of Ki-Aikido is very informative. I can see nuances in them of which I was not aware.
It would have been better had he done them without the Hakama and the camera had kept his feet in the frame at all times. But, heck, can't have everything.

@edmanr2003 he isn't, it's koichi tohei, teaching shin-shin-toitsu-do. one of the principles is to let your breath flow naturally.

Not really similar to kata, taiso is similar to the word calisthenics.
A kata is a more complicated series.

Well that is... different.
In Kobayashi Aikido the Aikitaiso is fairly different in the execution.
