@Atube94 Thanks for your reply. That's what I expected (and hoped) you would say. I trained mainly in Japan (Wadokai) too, and there we trained to do things with good form, but as fast as we could. Over here (UK) the emphasis seems only to be on the first bit, and any kind of realistic speed seems to be ignored. I could write a short essay (ok, maybe a long one) on the benefits of properly learning the basics vs. shallow-ly learning lots of fancy-ass techniques, but I won't. Shutting up now :)
You call this "very fast", but wouldn't it be normal speed? (I'm only a shodan in karate, and know nothing about aikido, but it just seems like it's at regular speed to me - like what you'd use if someone was really attacking you). How fast is it "supposed" to be done?
This is amazing how god the distances between uke end nage even when it's at a very high speed

Thank you for this post. This is a nicely done, quick kumijo example.
