Shiho mae, akibatto exercise 1. Sword defense against an attack from the front.
This video shows it in iaido kata solo style. Another video on this account shows it with a partner.
Aikibatto is a system of sword (ken) and staff (jo) exercises, primarily but not only for aikido students, combining aikiken, iaido, and aikijo principles. It's developed by Stefan Stenudd, 6 dan Aikikai shihan.
There are ten sword against sword exercises, practiced both with and without a partner (in kata style training). There are also ten corresponding staff against sword exercises.
