He is just showing the specific technique. In a real fight you can do whatever you want. I don't think any two Aikidoka will fight exactly alike in the real world and/or choose to do the exact same technique for the exact same attack. It's not taking a self defense course, it's learning a martial art. I personally like the palm strike when someone moves in on me fast.

Did it wrong, you have to first deflect the attack, then you can grab it.
