This is good stuff, but I can tell you someone who's learned some of this sees things completely differently from someone who is totally naive about what it feels like. When I see this smoothness I tend to sympathize with the power uke is experiencing, but others likely see uke just falling down. One perspective power is apparent, another it vanishes.
O.K. I can accept that. I guess that, being an instructor myself, it interests me to watch other teaching techniques. But I do understand your point. Peace.
The instructor is demonstrating for cooperative practice. He is demonstrating exactly how he wants the class to practice so that they will LEARN without injury.
I would have made a great samurai.

That's what good Aikido looks like. Totally relaxed yet powerful balance-taking.

Would be cooler if the instructor was actually throwing it. It looks more like the assistant is jumping than being thrown.
