Is This The BEST AIKIDO We've Ever Seen?

This Aikidoka looks almost like a Toreador when he's taking on the Catch As Catch Can (CACC) competitor. I don't think I've ever seen an Aikidoka look so authentically Aikido under pressure before. Let's watch and appreciate this guy's martial art in practice. This is a step forward in bridging the gap between form and function, especially for Aikido, which has gotten a little clowned on for the past two decades.
