I recently had contact with a police officer who trained like this and told me that after their 25 years in service that the chances of using this style on the street is Zero!
it's fucking annoying to watch to be honest. it's fake as hell. all those "students" are doing is willingly fall or roll on the floor to accomodate an old man's ego and power fantasy. that old dude wouldn't be able to stop a teenager with bad intentions in the street, we all know that.
That is probably because your expectations are wrong. This guy is not trying to show he can fight them, but demonstrating particular set of technique variants. Not interesting for anyone who is not knowledgeable in them, so only aikidoka are interested in this.

Искренне не понимаю такие выступления. Демонстрация техники по сути слабая и крайне формальная.
All martial arts' demos are staged - they are not real sparring.
