Man, all these videos look really cool! Both new and old forms have their place. The good thing about Aikido and Martial Art in general is that it's a living art not a dead one. Meaning it is still changing and will change with time, nothing will stay the same. This is a law of nature and of the Tao. Hopefully we can make it better than before.
This seems to be an evolution of the forms portion of martial art, just like the fighting portion has evolved into Mixed Martial Arts fighting. Where will this go? Hm...interesting to find out! Maybe we'll hit a revolution point in Aikido that will bring it to an even better point!
