This is a fine example of what I wrote about earlier As aikido, it's pretty nifty, but as sword it's got flaws.
During the kumitachi segment, shitachi really smothers uke's cut, and riding the reversal is neat. However, it looks like about half the time he brings uke's sword to the inside of his right leg. If uke just continued around in the direction he's being taken, he'd have a good chance to cut all sorts of important things, like the tendons above the knee or the femoral artery.
