He has a really nice combination of aikido and jujutsu. I'd love to train with him a bit. I promise not to be as noisy as the ukes in this video. Check about 2:21, is that a lady giggling or is uke actually screaming like a girl?

Not no-touch. Much touch.Tapping abounds. Straight up what it says it is, aikido done with self defense in mind. I have personally used both techniques shown from :30-:45 against resistant, belligerent people who wanted to hit me. They work. His entry against a punch is a lot more functional then mine, though. I generally just perform the infamous hana-uke, gedan morote jodan kao uke, or hitai-itaiyo.

I'm not going to be the one to ask "where's the aiki" but I am curious as to whether you think this is actually Aikido or not. If so, why?
