This video is based on the 13th Jo Suburi - Katate Hachi No Ji Gaeshi, meaning one handed figure eight strike. This is from the 11-13 Katate No Bu (One Handed Series).

The sequence shows the Suburi done on both sides twice. The clip is then repeated in slow motion at 50%.

Morihiro Saito Sensei is known for his technical Aikido and emphasis on the basics. Iwama style of Aikido is based on Saito Sensei's teachings which includes Jojutsu (short staff techniques).
