No the guy sucks.Withhold your judgment for a year or so. He just saw the light recently (after a few decades of mandancing). If he's really astute, he'll train his physical athleticism (which a certain level is needed to be barely competent in frontal violence). If he doesn't show improvement after that, you can write him off.
He's better suited for needle point.
It would be cool if @EDGM I think that's his tag would take a look at that guy. He's trained a bunch of Aikido from a school back in MA that had some crossover with our Judo club. I think he said his technique developing IQ helped him reach BJJ Purple in a couple of years...something like that.... The Nage No Kata was developed at the request of Kano Sensei by Tomiki Sensei and added to the Kodokan, so at one time it had a ton of quality. The guy I trained with is a dual Judo/Aikido BB and has super slick Ukemi and Waza and he doesn't do all the stiff formal stuff for his Nage No Kata, he just walks you down so you have to attack. I know that doesn't count, but I can't see Jessie bumbling around like that YT guy in a no gi grappling match. He falls over without even being taken down like he has no sense of where his balance is!
I did a curiosity binge to see if there was any MMA Aikido and these guys from England came up. I guess the art isn't all twirling around breaking peoples wrists in huge dramatic throws with cat like smoothness, but maybe a type of Jui Jitsu philosophy of maximum efficiency with the least amount of energy like theJudo Nage No Kata. Looks like the Ellis guys from England have translated Aikido into a MMA system and this kid looks a billion times more capable than that bumbling YT guy.
