Now if that guy took on a young in shape Aikido guy, then it would be interesting.

I agree with Tony.
I was once "a young in shape Aikido guy" but didn't have the discipline to stick with it for the 30 years or so it takes to become "good" at Aikido - and I (at 6'2 and 200 lbs fighting weight) had my ass handed to me more than once by a small and humble "weak old man" whose slightest touch felt like I was being hit with a sledge hammer, so I'm not about to discount what is happening in the 'no touch' videos.
