Not exactly, this is a boken training ( wooden katana ) based on Iai- do or kendo moves. We have included a Haidong kata ( from Korea ) in our program:

Our art is named aikikempo, it' s a kempo with a maximum of aikido moves, in order to soften the fights, and open it to older or wounded people, like me. We include all weapons training, in that case, tambo ( short stick ) is very close to escrima. You know, in martial arts, you can run the world, you' ll find always the same moves, only words change, and style.

Hard to tell the specifics of a martial art just from a pic - thanks for the vid links.
Older and wounded - Sounds like me too. (Over the hill at 39 and on my last leg) I compete in some mma. MuayThai and Sambo is my primary mix (Fascinated with Systema as well and want to learn more of its dynamics) My primary discipline came from TKD, but it is not the most effective art in the ring.
Saw you on Flickr - open for you to have a look now [link]

The cap hides long hair, she is a tall woman, and very sick this morning, hard for her to concentrate.
The purpose of this training was only to repeat moves, details will follow, and she is a beginner in saber techniques., so .....
At 50 +, with knees troubles, she does it pretty well.

That's a lady? Oops lol, hard to tell with the cap and clothes... plus the picture isn't big enough to see her face...
That explains the trouble she's having with the pose.

No offense, she is a real pretty woman. You can see her at the kyusho training:
