I stumbled on this video on YouTube. It looks like it was made in the 1950s or 1960s. Is this Iaido? That was my uninformed guess. There was no description and the comments from others on YouTube were not helpful. I appreciate the insight of anyone better versed than I.

Yes, specifically this is part of the Iai curriculum of Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō Ryū. In addition to sword, this system has forms for bo, naginata, spear, shuriken, and jujutsu. A list of the curriculum can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenshin_Shōden_Katori_Shintō-ryūThere is a documentary about this school that was filmed by the BBC in the 1980's called The Way of the Warrior : The Samurai Way that can be found on YouTube at this channel (look under playlists): youtube.com/user/TheSamuraiWorkshop
