it looks like Aikido with weapons to me
There’s naginata on the background and no naginata in aikido. Only bokken and jo (although there are bo kata created by Morihei Ueshiba, never seen them though)

Thru a Dutch site I was set thru to this which explains some more, interesting reading but it doesn't speak about other weapons but then this also is about the iaido side.
This Shinkage ryu iaido branch isn’t mainstream Yagyu Shinkage, but a legit offspring. They are a part of the ZNKR, that’s all I know about them. Joris van Nispen runs Shinkage iai in the Netherlands. Nice guy and pretty good.

Lars, just contact him or one of his students (use their new site, the structure of the organisation has changed a lot).
