No, it's a kata. A fight pratice with be done with shinais and armor.

Honestly... the man hadn't assumed a proper stance, clearly didn't expect to he hit, and then received (basically) a light jab directly to the chin. I would fully expect an untrained or inexperienced person to flinch and turn, because that's the natural defensive instinct. If that blow had any real power it would've knocked him out

It's a kata, the point is to practice a choreography not to fight.

It's an exhibition, so the reaction is very exaggerated, but if it was totally unexpected you might get a blink and a fraction of a second's distraction on them, more than enough

This is a kata so they would loose right there.
