Aikido Suwari Waza Ikkyo

This page provides details for Aikido Suwari Waza Ikkyo or the sitting version of Ikkyo. Suwari Waza are techniques that Samurai used to defend themselves if they were attacked in a seated or kneeling position (i.e. defend against a sword strike from a seated position). These Aikido sitting techniques are variations of basic Aikido standing techniques (i.e. Aikido Ikkyo).
