Aikido Suwari Waza Nikyo

This page provides details for Aikido Suwari Waza Nikyo or the sitting version of Nikyo. 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 Nikyo).
