Welcome to the Aikido Virtual Dojo, where we are dedicated to providing you with in-depth tutorials on various Aikido techniques. In this video, we will be focusing on three fundamental techniques: Nikyo, Sankyo, and Kotegaeshi sitting pins.
Nikyo, Sankyo, and Kotegaeshi are essential techniques in Aikido that involve controlling and immobilizing an opponent through joint locks and pins. These techniques are not only effective for self-defense but also promote the principles of harmony and redirection that are at the core of Aikido.
We will begin by exploring Nikyo, which translates to “second teaching.” Nikyo involves applying pressure to an opponent’s wrist, which affects the ulnar nerve and causes immense pain, forcing them to submit or immobilizing them. Our expert instructor will break down the precise hand placement, body positioning, and principles behind Nikyo, ensuring a thorough understanding of the technique.
Moving on to Sankyo, which means “third teaching,” we will delve into a technique that targets the opponent’s wrist joint, applying a rotational lock that controls their entire arm. Our instructor will guide you through the steps of executing Sankyo effectively, emphasizing the importance of blending with your opponent’s energy and redirecting their attack.
Finally, we will explore Kotegaeshi, which translates to “wrist return.” Kotegaeshi involves utilizing a wrist twist to redirect an opponent’s attack and bring them into a controlled pinning position. Our instructor will demonstrate the proper wrist manipulation and body movement required to execute Kotegaeshi efficiently, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Throughout this video, our instructor will provide insightful commentary, sharing valuable tips and tricks to enhance your understanding and execution of these techniques. Additionally, they will highlight common mistakes to avoid, enabling you to refine your technique and achieve a higher level of proficiency.
Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this video is designed to cater to all skill levels. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a comprehensive understanding of Nikyo, Sankyo, and Kotegaeshi sitting pins, allowing you to incorporate them seamlessly into your Aikido practice.
