Nikyo - The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique

The Aiki Dojo 2 Minute Technique - Nikyo
The only joint lock you will ever need.
Ito Sensei demonstrates Nikyo kotemawashi (二教小手回し). The first line of defense for any Aikidoist are joint locks and Nikyo is the gold standard technique. Nikyo is the most versatile but yet effective joint lock that is the easiest to learn. All frontal attacks are either gyaku hanmi (逆半身) or “opposite hand” grab same side or ai hanmi (相半身) or “same hand” opposite side and from this video one can see how easy Nikyo is to execute. In olden times, a samurai wore a sword and so attackers had to be able to immobilize the samurai’s drawing hand in order to successfully defeat him. So a samurai would have to be able to defend their right or drawing hand from an arresting grab. Thus, the easiest technique would be Nikyo done with one hand. Doing sword work makes the samurai’s hands strong and so they’d be able to execute a joint lock with just one hand. Nikyo can be done from any attack.
Sometimes there's no time to read a lengthy message or watch a long documentary. So we've created these quick and easy 2 minute techniques to help you improve your Aikido technique and knowledge. Keep an eye out for them every Wednesday.
Enjoy!

I have heard of some people who are immune to nikyo. Still I was doing some shadow practice of nikyo (moving my hands as if I were applying nikyo to a partner) walking around earlier today.

[@AikidoCenterLA]

It is true. 20 years ago we had a police officer in our dojo that no joint lock would work on. He was "triple jointed" and no joint lock or nerve attack worked on him. It was bizarre.

Then st home you were "having sex" moving your hands as if you had a partner

[@mraffabilityGB]

There is a counter.

Aikido is lethal for the one walking the streets thinking this bs would actually save you from a dangerous situation.
