Here is a revealing photo from Morihei Ueshiba’s 1938 technical manual “Budo” where the Founder is applying nikyo — nikajo in the prewar era — while stepping on uke’s foot! This is a very effective method for further immobilizing your partner when apply a technique. O-Sensei later abandoned this jujutsu-like manuever and adopted our modern form of nikyo. This is explained by Morihiro Saito Sensei in his book “Takemusu Aikido Special Edition.”
