It is interesting to break down these techniques. The kanji would be much help to get a more literal translation.

Happoken no kata - 8 sword movements

I have no idea what "sambo" means

Nigiri gaeshi - two cut turn away

BTW, Hijikudaki literally means "elbow crusher" and can be likened to rokkyo in some styles.

Of course, I could be way off base.

I find it interesting how different terminology for the same techniques can be so...well...different.

Just another thing that adds flavor to our Aikido.
