Japanese-English shibari glossary: Suwariwaza (座り技). Floor techniques with the body seated or kneeling: martial origins and the activation they demand.

Suwariwaza —or what could be called sit-jutsu— essentially refers to the set of martial techniques performed from a seated position, such as agura, or kneeling, such as seiza.

It is a term from the Japanese martial arts.

It may seem a more comfortable application but, done correctly, it is even harder than standing techniques, since it requires a high degree of activation and management of balance and the center of gravity, in positions associated with rest.
