A little tip to seiza, put ALL of your weight on your right foot, bend your left knee, and slowly go down. Put more weight on the calf/shin rather than your knees. Then put your right leg down.

Try to have your feet point "inwards", rather than "outwards". It helps a lot. I try to "practice" seiza - just sit at home in seiza once in a while and get used to it. I've done like 30 minutes, tops. Need MORE KENDO!

I try that, am going to spend a little time per day sitting on the floor when watching tv, am going to try crosslegs first, then when am used to sitting like that again since it hurts to even do that, going to move onto seiza, at the moment, my main problem is that I just can't bend or sit down on my legs, am still sitting up bending forward, many of the others had the same problems through they could do it better.

There is nothing wrong with me, just haven't moved like that since 2002.
