Beyond ‘Tying people, not parcels’In my first shibari for beginners tutorials, ‘Japanese Rope Bondage: Tying people, not parcels’, my focus was on teaching simple bondage ties and how to perform them with connection. In this course, we develop this approach to learning Japanese rope bondage further by both simplifying the process by explaining the basic bondage building blocks and by teaching you how to use them to best effect. It is very different to any ‘paint by numbers’ approach that you might have encountered; this course distils years of practice, experience of teaching countless students how to tie and knowledge acquired from some of Japan’s most skilled nawashi. It brings you the information that really matters, without having to do years of study or find out through bitter experience. We believe these are the most complete shibari tutorials ever produced.Simple ‘ingredients’ based approachNina and I introduce powerful, yet very simple, techniques and ‘ingredients’ which will enable you to tie creatively, safely and, most importantly, with passion. This is far more valuable than merely showing the steps of a selection of set ties since as they say “It is better to teach a man to fish…”. So, you will be shown how to use basic ‘ingredients’ in practical examples and, through understanding them and their rules, it will become easy to build your own ties and avoid errors. Of course, in the process, you will learn many simple, and not so simple, bondage ties. If you thought shibari was complicated, you’ll be amazed how it is mostly variations on one simple ‘ingredient’!”I completed the course and loved how well the reasoning behind each movement was explained, rope efficiency and how the energy is transmitted through the rope. Its IMPRESSIVE!!! I can’t wait to complete the next 2 courses for the same subject and soon ALL the courses” – MyselfNew bonus contentWe have just added an extra 45 minutes of video tutorials to show you even more examples of how to put these ingredients into practice and create your own ties:15 simple ties using 1 & 2-column tiesChair tiesDeveloping the theme
