Yukimura Harukis philosophical approach to Shibari was unique in the japanese scene and was often referred to as „caressing rope“. We take a quick glimpse at the concepts of Semenawa and Aibunawa, learn first basics of Yukimuras way of tying and experience its application.
We will give space to the introduction of a special mindset as well as possible approaches and behaviors in dealing with each other.
Level: Workshop is suitable for anyone with basic knowledge of tying. Single and Double column ties are required.
Bring with you:
-
- Ropes – four or five ropes. Suitable length is 7,5-8 meters. There will be ropes to buy on spot. If you are not sure which are suitable and how much are they, you can visit our rope eshop www.provazem.cz or send us a message. Ropes will be available to borrow too.
About Ropeknight
Michael Ropeknight was able to experience and get to know different styles of Shibari on various trips to Japan. He studied with various well-known Bakushi before finally becoming an official student of Osada Steve. It was he who introduced him to Yukimura Haruki Sensei. In the following years MIchael spent a lot of time with these two masters and studied their techniques and philosophies.
Yukimura Sensei and Osada Steve describe his emotional abilities in dealing with his bondage partners and his use of energetic components (Ki) as extraordinary. It was not only because of these special strengths that both masters honored him to teach their styles as an official instructor. His appointment as a licensed Osada Ryu instructor illustrates the development of this bondage style from a technical to a comprehensive teaching system that focuses on communication and the actual bondage partners.
Ropeknight combines the major bondage schools of Yukimura Ryu and Osada Ryu in an undogmatic way. Through his creative and powerful, with a great deal of emotional depth, he gives these styles an independent touch.
As the owner of the Fourelements Kinbaku Lounge, he regularly organizes events for beginners and advanced learners and can be booked for workshops and individual lessons.
