The basic scheme of shibari.
Single Column tie — the binding of one arm, leg or other extended object. This is the basic shibari harness. In the lesson, it will be disassembled in steps, with comments and variations, with usage tips.
The scheme of binding of two arms or legs.
Double Column tie — the second basic shibari binding used when tying two arms, legs, a bent leg or arm and any two extended objects. It is good to use the same basic scheme by tying an arm or leg to something solid (a chair, bamboo, headboard). In the lesson, it will be disassembled in steps, with comments and variations, with usage tips.
An important lesson in shibari training.
Rope control — rope control: one of the most important binding skills. This lesson tells about the need for proper tension and its constancy, to avoid torsion and crossing the rope, to control the running end. An exercise to develop the rope control skill is shown.
Learning the binding by extending the rope.
Tying the free part of the rope — continue to bind the rest of the rope, running end. In this lesson we learn how to create the simplest shibari bindings ( Single Column tie and Double Column tie ) while obtaining a single and more complex structure. We connect the simplest second-order shibari scheme.
Scheme of tying back arms tied to the chest.
This lesson is about Box tie — one of the most common shibari patterns, which has many names: box tie , gote, takate-kote, ushiro takatekote, 2TK, chest harness. In this scheme, the shibari hands are tied back at the wrists in a horizontal position and then tied to the chest with the shoulders grasped.
Bent leg binding patterns — futomo.
Futomomo variations — bending the bent leg: another of the most common shibari techniques. In this lesson, we’ll look at three different shibari patterns for tying a bent knee.
Tying the waist, pelvis and hips in a shibari.
Hip harness is another common shibari scheme. In this lesson we will consider one convenient and functional pattern.
Teppo and Wakizarashi shape
In this lesson, we will fix the skill of linking the simplest shibari patterns using a combination of basic patterns. Teppo is a harness in which one arm is laid behind the back from above and the other from below. A diagonal is formed behind the back, resembling a weapon placed behind the back. Teppo — in Japanese means a gun. Wakizarashi means arms folded behind the head. In Europe, this position is called the «rabbit» (bunny).
Other patterns of hand binding in shibari.
Additional lessons # 1 — in this lesson we’ll look at a few additional hand-binding patterns: «flute» (shakuhachi) and » strappado » (strappado) . The goal of this lesson is to consolidate the understanding and technique of linking the simplest patterns and using them in shibari.
Another way to tie your legs and hips.
In this lesson we will look at several additional schemes for tying the legs or hips. The goal of this lesson is to consolidate the understanding and technique of linking the simplest patterns and using them in shibari.
