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.
The combination of rope and bamboo in shibari provides interesting opportunities.
In this lesson, we will consider three main areas of using bamboo:
— as part of a bond to strengthen it and, including, create an additional load-bearing structure;
— as a support for fixing in certain poses (analogue of blocks and struts);
— as a suspension point, allowing to solve spatial problems and create aesthetic poses.
Let’s start the lesson by looking at two basic ways to attach bamboo to the human body.
Shibari chest harness V-type TK. This scheme is one of the classic and famous in old stile shibari. It is useful to study this scheme in order to understand how progress has been made in the development of chest harness. Moreover, this pattern is still quite relevant, has passed the test of time and not so long ago received a «second life», thanks to the surge in interest in Europe just in time for the classic shibari.
Diamond shibari pattern with takate kote.
In this video tutorial, we study the chest harness in which Box ties are combined with characteristic parallel girths of rope above and below the chest and a diamond-shaped pattern called «hishi». As part of the course, this is the first and easiest shibari scheme using this pattern. Here, the methods of linking the classic Box tie with the addition of a rhombic pattern will be fixed. The pattern with the elements of the rhombus by the Japanese is called Hishi (diamond), since it is similar to the crystal shape of this precious mineral.
A chest harness lesson with a beautiful pattern. Another combination of a chest harness pattern with hands tied behind the back and a diamond pattern (heshi). The pattern with the elements of the rhombus by the Japanese is called Hishi (diamond), since it is similar to the crystal shape of this precious mineral. It also looks like the leaf shape of a water chestnut plant. Sometimes this form of the pattern is called «fish», because it resembles scales. This lesson will show you an interesting and frequently used way of creating a diamond-shaped pattern and implementing the idea of non-closed working tours of shibari strapping.
Beautiful chest harness with diamond pattern.
Another combination of chest harness with hands tied behind the back and a diamond pattern (heshi). The pattern with the elements of the rhombus by the Japanese is called Hishi (diamond), since it is similar to the crystal shape of this precious mineral. It also looks like the leaf shape of a water chestnut plant. Sometimes this form of the pattern is called «fish», because it resembles scales. In this lesson we will look at another commonly used approach to creating a hishi shibari scheme — through the cross nodes and the body girths of the “drawing” rope. This scheme can be used to bind the hips or bent legs or completely “dress” the model in “scales”. This lesson is interesting in that we immediately get a working Box tie (Gote shibari).
Non-standard scheme of chest harness with hishi.
A variant of the chest harness combined with the pattern of «hishi», but the shoulders are connected from the back. Those. there are no TK tours in front of the model. For this, the harness is called the prefix «hojo» — in honor of hojojutsu (the art of combat use of rope). In this lesson, we will look at how you can still tie your shoulders in the gote position. This will help you diversify your practices and learn other ways to create working shibari tours.
Quick release TK shibari pattern.
In this lesson, I propose to learn a harness that is removed with one movement of the hand. The basis of the harness is a rope that goes from the hands and becomes the core on which work tours are always typed in the opposite direction. When the harness is ready, just pull out the «rod» and the circuit breaks up, freeing the model. Using this system, you can build strapping in other places of the model.
Static side suspension
With this lesson, I propose to start learning to practice suspending in shibari. Here we repeat the shibari scheme for linking the chest and legs, consider a simple scheme for tying the thigh. The main thing in this lesson is the skill of softly bringing the model into suspension and working with the center of gravity.
Face-down static suspension.
With this lesson, we continue our training in the practice of suspending in shibari. Here we repeat the shibari scheme for binding the chest and legs. The main thing in this lesson is the skill of softly bringing the model into suspension and working with the center of gravity.
