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.
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.
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.
