Shibari: The easy way (special bundle) (con subtítulos en español)

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 approach

Nina 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" - Myself

It's not what you do but the way that you do it

The magic is not in the ties, however. Like any 'recipe', it is how those ingredients are used and presented. In shibari, ties might be very pretty but, for your partner, it is all about how you apply the rope and what this says to them. As many Japanese sensei have said: The rope is a tool of communication, an extension of your hands and, I like to add, your will. Sadly, these are skills rarely learned until quite an advanced stage. However, we believe that they are the essence and magic of shibari so should be introduced as a starting point. For this reason, we will be helping your master these vital foundations so your tying will have an emotional and physical effect from day one. Why wait years to achieve that? The 4-part bundled 'Tying Techniques' series reveals those secrets in over 4 hours of in-depth tutorials.

"I just wanted to extend a warm thank you from both myself and Minervamedica for your WONDERFUL content on shibariclasses.com It has been a truly amazing resource for us for us to learn and practice with. Of course we know it does not replicate one-on-one in person instruction...but the bang for buck cannot be understated..so we are deeply appreciative of all the work you and Nina Russ have put into this. And of course all the lovely bottoms". - Diespater & Minervamedica
