Workshop Focus

The Erotic Shibari style: Sekibaku centers on fulfilling the erotic desire—both individual and shared—of both participants, the one tying and the one being tied, keeping them on an equal plane of power at all times.

Since no two erotic experiences are identical, there’s no reason for any two workshops to be the same either. That’s why we limit each workshop to a single couple or a small group, allowing us to tailor the teaching as closely as possible to each case.

This workshop encourages participants to prioritize their own individual erotic experience, using personal responsibility as the tool that shapes the flow of the session.

We Work Across Three Technical Areas

  • Kyosho-gaku (急所学): Concepts, processes, and techniques drawn from various disciplines that help us improve communication around erotic interaction and better understand what’s happening in the other person—and in ourselves.
  • Taijutsu (體術): The study of body mechanics applied to erotic shibari, so you learn how to use both bodies with intention and efficiency.
  • Nawasuji (縄筋): Rope in the service of desire. In this style, rope technique isn’t about executing figures, reproducing patterns, or memorizing sequences: the rope is a tool for managing the tied person’s erotic desire from within their own body.

We apply the #MSAFE methodology to all our courses, which allows us to adapt them to each couple.

Instructors

  • Ryuan: Certified instructor in Yagami Ryu
  • Patri: Psychologist and functional training instructor, LYT Method®

About the Couple

Because this is a style of shibari focused on erotic experience, and because the teaching system involves both participants developing the technique together, it’s advisable that those enrolling share some kind of relationship that will allow them to keep developing—together, after the workshop—the techniques and concepts covered in class.

Group Participation

In addition to enrolling as a couple, the workshop also offers the option to enroll as a group. This group is limited to a maximum of 3 couples, who enroll and attend together.

Teaching Method

#MSAFE (Make Shibari Accessible For Everyone) is our dojo’s own pedagogical method. It’s not a collection of isolated techniques, but a progressive, structured process that integrates knowledge from psychology, sexology, anatomy, and biomechanics in service of technical shibari learning. Its application is adapted to each couple, respecting their pace, prior experience, and particular circumstances.
