ABOUT
Michael Ropeknight ties with rope since his teens and has later on been able to experience different styles of Shibari on various journeys to Japan. He studied with several well-known japanese and western Bakushi before becoming an official student of Osada Steve in 2012. Osada Steve was also the one who introduced him early on to Yukimura Haruki Sensei as he felt their way of communication is quite similar.
As an official instructor in both styles Ropeknight combines the schools of Yukimura-Ryu and Osada-Ryu in an undogmatic way. The key elements of his style are intention and empathy as well as his use of energetic components (Ki). By approaching his model in a creative and powerful, yet calm and deeply emotional way, Michael gives these styles an independent touch.
As the owner of the Fourelements Kinbaku Lounge, he regularly organizes events for beginner to advanced level since 2014 and is travelling to teach in workshops and private lessons.

Introduction to Yukimura Ryu II (2days)
This workshop is a follow up to “Introduction to Yukimura Ryu I”.
We repeat and dig deeper in in already learnt patterns and use them to develop further philosophies of the “caressing rope” style of Yukimura Haruki.
In addition to new bondage patterns, japanese aesthetics of forms are also given more space. We expand our approach to rope with scenarios, roles and face the term “tension” on various levels. The main focus lies on the generation of emotions through the “how” in the implementation of the restraints.
The understanding of the roles of both bondage parties will be sharpened over the weekend, while our behaviour and actions apart from the rope itself become an integral part of the tying expericence .
Requirements:
This workshop is aimed at those couples that want to dig deeper into the world of Yukimura Ryu. Since this is ultimately a world of eroticism, there should be no fear of intimacy between the bondage partners.
The workshop can be visited by beginners to advanced participants.
It makes sense for the model to wear clothing with “potential for exposure” (e.g. dress, no leggings, no tights).
Max. 7 ropes are required – recommended rope: 6mm or less
