SUMMARY:Workshop Yukimura Ryu I - Michael Ropeknight
DESCRIPTION:Yukimura Haruki's philosophical approach to Shibari was unique in the japanese scene and was often referred to as „caressing rope“. We take a deeper look at the concepts of Semenawa and Aibunawa\, learn first basics of Yukimuras way of tying and experience its application.\n\nWe will give space to the introduction of a special mindset as well as possible approaches and behaviors in dealing with each other. Then we will use the patterns and procedures in order to use more complex "techniques". The main focus is on the generation of emotions through the "how" in the implementation of the bondage.\n\nDay 1:\n\nOn the first day\, participants will learn about the fundamental philosophical approaches of Yukimura Haruki's tying style. Ropeknight has further developed this style for the Western spirit\, making his own approaches\, building blocks and nuance accessible and easy to learn for both beginners and experienced tying couples.\n\nTerms such as Semenawa and Aibunawa will be analyzed\, and participants will learn their first basic ties.\n\nThe more experienced the tying partner\, the more they can focus on the nuances of working with the model.\n\nThe introduction of a special mindset\, as well as possible approaches and behaviors in the interaction between partners\, plays a significant role.\nThere will be ample opportunity for the further development of both partners' personas and their shared communication.\n\nDay 2:\n\nThe ties\, techniques and approaches developed on the first day will be used to explore more complex ties. The primary focus will be on evoking emotions through the how of implementing the ties.\nRequirements\nThis workshop is aimed at bondage couples who want to explore the world of Yukimura Ryu together. Since this is ultimately a world of eroticism\, there should be no fear of intimacy between the bondage partners.\n\nThe workshop can be visited by beginners to advanced participants.\n\nParticipants will need approximately 5 ropes (recommended rope length: 7-8 meters\, 4-5 mm in diameter).\n\nModels are encouraged to wear clothing with potential for exposure (e.g. no leggings and tights).\nAbout Ropeknight\nMichael Ropeknight had the opportunity to experience and learn different styles of Shibari during his various trips to Japan.\n\nHe studied under several well-known Bakushi and became an official student of Osada Steve\, who shortly thereafter introduced him to Yukimura Haruki Sensei.\n\nIn the following years\, Michael spent a great deal of time with these two masters\, studying their techniques and philosophies.\n\nYukimura Sensei and Osada Steve described his emotional abilities in dealing with his Shibari partners and his use of energetic components (Ki) as extraordinary. Not only because of these exceptional strengths did both masters honor him by appointing him as an official instructor of their styles.\n\nIn 2024\, Michael decided to retire as an official Osada-Ryu instructor\, as physical limitations no longer allowed him to teach suspensions at the highest level. Since then\, he has focused on his core competencies: deepened communication and personal development for all participants involved in rope. With this focus on Ropeknight’s Yukimura-Ryu\, Michael brings valuable insights into the emotional and mental connection between partners\, thus fostering the development of a mindful and conscious dynamic in Shibari.\n\nIn recent years\, Ropeknight has further developed the Yukimura-Ryu within a Western mindset\, making it a cornerstone in the training of rope enthusiasts around the world by incorporating his unique strengths and understanding of the human soul—just as Yukimura Sensei had expected of him.\n\nOther instructions\nLocation\nWorkshop is taking place in Prague near Anděl in Subspace studio.
