Welcome to the heart of Basel! Our charming studio is just a 5-minute walk from Basel SBB train station and 30 minutes from the airport.

Hashira or binding to a vertical post, is one of the most deeply rooted techniques in traditional Japanese Shibari. In Japan’s historical houses, beams and vertical posts were central elements of architecture, shaping not only the structure but the very essence of the space. This architecture inspired the unique rope practice of binding to a vertical post — the Hashira.

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.

Crabties are a bit of a unique proposition. They are part upper body and part lower body tie. You have to adapt to them, creating very different scenarios in comparison to more conventional structures. And exactly this is what makes them so interesting.
We will address anatomical and safety concerns and guide you through semi suspensions. Additionally we'll give some pointers on balancing these challenging shapes
Shinless futomomo
Over Dolfs years of tying he encountered many tying partners who had persistent shinpain in futomomo and weren't able to sustain them. Fem was initially able to be in futomomo when she started tying but has overtime lost the ability to be in them. Therefore they started labbing and experimenting with alternatives. After a period of trial and error they've found a suitable option that avoids the shin and functions like a regular futomomo. This pattern will be the focus of this workshop.
