Archaic battlefield rope arrest skills, attitudes, approaches and ties of Japan

Limited to 20 participants.

Skill level: beginners  - to advanced
('Bight Me' is recommended - http://www.strangertickets.com/events/19144525/restrained-convictions-1)

During the Sengoku (Warring States) period of Japan circa 1467–1603, capturing prestigious adversaries on the field of battle was often a dangerous, difficult extremely advantageous and often profitable (thus encouraged) undertaking.

Structured around a relaxed yet formal dojo atmosphere - participants will expand on fundamental techniques and approaches laid down in 'Bight ME' and advance into more elaborate material at the gritty edge of battlefield rope restraint. Each tie will be demonstrated by the instructor and partner as kata (pre-arranged form).

Instructors note: A willingness to both tie and be tied will be instrumental in more fully apprehending and appreciating the techniques, however those who only wish to tie may certainly attend with a bottom/partner.

What to wear, comfortable relaxed fit clothing suitable for ground tying. Other reqs: Ties are best made with natural fiber ropes, participants who have them should bring along a single 30'(10m) by 1/4"(5mm to 7mm) jute or hemp rope suitable for use with shibari/kinbaku.

30' (10meter) jute ropes crafted by the instructor will be available for sale.

Cost at the door: $30.

About the Instructor:

Movement arts educator, body-burn specialist, and occasional stuntman - Eric J. (FuriousBuddha) enjoys splicing together his many years of studying archaic Japanese martial arts and ways with a long-time passionate fascination for occult esoterica and the beguiling coils of erotic rope bondage.
