Workshop: Kinbaku LuXuria Level #1 (SOLD OUT)

Kinbaku Nexus proudly presents Kurogami & Shiawase

In this course we will study the Gote in the style of Kinbaku LuXuria. We will explore how to build a solid structure, optimize its use in our bondage, and consider it as a starting point for a kinbaku session. We will create the initial ties, applying principles learned in the basic course and integrating them with new principles to enhance your bondage.

You will learn how to construct a suspension line and how to use it. We will perform exercises to demonstrate how to handle the body in a tie with two suspension lines. We will delve into the first iconic figures of the style, addressing both technical aspects and the sensations that can be conveyed when tying your partner.

The course is hands-on, with the majority of time devoted to practicing what is demonstrated.

WHO IS IT FOR?
This course is designed for those who have already started studying bondage. The basic requirement is to have attended the Kinbaku Essential course (our module “0”) or a basic course with another certified Kinbaku LuXuria instructor. Kinbaku Nexus reserves the right to admit participants who have not taken the basic course but can demonstrate a good level in the required prerequisites (double column tie, single column tie, suspension lines etc.).

Good manners, passion, and a willingness to learn are required for this workshop. For those who have attended our Class I in the past, this course is highly recommended, as we have updated our teaching with new exercises and interesting technical details aimed at enhancing your bondage experience!

STRUCTURE
The course takes place over two days, Saturday and Sunday, with 6 hours of instruction each day. There is a one-hour lunch break at midday, and it is advisable to arrive at least half an hour early.

• Ropes: You will need at least 8 ropes made of NATURAL FIBER, such as jute or hemp, with a length of 7-8m and a diameter of 5 or 6mm. The use of synthetic ropes of any kind or natural materials that are not robust, such as cotton or linen, is not allowed.
  
• Clothing: Comfortable/sporty clothing is recommended. Especially for those being tied, loose or bulky clothing is not advised.
  
• Photo/Video: Taking photos during exercise demos is allowed, but recording videos or audio is not permitted. Taking photos of your partner during exercises is allowed, respecting the privacy of other participants. Alternating with your partner during the workshop is not possible.

STYLE
The workshop is inspired by the style of Kinbaku LuXuria by Riccardo Sergnese (Wildties), ichi-ban deshii of Naka Akira. The style directly descends from Naka-Ryu (Akira Naka’s style) and is a careful reengineering, preserving the original and traditional spirit of Naka-san’s style while introducing technical innovations suitable for European culture and physique, with a particular emphasis on safety.

ABOUT THE EDUCATORS
Together since 2014, in September 2016, Kurogami and Shiawase began dedicating themselves to the study of kinbaku. In November of the same year, they attended their first course led by Riccardo. This encounter marked the beginning of an ongoing journey, filled with in-depth exploration, inspiration, and continuous research.

In February 2018, Andrea became a certified educator in Kinbaku LuXuria, fully embracing the educational values of Wildties. Today is among the few people in Europe recognised by Riccardo to teach the style.

Throughout the years, Kurogami and Shiawase actively participated in various kinbaku events in Italy and several European cities. They engaged as participants in jams, attended advanced courses led by Riccardo as students, and served as performers and educators in dedicated events. In 2019, Kurogami and Shiawase had the honor of tying at the 25th Nawa Naka Kai in Tokyo, alongside Riccardo and Naka-san.

Together they own and run Peony Studio in Turin, Italy.
