His influences include Kinoko Hajime, Kazami Ranki, WkyD-Dave and Esinem but he very much has his own unique style, which is both dramatic and hard. Riccardo lives and breathes kinbaku dedicating immense amounts of time to study and practice.
Prior to moving to France, he was a teacher in Rome’s first bondage school, Itoh Seiyu, led by Stefano Laforgia. He was the first Italian rigger to be listed on Nawapedia, the Wikipedia of Japanese Bondage.
Wildties has performed throughout Europeand will be on stage at this year’s London Festival of Japanese Rope Bondage and of course at BOUND.
On Saturday 4 August, there will be an unique to participate in Wildties’ first UK master class at a fee of £100 per couple (rigger + model) to be held at a south London venue. The class will cover:
Advanced suspension techniques
This class will explore methods of reducing the effort required to make suspensions and incredibly visual transitions. You will also learn how to move from intricate suspension patterns on the floor and lift your model easily when the rope-work is finished. These techniques are extremely beneficial for anyone not working with a feather-weight model and also minimize the risk of rope breaks due the ‘sawing effect’.
Teppo yokozuri (sideway suspension in gun carrying position)
A very visual and beautiful yokozuri (sideways suspension) version of teppo (gun carrying position). Using only two wraps of rope to support the chest and the characteristic arm positions makes this a very unusual and dramatic tie.
