As you might have heard, I’m setting up a ‘Virtual Dojo’ where you can participate in live on-line classes either as a group or individually for personal mentoring regardless of where you are, so long as you have an Internet connected PC with web cam and headset (below for exact specifications). I will be running …
Everyone is rushing headlong into suspension these days and sadly this often means that the vital knowledge, which makes for safe(r) and more elegant suspensions, is often skimped along the way. It seems very few are aware of the nuances that make all the difference, things like the angle of the rope making the difference between snagging and a clean movement. …
Here’s something for you to try at home. Pah! It might look really clever and dangerous but anyone who has a motorbike can do these stunts with a couple of hours practice and no formal tuition. Trust me 😉 How hard can it be? It all seems pretty straight forward, you just point your bike …

Anyway, this Saturday there will be a beginners’ class for those who want to tie and connect with rope using Japanese techniques by Esinem and Nina Russ. …
By popular demand, group classes are back. Over the past couple of months, we have been inundated with private classes and various projects. These include, in addition to the usual shoots and web related stuff, preparing material for an exhibition with a prominent photographer, some major software upgrades to cope with the growing success of …
I will be offering 33% off the rates for Virtual Dojo personal shibari tuition to make up for the wait in getting this project going. What can I say? I know it has been ages since I first mentioned this but, due to some technological nightmares and a few other little interferences like LFAJRB, the …
If you have looked at my shop and tuition pages recently, you might have noticed that I have been purging PayPal from my site and instead implementing Google checkout.
