It’s BOUND tonight and here’s a video of past events

Don’t forget that it’s BOUND tonight at The Flying Dutchman! Although advance tickets have gone, there are still some on the door.

Now for something completely different, here’s an unusual edit of Nina tying MaYa. It was shot before we upgraded the stage and décor. It reminds me what an amazing improvement this made.  There might be a few more changes tonight as we have massive amounts of fabric and some extra panels after The  Love Nest Ball.

Rope: Having a bit on the side

As we all know from experience, rope comes in two lengths: Just a bit to short or a little too long. So what do we do when ones model is not a perfect two rope TK or whatever? Have a bit on the side! A bit of rope I mean but I guess a spare rope ...

I did a couple of rough tests with Nina today but even with her 39kg, it was almost impossible to do repeatable slow smooth lifts. However, I was able to get some fairly consistent load readings in spite of this.

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. ...

Nerves: Proof that we are all different

A variation of the branching of the radial nerve I have always reminded people of the very obvious fact that we are all different, nerve paths and sensitivity being no exception. Here’s an medical article based on a dissection that proves just how different we can be. Not for the squeamish as it is well illustrated!

In fact, she might easily have caused you to fail to notice Bob She is undoubtedly very distracting and it is easy to see why she is a premier league latex, fetish and bondage model.

A lot has been going on behind the scenes here recently IT-wise. Due to the growing sales at my eBay Rope Shop and Amazon store, my days have been filled increasingly with tying parcels, at the expense of tying people. Whilst it provides the ‘nawa-soup’ as Steve-san calls it, it is not what my vision ...

If you have been following my recent posts, you will know that I have been checking out the loads created during suspensions and the effect it has on rope. The more tests I do, the more worrying the conclusions. I have recently discovered what a significant part the ‘pulley’, i.e. the carabiner or ring that you use ...

In line with my claims of being “only human” and being prepared to admit my mistakes, I accept the initial tests were inaccurate due to stupidly measuring the load between the fixed point and the carabiner, not between winch and ‘biner. OK, it’s official, I’m an idiot! At least, I spotted it before anyone else pointed it ...

What was my light-bulb moment in learning shibari?

During interviews, I am inevitably asked how I learned shibari. Well, like a lot of people, I took a few classes, bought Midori’s book and made the mistake of indiscriminately trawling the Internet for information guided by a complete lack of knowledge. Of course, you must remember that this was during the early days of the ...
