Our latest shibari tutorial for ShibariClasses.com is far more than a simple ‘paint by numbers’ futo momo, not only does it explore numerous forms of this versatile tie but it also teaches a wealth of tying techniques applicable to many situations. You will find familiar ‘ingredients’ being re-used which will reinforce and broaden your knowledge to allow you to tie creatively and intuitively.
This tutorial will be more a case of teaching you to fish, rather than simply presenting you with one. Basic ‘paint by numbers’ patterns have limited usefulness as the diameter tied can vary so much between individuals. This means you will always have the problem of too much or too little rope to exactly match such instructions. Nina shows you how to solve these problems and explains the engineering requirements that must be met for an efficient and effective tie. Once you understand these fundamentals, it becomes easy to find may ways to achieve your goal. You will certainly learn more variations and uses of this tie than you ever believed possible and be inspired to create your own
Topics covered include:
- Fast wrapping versions
- Single column bases
- Double column bases
- Building stems
- Suspension capable versions
- The ‘no-pinch cinch’
- Effective wrap positioning
- Efficient handling techniques
- Body control
The main videos run to nearly 90 minutes, that’s almost a full DVD, so you can begin to imagine the detail. We sincerely believe that this is the most comprehensive analysis of this tie ever and even experienced riggers will be amazed at discovering what they didn’t know they didn’t know 😉 I have yet to see an on-line tutorial that couldn’t be improved from learning from our video.
Whilst we include a short demonstration of a futo momo suspension, this is most definitely not a suspension tutorial. However, those who already have the appropriate skills will find some very useful information as we specifically cover versions suitable for suspension and the considerations involved. If you don’t have the skills, don’t worry, the more advanced versions can be used for floor-work too and are great practice for the future.The next plan is to produce a second part covering futo momo suspensions.
