Kazami Ranki 2018

The head of the Kazami-Ryu school of Shibari is coming back to Sydney this year, and will be conducting workshops and private lessons at Studio Kink.

Kazami

Famously known as the Atrocious Nawashi, Kazami Ranki's Kinbaku show truly highlights the spirit of the woman in her tied element.

Studio Kink is excited that Miss Gen will be assistant teacher and interpreter for Kazami Ranki's Sydney 2018 workshops. Miss Gen is an officially licenced Kazami-Ryu instructor fluent speaker of the Japanese language. She has extensive experience tying with and translating for a number of great teachers to visit Australia from Japan.

Thistlebird

We are happy to announce that Thistlebird will be modelling for the Kazami Ranki workshops.

Thistlebird has been involved in the Newcastle rope community since 2013 as a rope bottom, workshop model and rigger. She enjoys exploring unique and unusual dynamics in and out of rope, and especially enjoys the opportunities for connection and growth offered by a challenging rope session.

Classes

Friday Night Class

Friday 31st August 6pm-9pm

Friday evening class shall be the Mununawa (TK) Class. This is the standard variation and the basis of all Kazami-Ryu Shibari.

Even if you have studied this Munenawa before, it is highly recommended to get a refresher in this class with the master himself.

Often referred to as the most comfortable TK by some of the worlds top Shibari models, the Kazami Munenawa owes its strength and stability to the solid stem structure.

This class is open to all levels of Rigger who have completed a a beginners level course. If you are unsure then please speak to a Studio Kink Team member. You will need a minimum of three hanks of a natural fibre rope like jute, and must attend as a tying couple. Singles are unfortunately not accommodated for.

Miss Gen will be assisting and interpreting for Kazami-Sensei throughout the class.
