LA Rope Intensive: Newaza 101

Newaza a word often used to describe the “caressing style” of Yukimura ryuu.  As a school of kinbaku that focuses primarily on communication between partners, Yukimura ryuu explores the ways that rope can be used as a medium for that communication and how it can be an effective tool for creating emotional and psychological connections between partners.

This class focuses on three basic elements of Yukimura Ryu:  the basic wrist tie, the 1 and 2 rope gote, and basic leg ties.  We will introduce several basic kata or progressions that help understand how to build a rope scene and create a deeper connection between partners.
