Study of the armbinder
We will approach the study of an armbinder from a practical and theoretical point of view, outlining its mechanical features.
THE ARMBINDER
We will show the basic pattern of an armbinder and outline its structure. We will see together different versions to better suit the arms of the person we are tying up. At least two different patterns will be taught for more and less flexible shoulders.
APPLICATION
If the conditions allow it, we will include a practical exercise to allow the attendees to experience the mechanical response of the armbinder under stress.
The class will include a challenging and/or semi-suspension exercise based on the harness analyzed during the class and depending on the level and interests of the partiipants.
PREREQUISITES
Tops:
Solid TK – any style
Smooth and safe suspension lines management
Confidence in (semi-)suspension sessions
Bottoms:
Feeling comfortable being tied in a gote
Understanding the difference between comfortable and sustainable, and willingness to explore both
Ability to self monitor nerve compression and bloodflow restriction.
WHAT TO BRING?
A minimum of 12 jute or hemp ropes, 5 or 6mm diameter and 7-8 meters long.
We invite the participants to be dressed in the way they feel comfortable with while tying. However, as many exercises will also focus on aesthetics we invite bottoms to be dressed up with something they would feel at ease during a session.

ABOUT Kirigami & Tenshiko
Kirigami and Tenshiko are a couple both in ropes and in life.
They have been teaching and performing in different European cities since 2012. In 2016 they opened School of Rope Milano, where they teach traditional bondage three times a week to local students and foreign visitors.
In 2023 they started a collaboration with Sugiura Norio Sensei, involving the organization of an international workshop, as well as the production and distribution of photographic contents, both online and on printed editions. In the same year they were invited to teach in Latin America and Australia.
Their rope is inspired by the most traditional Japanese style bondage, with an eclectic approach encompassing both private sessioning and photography.
