Shibari Workshop Cape Town: TK I (Takate Kote)

The Takate Kote or 'TK', sometimes also called Gote or box-tie, is beautiful, elegant and iconic. At this workshop you will learn this fundamental hands-behind-the-back tie, a cornerstone of Japanese rope bondage. The simple design betrays the technical details required to tie it well. When incorporating the TK, every part of this tie is essential to the success and safety of your bondage experience.

Learning this fundamental tie opens your Shibari practice up to a world of possibility - it has most of the technical components of common ties (frictions, correct tension, lock-offs) allowing for translation of the skills you gain here into other areas of your practice. If tied without precise attention to rope tension and placement it can be a high risk tie. Learning the correct method for this tie and also understanding the upper arm nerve locations will give you the competence to practice with more safety and accuracy.
