We are passionate about Kinbaku (緊縛), which means “tight binding. It is used as a synonym for Japanese, erotic, rope bondage. Often the term Shibari (縛り), which means decorative tying, is used interchangeably.

For us, as a couple tying together for more than 10 years now, it is a personal, intimate journey.We use „Kinbaku“ for our rope work, as we like to cherish the Japanese roots of what we practice as well as emphasize eroticism, emotionality, and the “tight” commitment the two partners make to each other when entering a Kinbaku scene.

We founded the Kinbaku Society of Berlin as a forum to research the different streams that lead to the underground culture of Kinbaku, we work on photography, video and life performance. We also publish a magazine collecting these different formats for a wider fanbase. We offer a wide range of education for models and riggers.

Our bondage coaching and education offer

As experienced rope bondage practitioners with a background in somatic bodywork and martial arts, we offer bondage and kink education to interested individuals, couples and groups. Our aim is to teach both partners equally – with complementary content. We teach the riggers to improve their bondage skills and the rope bottoms to realize their best individual experience in the rope. We also cover safety on and off the rope, polarity in relationships, power exchange and consent.

We are based in Berlin where we are available for one-on-one coaching, private lessons and small group workshops at our studio 6×6. We are open to invitations to interested communities.

Coaching & Classes

Alexanders’ background as a scientist and Martial Arts practitioner as well as his teaching experience from his day job feed into our methods for rope education. Alexander offers his fast experience in the form of private tuition, coaching or mentoring, and as individual or (small) group classes. Together we coach couples in togetherness and communication in ropes, and to advance their skills in sessions that include power exchange and surrender. Also, we have workshop offers for event organisers, communities or venues. We teach students on all levels: from absolute beginners to advanced students.

Somatics for Rope Bottoms

Bringing together her love for Kinbaku with her professional background in Sexological Bodywork, Natasha developed a structure for rope bottoms to deepen their experience in ropes and make it more internal, conscious, and safe. In 2020 she published a book: Somatics for Rope Bottoms.  It is for people who like being in ropes and want to grow and improve their experience. On her webpage, you will find their writings related to different aspects of rope bottoming and/or Somatics, downloadable resources, workshops/coaching offer, and links to other practitioners.
