Tuesday Topic: Shibari learning
Tuesday Topic: Shibari learning
In an effort to make this more of a community than a Tumblr-copy, I'm inviting us all to create more posts with questions, discussion and all the other goodness we can share with each other.
As such I'd like to propose a topic that's dear to me:
Shibari learning.
How did you learn what you know about Shibari? How would you have wished to learn?
Is there difference in playing with someone with formal learning vs not?
What did you learn from formal learning? What are you missing/insecure about from your informal learning?
Feel free to tackle one or more of the questions, as well as take a few minutes to interact with others.
You're viewing a single thread.
Goid idea. Unfortunately I don't have a lot to contribute.
I guess, most of what I know about rope bondage and shibari is on The Duchy. I would appreciate any other good resources.
How do you feel about learning from The Duchy? Are you learning what you wish to learn? Or are you perhaps too new or overwhelmed to really have thought about what you want?
As for other resources, there are books, sites with or without videos, community, teachers, camps, courses and much more. Is there a medium you prefer?
For online resources I like shibari-study.com. I've learnt from and with several of the teachers and can't recommend them enough, they have the knowledge and skills to know what to present, how and in what order for you to build both skill and insight, and also they're fantastic human beings with a deep care for the Shibari community both locally and globally.
I like the combination of videos and pictures at The Duchy. The video helps me to understand it and the pictures are good as a reference when I'm practicing. I would say that I'm pretty happy with learning frim The Duchy. So far I have only looked at the leasons that are available for free, but if I stay interested, I might pay to get access to all the lessons.
Thanks for the recommendation, i will check out shibari-study.
