Syllabus of the Online Erotic Shibari Course
Shibari Dojo | Yagami Ryu
The course consists of six live classes (5+1), complemented by study and reference materials, helping you establish a solid foundation in the principles of shibari fundamentals upon which you can develop your personal style safely and confidently.
Each class focuses on a specific concept or technique, ensuring clear understanding and immediate application to your erotic experiences.
Progression is gradual: starting with basic concepts and advancing to more complex techniques as you solidify the skills needed to approach advanced practices effectively, while minimizing risks in shibari.

The 3 Areas of Study in Yagami Ryu
At Yagami Ryu, we focus on three key areas of study. In order for shibari to be considered sekibaku or "Yagami-style," all of these areas must be covered. If one is missing, it cannot be sekibaku.
Each of these areas is essential to fully understand the style. We cannot omit any of them, and it is crucial that skills and knowledge in each area are balanced; this is a requirement at all times.
Erotic Context
We understand and teach shibari as a tool for the development and enrichment of eroticism within the couple.
While it is true that, as a tool, shibari facilitates emotional communication and the creation of emotional bonds, in an erotic context, we aim for the satisfaction of desire to strengthen the relationship through intimate experiences.
Our method is not based on repeating patterns; rather, we focus on understanding the technique in order to adapt it to each experience and individual.
Responsibility
Learning shibari, like any other technique, requires effort and dedication from the student, and it is their responsibility and obligation.
Our responsibility as instructors is to facilitate the assimilation of the technique, personalizing and adapting it as needed to allow each student to evolve and safely apply what they've learned to their personal erotic experiences.
To achieve this, we work together with tools that allow both the person tying and the one who is tied to explore and better understand their erotic desires, and find ways to fulfill them.
With this system, we aim to both preserve the spirit and tradition passed down by our teacher Yagami Ren, while adapting the forms and methods to contemporary Western habits and realities.
People First
In a healthy erotic dynamic, both participants are equally important and exist on the same level.
This is a fundamental principle: the people and their experiences are at the center, not the ropes.
Based on this premise, we adapt the training to each student individually, working specifically on those aspects that allow them to progress and enjoy shibari in a flexible and gradual way from the very first class.
Training Adapts, Not the Students
With a basic framework and syllabus, the private lessons are adapted to each couple, always keeping in mind that no two people or couples have the same experience.
In our classes, both parties, the person tying and the person tied, are equally important. Both are active and essential parts of the experience, and both receive personalized training.
Therefore, the training includes specific techniques for each one, allowing both participants to better understand their respective roles.
Focus on the Tied Person
Our teaching method focuses on the person who is tied.
In fact, in the early stages of training, most of the work falls directly on the person who is tied.
As the person tying refines their skills, the responsibility will be shared until 50/50 balance is reached.
The Order is Critical
First, knowledge must be acquired, especially about yourself. Learning about others takes time and requires interaction.
Next, we dive into the study of anatomy and learn how to manage your own body how to manage someone else's (in that order).
Finally, rope handling is covered..
Let's face it: achieving mastery in any of these areas takes hours of practice—possibly years.
A great advantage of Yagami Ryu is that from day one, what you learn can be applied, turning the practice into something engaging and enjoyable.
We will progress as we use it.
In this online course, given the nature of distance learning, we will intertweave content from all three areas, always indicating to which area each technique belongs to.
