Books Recommendations for Shibari/Rigger

[dinosauro]

Hello everyone :)

I'm trying to learn more regarding ropes and Shibari. I would like to buy some books. I already looked around the internet in some sub reddit but I also would like to know if the FET community had some good recommendations.

Thank you in advance to anyone who will reply ⭐

“Miumi-U Teaches Shibari” is a solid pick, although I’ve found it easier to learn via videos and in person workshops

Yeah that's so what I heard! Personal workshop seems to be the best option. But I would still like to read more about it. Thank you very much though!

“Learning the Ropes” by Knotty Boys is an amazing starter book for shibari. It’s by far the best one I’ve found.

Knotty Boys make a TON of great books from beginner to expert. Very detailed and includes illustrations to help explain the process of tying.

I’d like to add if you don’t have a partner to practice on, use a pillow. It’s very similar to a torso size. I use my legs, feet, and pillows to practice. There are shibari mannequins you can get but they are expensive and I wouldn’t recommend that unless you fall completely in love with it and want to drop the coin and don’t have a regular partner

Many local clubs will have regularly (or irregularly) scheduled classes too with the added bonus that there are usually willing partners if one wants to practice on same ;)

Shibari you can use, and more Shibari you can use by Lee Harrington. Knotty boys books are firmly western bondage, as is jay Wisemans book. Personally I stay away from Western because I hate nylon, and dislike synthetics in general.

Are you a visual learner? If not, books might not be the solution.
I am a kinetic learner, so we have had WAY more progress sitting, watching a YouTube tutorial as I tie her, like a "baby's first Shibari" lol.
Knots don't make sense to me unless I am putting my hands on them.
