Tengu Shibari Munich
Rigger-and-model team Frank and Felia, rooted in Osada Ryu, who teach one-to-one coaching in a Japanese-styled studio that can be set up for floorwork, bamboo, ring or hashira work. They also stage rope performances at Munich events, including the BoundCon main stage.
Tengu Shibari München is a teaching pair: Frank, who handles technique, and Felia, an experienced rope model. They say their rope practice began many years ago and grew into a shared profession. They found their home at Kinbaku Studio Vienna as students of Vinciens and follow the Osada-ryū path, in which they say they have reached higher kyu grades. On a trip to Tokyo they studied with Japanese teachers, above all Osada Steve, and they have taken intensive workshops with international teachers in Europe. They describe their style as intense and precise, built on clear communication and attention to detail. The site shows the World Kinbaku Federation logo as a partner.
Lessons
They teach individual lessons only, with no group workshops, citing the Japanese idea of direct, personal transmission (kuden). Both teachers work with each student or couple: Frank covers the technical and aesthetic side, Felia answers questions from the perspective of the person being tied, and safety comes first. Lessons are for couples and individuals, beginners and experienced people, including riggers who want to understand how a tie feels and models who want an active role in their own experience. A trial lesson is available on request; prices are on a separate booking page.
Studio
The private studio is styled after Japanese rooms, with a wooden structure, igusa rush mats, an Osada-ryū lamp from Osada Steve and calligraphy by Yagami Ren. It has two rigging spots that can be used at the same time, and the space can be set up quickly for floor work, bamboo, ring or hashira. A sound system and a screen are used to review teaching videos and photo shoots.
Performances and art
The pair perform rope shows for events, set to techno music; their site lists a performance on the BoundCon main stage in 2025. They also work with photographers in studios and outdoors. The website is available in German, English and Japanese.
