Mukade Kinbaku Dojo

A kinbaku dojo in Mexico City linked to kinbakushi Roqueved Zagal. Its official link hub has an open class booking calendar and a student registration and consent form, and its workshops accept first-time beginners.

Mukade Kinbaku Dojo is a kinbaku school in Mexico City founded and led by Roqueved Zagal. He signs his work as a kinbakushi, and the dojo’s link hub presents it with the line “Japanese rope art,” offering workshops, performances and private sessions. The hub links a class booking calendar, a student registration and consent form, a YouTube channel and a studio directory listing.

That listing, on Shibari Study, is maintained by the dojo itself. In it the dojo calls itself a traditional kinbaku dojo offering private lessons, workshops and guided practice for all experience levels, with a focus on safety, consent, technique and artistic expression. It describes Zagal as a Mexican kinbakushi and photographer with more than 17 years of kinbaku practice who combines Japanese rope technique with photography, performance and teaching. The listing names a manager and a marketing and press director next to him. It says new students are welcome, breaks are encouraged and the pace is adapted to each student. It also mentions community guidelines with a way to report concerns, lowered suspension points, loaner rope, and reduced-cost or scholarship places.

Zagal’s teaching in the city predates the current name. A Bogart Magazine feature from around late 2024 calls him the creator of Tengu Shibari Dojo, a school that had moved between several Mexico City locations. It describes his teaching as going beyond rope handling to physical and emotional safety, and lists press coverage by Vice, Playboy and MTV, rope work for a streaming series, and a book he sells at his studio. The sources consulted do not say whether Mukade directly continues Tengu Shibari Dojo.
