GanRaptor.pl / nawado.pl

GanRaptor.pl and nawado.pl are the two websites of the Polish rope performer and teacher GanRaptor and his partner Slaanesh. The site presents GanRaptor as a precursor of shibari on the Polish scene whose rope shows have appeared at Polish fetish and BDSM events since 2009, and the couple run the projects together. According to the about page, GanRaptor has taught at workshops abroad, including at a dojo in Berlin and in the Rhein/Main region, Copenhagen, Tallinn and Moscow, has given workshops and trainings for psychologists, sexologists and therapists, and has created rope scenography for films and stage productions, including an opera at the National Theatre.

nawado.pl

nawado.pl, created by the pair, is an online handbook of bondage and shibari techniques with a gallery of hundreds of their own photos and videos, and it is also the name under which their shibari workshops run. They hold individual workshops and closed-group workshops on request and add extra dates when enough people sign up; past announcements include workshops in Warsaw, such as a 2017 workshop and Kinbaku Lounge evening.

Shop and courses

GanRaptor.pl combines an online shop with paid video courses. The shop sells jute and hemp rope prepared by the pair, wax pastes for rope care, suspension rings and safety shears, with guidance on choosing rope by experience level. The courses include an introduction with 11 videos on basic techniques, a second course with 9 videos on topics usually covered on the second day of their workshops, and a 2026 course on a version of the TK (takate kote) that GanRaptor developed and tested at the start of that year. Both sites are mainly in Polish, and GanRaptor.pl also has an English version, including its about page.
