We are proud to annuounce that we finally have our new studio ready! It is a beautiful space, few meters away from our house, that has been created expressly for the practice of kinbaku. A wonderful 2,70 x 2,70 mt rigging area with first quality tatami mats, Hashira, and multiple beams to recreate the atmosphere and the rigging  possibilties that we found in Japan. The studio also has a big garden, a chill out area, a collection of Kinbaku books, a bathroom with shower and a small kitchen area. The perfect space to tie, make videos and pictures, and study LuXuria style kinbaku. Our famous...

As it has been announced, despite I never liked them, this year Kinbaku LuXuria will issue certifications for people willing to become instructors of our style. This decision was taken because of certain unpleasant facts that have been going on recurrently and more and more frequently. Just to give a few examples, there has been a guy who had a few basic classes with me, still a beginner, someone who I would not recommend as totally safe, that has been going around saying he was my student, and that I would have suggested to him to stop taking classes with me because he was “too good”. This...

Naka Ryu has become more and more popular in Europe in the few last years. As the demand for education grew higher, this generated many people willing to offer to teach it. Unluckily, most people are not authorized to do so. It happens very often that when reading educator's profiles and curriculum I see stuff like, "I have studied with Naka Akira". But truth is that most of these people mean they had just a few hours of class or workshop with the Master. Some did not even have this, have never met him, or have had few hours of class with someone else that had a few hours of class himself with...

Few days left before our trip to Japan. For the first time we’ll be visiting Tokyo. We’ve been preparing this trip since a long time, and now, a dream comes true. The main reason for this travel has always been, since the very first beginning, the infinite desire to have the opportunity to receive private tuition from Naka Akira san. So several months ago we came in touch with him and had the incredible chance to organize three days of private tuition in Studio6 in Roppongi. Naka San invited us furthermore to attend his Naka Nawakai sessions on 10th August. We were already so glad about...

This is our report from Moscow Knot 2013, the first edition of what has been probably one of the greatest rope event of this year, featuring on stage some incredible artists including Naka Akira for the first time performing out of Japan. We really don’t know where to start from to describe all the emotions of this incredible long weekend. The Moscow Knot was organized by Vlada, Falco and Torquemada. Three splendid and friendly guys that took very good care of all the guests during the three days of the Festival. We arrived quite late in the night before the beginning of the Festival and slept...
