Six years ago, at the infancy of my professional career I was going through a crisis. I was not not sure which direction my bondage was going. Looking for inspiration I came across a video that challenged the foundations of what I believed bondage needed to be. After some research I discovered that the kinbakushi in the video was called Akira Naka. I started to watch obsessively all the videos from him that I could find; I wanted to tie like him, I wanted my bondage to look like his. Of course I had no idea of how to tie his patterns, so I attempted to emulate the same emotional reactions and moods.

A year later, in 2013, I met Naka Sensei in person during a festival in Moscow. Our connection was instantaneous despite the language barrier. That encounter changed my bondage and my whole life. I devoted myself to learning his style and one year later I started visiting him in Tokyo to learn directly from him. He made me his Ichiban Deshi (primary disciple). He gave me the name 利 狩 人

Naka Sensei became very soon more than a teacher for me; he became a mentor, a friend, family. He allowed me to build a successful career and helped me through my hard times. He made many of my dreams come true like performing at Nawa Naka Kai or at Maniac Festival in Tokyo. He introduced me to Sugiura Norio Sensei, the legend of bondage photography, and I was lucky enough to establish a good relationship with him.
I owe Naka Sensei a lot.

Being the Ichiban Deshi of such a legend is no easy task, there is honour and pride certainly, but also a great responsibility to remain faithful to his teachings. I try to keep up with Naka Sensei's high standards, to promote the human values he taught me, in bondage and in life. I try to make the style live and evolve and spread the love for it throughout the world.

I created this book to celebrate 5 years of meeting Naka Akira Sensei.

I am not a photographer but I decided to shoot the images myself as the use of a photographer would have showed their vision and not mine. I did not want to simply imitate the work of the great masters, have people say “great work, it looks like the one of XXX”. Therefore I avoided using their lighting schemes and all the props that are so typical of Japanese bondage photography. I used one simple light on a side, not to be moved around, allowing me to concentrate just on the tying. I also avoided Japanese clothes on the non Japanese models. There was no discussion about what the models would wear, they all wore what they felt most comfortable or creative in because I wanted to show their individuality and their own innovative input to this book.

Post-work has been minimal. I wanted the rope-work to be about the models and to be real, so no image is posed. I wanted to have that recognizable Naka Style feeling and yet give the rope a clear personal nuance.

I followed no plan in creating the ties, I let the models inspire me. Some rope came up messy, some neat, some erotic, some sadistic and some very cuddling. I tried to tie with an empty mind, one rope at the time, enjoying the process, to celebrate each model's uniqueness and beauty.

The result is in these pages, that celebrate five years of having met my teacher and friend. I felt that it was time to document how far along in my rope journey I have come, not a beginning or an end, rather a period of reflection.

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 and succesful Intensive Private Weekend formula costumers will now benefit of this amazing space, allowing them to learn different Hashira ties, as well as practicing tying in a three dimensional space. It will also grant more privacy, as the costumers will sleep at the studio (on comfortable mattrasses laid on the tatami) and have their breakfast their. Lunch and dinner will still be held at our place and we guess there is no need to mention Wildties' famous cooking abilities.

To celebrate our new studio we offer 5 early birds at a super special discount. At the time of writing 1 is allready gone so hurry up and enquire for all infomations at kinbaku.luxuria@gmail.com

But what is a Private Intensive Weekend? In case you do not know Private Intensive formula is a high end weekend of tuition tailored on your level. In the price is included : all the food, drinks, 10h of teaching, a comfortable room to sleep, shuttle from/to airport. Not included: your plane ticket. It is a full immersion in our world famous style of Kinbaku and has been chosen as the best way of learning by most of our students. Hours and hours of teaching, great food and a bargain price. What could you desire more? And now whith the new studio we raise the bar ofering an even better service.

Hurry up and book your Private Intensive Weekend LuXuria Style!

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 guy used my name to get models confident enough to tie with him. More than once, people that had some classes with me in a sporadic way, started teaching. Some of their students applied for my classes and I realized they were taught things completely wrong, and sometimes in a dangerous way. Another example, very blatant, is a guy that came for an intensive at my place. I gave him a basic class on some ground works of this style. He was not particularly brilliant as a student. He went back in his country and started making tutorials (full of mistakes), promoting himself as an expert of the style. He was even introduced on stage at a festival as “The student of Wildties”, this in front of many people who actually studied hard with me. Even worse, he started organizing Naka Ryu workshops (on the studying with me and using the Naka Ryu name I'll write later).

This style is becoming very popular, everyone wants to learn it and to teach it. It starts to become dangerous and upsetting and I don't want my name associated to people who I don't think are safe, nor the name of my Sensei. Of course certifying educators will not prevent people from giving classes on what they learnt from me the day after their class. But, at least, their customers will have the possibility to know if Wildties personally thinks that that person is prepared enough to teach in his name.

Before entering in the detail of the Educator certification and how it will work, I want to clear up some points that should be common sense, but seem not to be fully understood by many (or they pretend they don't).

1- Having taken a few class is not the same as having studied throughly with someone. Just like if I assist to a lecture at M.I.T I cannot go around saying I studied at M.I.T, having one or two classes with me does not make you my student (Same applies to Naka Sensei as he clearly stated to me in Tokyo this summer). A person should study in a continuous way, throughout time, with an educator to be called his student, pupil or deshi. Otherwise he can say he is inspired or that he has done some classes, which is very different.

2- Naka Akira Sensei pointed out to me clearly that I have my own style, in the mood and in the technique. People that study with me are learning my interpretation of Naka Ryu, hence my style. People should refrain from using the Naka Ryu name if they never met, or met just a few times Naka Sensei to study with. He was extremely clear on the fact that while I am his deshi, and had the honor to be accepted in his Ichimon, the ones that study with me are part of my circle not his (just like I could not claim to be a student of Nureki sensei because I study with Naka Sensei, who studies with me is not automatically Naka san student). Only few people are authorized to teach in his name, and the students of these are learning the interpretation of that particular educator, which might differ a lot from that of another authorized educator.

3- Learning a TK and a few basics does not make you an expert of a style. A style has a philosophy behind it, it's constantly evolving, has many variations. Giving classes on a Naka Style tk after a couple of classes is silly. I remember a guy having 3 days of class with Naka Sensei that came back saying “Naka San ties the suspension line only on the upper wrap”. Well, believe me (or look at videos), I saw him tie on the upper wrap, on both wraps, and once directly from the cuff. The truth is that this style is very fluctuant and every situation has its own way of being dealt with according to the desired result, not to mention Sensei changes a lot according to periodical preference. Only who has a full view of the method can teach it without making claims that can easily be denied.

4- Even if you can tie a style properly (I would say decently actually) that does not make you an educator. Being able to manage a class, to solve any problem that might arise, to personalize ties according to the student/model needs, having a good pedagogy, this means educating. Learning a pattern and teaching it is not educating, there are too many variables you are still not aware of. Just like no one would get driving classes from someone fresh out of driving school, even if he got his licence with a full score. Common sense again.

For all the above I have decided to publish a list of my students (of course for the once that what to be in such) and start certifing educators that can teach my style. Certification will be divided in 3 levels, Educators for beginner classes, intermediate and advanced ones. While, among my students, I already know who can teach what, to avoid ego problems I will issue a test for each level. Students will be tested on rope skills (knowledge of patterns, flow, ability to improvise, speed etc) as well as pedagogic skills. Each exercise will have points assigned and a minimum will be required to pass the test. Test will be conducted at students request and if failed a time of at least 6 month will be necessary before a second attempt. I will request that at least 8 month pass before requesting to be tested for the following level and that the student has Educated in at least 10 classes of that level.

While I know this will not prevent some to still use my name or that of Sensei without permission, taking advantage of it, I hope this will at least give people the possibility of checking information in a better way. Please note that in my recent trip to Tokyo I have discussed the subject with Naka Sensei and had his full approval as well as his precious advice.

Of course this will be free, and only for those who intend to use my name and brand. All the other students can say freely they have got class or workshop with me, and spread their own interpretation of my work. But that will be very different than doing things in my name or pretending to be my deshi or by proxy that of Naka Sensei.

Riccardo Wildties, Naka Nawa Ichimon

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 the Sensei. Yet they said they were teaching Naka Ryu. Some even write they are his disciples (rather than merely students).

This is ridiculous, dangerous, and not honest. To say you studied with someone or that you are someones student takes more than a 5h workshop. Authorized Naka Ryu educators are few and you should choose well. We think you should choose us, and this is why:

1) Wildties is not only an authorized Naka Ryu educator, but the first one. He is Naka Akira's official deshi.  The masters consideration for him is such that he was granted to perform twice as a rigger at Naka Nawa Kai, once in a duo session with the Sensei.

2) We were the first to dedicate completely and only to this style, therefore we might say without error that our own experience is the most complete one now available in the western market.

3) Most educators around have just started teaching and performing. They have little experience in pedagogy, in tying, and in this style. We have been on the market for years now, done over 400 hours of teaching and more than 35 performances in 2015 alone. Experience matters.

4) Our offers range from 1 to 1 tuition to workshops, private intensives, masterclasses, intermediate intensives, etc. We keep in touch with our students, and give them advice and support even after the classes. We are traveling frequently all over Europe.

5) Wildties's great experience in this style allowed him to make technical adjustments to make it safer and more suited for the western standards of safety, without loosing the traditional look and feeling of Naka Ryu. Most of what you might learn in Europe comes from him anyway, so why not learn from the original.

6) We are in constant contact with the Sensei and update our knowledge regularly.  We develop new ties and techniques, and new methods of teaching them.

Most of all, when one day Naka Sensei was asked why he chose Wildties as a Deshi, he answered simply one word… One word that is the more important in Kinbaku: kokoro, heart and spirit.

Your money and safety are important, so choose well your Naka Ryu educator.

Shame in Bed

A wonderful new model joins our team! See BeautifulyAbused get tied in a very tight strappado tie on the bed. Her beautiful body gets exposed while she is gagged heavily. Then things get harder, her body gets contorted, her pussy clamped, and a lipstick is used in many different areas of her body to cause shame and embarrassment. This is one of the most hot video we produced up till now, full of eroticism and passion.

Harsh Futomomo

BeautifulyAbused tied in a harsh futomomo suspension in typical semenawa style. She is bent, immobilized, her shaking shows all the sufferance she goes through. even her hair is tied making the position even more difficult. A very traditional, slow, demanding tie. Her tears during and after are real eye candy, her feelings and her connection and devotion to the rigger a real treat. Something very Japanese in technique and mood. A great clip not too miss.

By RedSabbath

Quite often models ask me how do I deal with pain.

First of all, let me remind that good semenawa favors the experimentation of suffering, not pain.

I’m not a masochist. Never been.

Outside a session in which I feel submitted, I hardly can manage painful stimuli.

So what are the tools, the techniques, I personally use to deal with the painful sensations, with progressive suffering, and to turn them into something I can space for?

1. Breathing
I breathe slow and deep, when possible, slow and extended, when my breathing capacity is limited from the tie. Breathing has an immediate natural effect on the perception of pain, helps me relaxing, detaching, and getting rid of negative feelings.

2. Surrendering
I do not fight and resist to the discomfort: I follow it. The moment my brain and my body let go, the bliss begins.

3. Offering
I let my brain focus on the fact that the suffering I am living is an offer to my Top/Rigger at that moment. I love managing, as I live that act like an offer to him. I give him the time to admire me in suffering.

4. Sensory splitting
I found I apply this quite often. It’s a technique that involves dividing the sensation (pain, burning, pins and needles) into separate parts. For example, when a shoulder is in pain for a hard Takate Kote, and this kind of feeling is identifiable as “hot”, I just focus just on the sensation of the heat and not on the hurting.

5. Mental analgesia
This is really nice. It works like that: you have to imagine a strong pain killer drug, like morphine, entering into the painful area. What I personally do, is imagining my brain while producing endorphins. As I know that this is happening, and that those endorphins are having effect in a short time, I just wait for them to flow.

All of them are behaviors I experimented, and studying around, I even found a word for some of them. (You can read for further reference this list of techniques used to control chronic pain)

We are immensely pleased to announce our first full Kinbaku movie, La Poupée Noire, realized in high quality video standards from the super talented Director Vincent Vet Studio, starring two incredible models like Charly The Doll and Redsabbath, and, of course, the unique rigging of Riccardo Wildties.

Shot in four days different setting, cold cellar, luxury room and japanese room,  with superb lights and suggestive soundtrack, it’s a full story with a great plot that will compose a three hours final movie, of which this is the first part.

The movie tells the story of a rich Lady, La Poupée Noire of the title, interpreted by a mysterious Charly The Doll, that, somehow bored and searching for a new thrill, gets intrigued by the services of a very peculiar organization and manages to have a submissive (Redsabbath) captured  and offered at her mercy for some time.

The Lady invites at her place the Kinbakushi (Riccardo Wildties) to help her bend Redsabbath more and more to the realization of her games and her fantasies.

Through several scenes of torture and rope sessions, from a chair tie, to a full bamboo transition in Kimono, to an Hashira Shibari, Redsabbath progressively starts loving the feelings lived through this experience, and eventually surrendering  to the constrictive ties and the torment, up to a surprise ending..

So, we wish you good vision of the Second part, and stay tuned, the story continues..

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 10^th August.

We were already so glad about this invitation, we were very proud to be introduced in there; then, we realized only few weeks ago.. that we were not only supposed to watch, and that we were going to perform a live session! Here is a link to his most recent blogpost:

http://nakaakira.com/?p=1769

Useless to say that we are incredibly honored by this invitation.

The videos shot by Naka san for Murusou Club in Studio6 have been our main source of inspiration for years, and having the incredible chance to be there, and to get in touch with the most authentic spirit of Kinbaku, fills us with gratitude.

During our stay we hope to have the opportunity to get back in touch and meet some very good rope friends that we met all over the world in the last months, like Kinoko Hajime, Miu Miu, Avalon; but we will even spend some free time just enjoying the city, the food, and everything Tokyo can offer!

We’ll be visiting a private rope event at  Kitagawa Dan's salon, thanks to our contacts in Tokyo that have always been very supportive and helpful with us; then we planned a shooting with a great photographer, originally from New Zeland, living in Tokyo: Thl Evilthell.

Of course, if you’re interested in getting in touch with us when we’ll be there, just drop us a line: it looks like we’ll have wi-fi connection 24h, everywhere we go: thanks to technology, Japan, here we come!

It’s with a humble and pure heart that we prepare to leave for this experience.

Thanks to everybody that supported us through time, making us follow our pathway, making us stronger, being friends, and offering us always honest confrontation and love.

Mime yori kokoro. Heart, rather than appearance.
