Simple Crab Tie

In this step-by-step shibari tutorial, Bänana teaches the Crab Tie with her model Fred.

The Crab Tie is a classic shibari form that attaches the forearms to the lower part of the legs. From this simple yet highly exposing position the tie can be used for floor play sessions, partial suspensions and even full suspensions. While the tie itself is straightforward and accessible for even beginner levels, this class will equip you with tips and tricks to avoid pressure on the nerves and joints and create a structured tie that’s as fun to play with as it is to tie.

This class is suitable for beginner levels and beyond. Always remember to keep your skill set in mind when applying techniques from any Shibari Study class to your own practice, particularly if you intend to utilize this harness in semi-suspensions or full suspensions.
