Topic 4.2 - Step-by-Step Guide to Gote Shibari (後手縛り)

We use the term “gote” (後手) here to refer to the specific way of combining fundamental techniques—from bodywork and rope handling to the crucial skill of sesionmanagement.

These ties are defined by restrictions with the arms behind the back and one or more rope lines wrapping the torso.

All variants that originate from gote (ushiro, takate, hibari, kanuki...) share the same core principles. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll be able to explore these related ties safely and with confidence.
