NAWASHI SPARKS
Deshi to NawashiKanna
Certified KannaRyu instructor
Sparks began tying early 2015 where he soon found a passion for rope. Learning quickly both locally and travelling interstate at every chance to further knowledge. Sparks began an educational role in 2016 and not long there after they began teaching and performing interstate. Rope has since carried through to travelling to Japan to further continue his education. It was this trip where Sparks was accepted into the position of deshi to Nawashi Kanna Sensei and recieved his teaching certificate in the style of KannaRyu.
His early trouble shooting and un-canny memory enables him to modify and skillfully adapt ties to each model. The deep intimacy and connections conveyed through rope, along with a sadistic flavour, is what Sparks enjoys most about shibari.
SATURDAY 17 JANUARY 2026
Starting off by working through the Kanna ryu TK along with some adaptions and building understanding of the structure and style. Then we will look into some floor work ties, finessing body movements, mechanics, looking into connection and intention, and ofcourse adding our semenawa elements. This workshop is a fantastic base of understanding for Kanna ryu and build of play in rope.
