Hi everyone! I’m fuoco! I’ve been doing rope since 2012, starting out as a bottom but quickly falling victim to the bottom->switch->mostly-only-tying pipeline. I found circus arts right at the same time that I found rope and made that into my full time career for a number of years before joining the Shibari Study team. Pretty committed to keeping my feet firmly off the ground! 

I joined Shibari Study as the Director of Education in 2023. I think a lot about how to teach rope in this digital medium, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on classes that currently exist on this platform and ones you want to see next! Feel free to drop me a DM with questions, feedback, funny stories, etc. I’ll be here updating you about new classes we’re dropping, live instructors we’re booking, and new products we’re launching to improve your learning experience <3

“I switch pretty evenly”

“I only bottom on occasion and that’s how I like it”

“I fell victim to the bottom to switch pipeline and now I really only tie even though I miss bottoming so much”

My goal here was to have the lines touch! As you can see, I was a little off, which is why it's great to go back to this drill :) If you're a little off like this, it probably won't have too big of an effect on your even tension within your wrap, but the more you can work on placing the rope exactly where you want it to go, the less your tension will be affected by the need to dress the wraps.
