Ninth Kyu of Yukimura-ryu
In this workshop we cover all the basics required to achieve the first level (9th kyu).
The essence of Yukimura-ryu is putting the main focus on the ukete (受け手, receiving partner) instead of getting overly concerned with particular shibarikata (縛り方, rope patterns).
Be sure to maintain a connection with your rope partner at all times. Everything you do, all your thoughts, should constantly be directed towards the ukete.
To prove that there are different ways of putting your partner into subspace, we are also treated to a special Madame Butterfly demo.

This patent-pending exercise is also called "Gone in Five Seconds".
That's how long it takes to put your rope partner into subspace.
