Hi, I’m Fritz! (aka JuteJitsu)

I’m a San Francisco based rope artist, with over 12 years of experience.

I was trained in Tokyo under Hajime Kinoko, and I’m a certified Ichinawa instructor.

A man in black clothes is tying up a woman with tattoos on a tatami mat, using ropes in a bondage scene inside a room with white curtains.

For me, rope is a pathway to deep trust, beauty, and a rare type of platonic intimacy. My mission is to share authentic, meditative Japanese rope bondage in an approachable, inclusive way.

When training in Tokyo, I experienced a vibrant rope scene that provides participants and spectators with a meditative, soulful experience. These communities embrace the fun and beauty of human connection. I aim to bring this perspective home, and spread the joy of playful Japanese rope bondage to my community.

If you would like  me to tie you, I offer private sessions and photoshoots.

If you’d like to learn shibari, I offer both private lessons and affordable group workshops.

I also offer pop-up rope performances and workshops. (Ask me how to make your next party unforgettable)
