Mike West Teaching Bio
Mike West says, “I’ve been tying up girls and making them cry since I was 5 years old. Sometime in my late 20s, I decided to get organized about it. I’ve been giving private rope bondage lessons since 2002, and teaching larger groups since 2006. For the last four years, most of my creative energies have been directed towards my “Rope::Burn” shows, my attempt to create a Japanese-style nightclub bondage performance experience here in the USA.

Mike West hates writing about himself in the third person, so he continues, “When I discovered Japanese rope bondage, it spoke to me much louder than other forms, and when I finally got my hands on some good rope, I was hooked. I condition my own rope, and build and install bondage frames and furniture.”
“I like my bondage like I like my women — tough, fast, and a little bit crazy.” Mike lives in an underground bunker in San Francisco with his two cats.
