Rope artist Noble Manqué started exploring consensual rope restraint in 1973.  His rope work was strongly influenced by Japanese-style tying after he encountered shibari and kinbaku in 2005.   Noble Rope is all about functional and visually compelling rope ties with the primary goal of creating a space for forging a connection between the rigger and the person being tied.  

     He has been teaching his style of rope bondage full-time since 2008.
