Naturally Twisted Co In late 2010 Hebari started Naturally Twisted Co, a website to disseminate information about Japanese rope bondage which had previously been difficult to find due to the small amount of Japanese literature that had been translated and disseminated. Previously people such as Go Arisue and had written about the topic however very few video tutorials were available in English along with detailed written instructions. In 2011 Naturally Twisted Co was expanded to include rigging equipment and hand made rope Sydney Rope Dojo Hebari began Sydney Rope Dojo in 2011, with the dojo moving to its current premises in 2012.
