NAWASHI · TEACHER

French kinbakushi based in Paris. Began rope practice in 2007; started teaching and performing internationally in 2012. In 2013 discovered Naka Akira's semenawa and devoted himself entirely to that style. Opened L'Atelier Simonet in Paris in 2018. In 2019, Naka Akira officially authorized him to teach his style — one of the first Europeans to receive this recognition. His practice centers on emotional perception and the psychological dimension of rope.
