Intro to Rope Bondage

This intro-level class teaches basic Japanese inspired rope bondage, starting with basic column ties that form the foundation of many ties and moving to some easy but effective bondage harnesses.  We’ll cover important rope safety & talk about types of rope and what to buy.

This class is intended for tops & bottoms with little or no rope experience.  If you already know how to tie chest harnesses, this class may be review.  Consider attending anyways, and maybe we’ll learn something new from each other!

Bring rope if you have it, or borrow some for the class.  You could use 2 or 3 30-foot pieces.  What kind of rope?  Whatever you’re comfortable with!  Hemp or jute are great.  Nylon, MFP, or “climbing” rope, whether braided or twisted all work.  Clothes line is okay.   Sisal, manila, or other “work” rope won’t do.  If your rope has a strong gasoline-like smell, please leave it at home!  

Partners encouraged but not required!  This is a hands-on class.  If you don’t have anyone to tie up, we’ll try to do some quick match making at the start of the class.  You can also practice many of the ties on your own leg, chair leg, etc.
