Rope Basics: Learning Tension with Hojo Cuffs

11. November 2021, 8:45 pm – 10:15 pm

 

Tension is one of the trickiest, yet one of the most rewarding and important principles of tying. It takes time, skills, and knowledge to be able to tie with great rope tension. A great way to go deeper into learning good tension are hojo cuffs.

In this course, Gestalta will show you how to create cuffs and help you understand how to handle your ropes in a way that your tension is ace and your rope partner very, very happy.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
