Start tying bodies! Learn foundational single-rope harnesses including an arms-free chest harness and a futomomo leg tie. You’ll use techniques like single column ties, counter tension, half hitches, and full stops. If there’s time, we’ll explore a one-rope box tie. Great for beginners ready to practice on partners or themselves.
Start here if you’re new to rope, want a solid foundation of shibari skills, or need to get back to basics. You’ll learn the “what” and the “how” of tying: handling your rope, basic knots, simple harnesses, and how rope can connect bodies and moods. We keep it relaxed, safe, and supportive.
You can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively, you can partner up with another participant.
You can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you.
You can also spontaneously come by on the day and purchase a ticket online right up to the beginning of the class if there is space left.
Note:
The class starts at 7 pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can process your ticket and welcome you. Once the class has started we do not allow entry. You cannot transfer your ticket to another week. If you are not sure you can come, please purchase your ticket on the day as soon as you are absolutely sure you can make it.
If you know you will come to the open training more than just once, please ask for our discount card! (For every 5 classes, the 6th class is on us!)
Our curriculum is divided into three main levels – Rope Fundamentals, Rope Structures, and Rope in the Air – and a multi-level Rope Lab, each happening monthly. In addition, we organize one-day level-ups, evening community events, and weekend intensives with international teachers to keep your rope game growing in all directions.

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe 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 space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
