One of the most curious things about rope bondage is that it has grown in such a way that neither rope nor bondage is its most central aspect. As we begin our journey into the world of knots, frictions, and tension controls, it is worthwhile to pause and ask why we tie in the first...
This class takes a deep dive into the minute details of what makes good tension, clean placement, even lines, and smooth, effortless rope movement. These absolutely fundamental (and universally applicable) micro-techniques are difficult to pin down but magic once implemented, and make the difference between good rope and excellent tying.

The approach of tying hair consists of working simple structure ties and exploring the resistance and sensitivity of the scalp to the extent of those who participate in the experience. It is not the ultimate and only goal to achieve a complete hair suspension, but the nuances of experience and the technical aspects of the...
