Kanna & Kagura’s workshop series is back with Super Basics series!
When it comes to Akechi Kanna’s style variation and adaptation based on solid principles and an understanding of patterns and functions are key. So if you want to start you journey with this style, this series is the best entry point. Akechi Kanna and Akechi Kagura will lead you through a number of patterns and their underlying principles as well as ideas on how to play with them in a practical manner. You can watch or tie along step-by-step.
The Kanna-style building blocks we’ll go into are rope placement, tension, knots, and patterns as well as rope flow. When done well, they allow for connection, flow, interaction, and intention between tying partners to flow. So let’s take time and have fun learning the basics first!

This series is open to everyone, from super beginner to beginner, but also intermediate to experienced practitioners who want to go back to a beginner’s mindset. Akechi Kanna style is also all about adaption so this style is suitable for all people, body sizes, ages, gender identities, etc. Kanna says: “Don’t be intimidated by Kinbaku terminology, fancy Kinbaku spaces, and complicated patterns.

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 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 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 proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
