Course Description: 

We will cover 5 knots and techniques that are great for rapid capture.

During the first half we will go over how to tie three variations of my favorite bondage knot–the prusik–and practice several very cool applications. This knot can be used to secure someone inescapably to a bed or bondage frame in less than a minute. A modified version can be used to make belly-chain style rope handcuffs that are very effective in containing eels (people who like to struggle and slip out of rope bondage). I have met many people proudly bearing the “I-can-escape-from-anything” title that had to add “…except that one time” after they had been introduced to this knot. ::wicked grin::

This class will also feature a rope-only device that allows a rope to become tighter but will not allow it to loosen. But it does so in a way that will not cinch down and threaten your sub.

The second half of the class features two techniques for rapidly applying rope to a partner. One technique allows you to tie a knot around a wrist or ankle when you only have one hand to tie with. The other technique comes from hojojitsu roots and is a sort of arm-binder/chest harness that can be tied onto a person in less than a minute. It will give them something to think about whilst you drag them away to your next bit of evil.

This is a practical, hands-on session that starts with a demonstration, moves on to practical lecture and practice sessions with high involvement by the instructor to ensure that the new skill is cemented in your mind before you leave.

What should attendees bring:

You can learn all these skills with two 15 feet pieces of rope, and rope will be available for sale at the class!
