The class will explore both traditional and non-traditional areas to strike, understanding the psychology behind playing with altered states such as primal emotions.

Level: Intermediate

The class will explore a hybrid tie including elements from hojojutsu, a Japanese martial art using rope restraint, and the instructor's interpretation of kinbaku/Japanese style rope bondage. The focus of the type will be on process and intent in addition to technique. There will be neck rope involved. Participants will need 3-4 ropes 1/4 inch/6 mm diameter and approximately 25-30 feet/7-8 meters in length needed. Jute rope is preferred but not mandatory. Prerequisite: must have experience tying a chest harness or a takatekote to participate. Everyone is welcome to observe.
