About our instructors:

Thomas (he/him, fet: untiedbythomas)

Thomas joined Studio Friction and the Denver Kink community in April of 2022 and has been obsessed ever since. A rope top and self suspender, Thomas has a deep love for all things Shibari, whether that be taking every class possible, learning a new harness for suspensions, or compulsively shopping for new rope. He believes no scene is finished until the last bit of rope is removed, putting extra emphasis on connection, body movement, and intimacy. Recently stepping into the world of teaching, he is so excited to give back to the community that has taught him so much and share all of the education he has absorbed along the way.

Within the kink world, Thomas' interests include: grappling/wrestling, D/S dynamics, CNC play, and is willing to try anything at least 4 times. Outside of kink, Thomas can be found playing guitar, reading, training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, playing board games, walking his 2 dogs, and writing code. Thomas identifies as a cis, poly, het, white male and is constantly curious about human experiences different than his own.

Marilyn (she/her, fet: _Marilyn_)

Marilyn first entered the Denver rope community in 2019. After finishing the partnered curriculum in March 2020 (literally the Wednesday before Denver shut down!), Marilyn began self-tying as a way to maintain her rope skills. She quickly fell in love with the playful, energetic, and dynamic nature of it! She is happy to be back in Denver and to be exploring all that rope has to offer again, whether that's tying others, tying herself, or letting others tie her sometimes too.

Marilyn identifies as a queer, polyamorous, kinky switch. She's passionate about relationship anarchy, arguing the semantics of language, and the value of building connections. She's excited to be engaging with the Denver rope community in a new, bigger way through teaching and curriculum development.

Tight Lines: A kink life drawing event

COST: Sliding scale $10/$15/$20

Please bring your favorite drawing materials; we will be drawing the human form in an array of kinky activities. Obviously, there will be a strong focus on rope, and we will likely start there, but eventually, there will be a range of kinks represented. We will create a relaxed atmosphere to see and draw fun, sexy things.

If you are new to rope or kink, this will be a great low-pressure atmosphere to spend some time watching and drawing some beautiful kink. Models will pose for varying times in various kinds of positions.

If you don't have them, we will provide some basic materials, but certainly, bring your favorite sketchbook/tablet/easel and mark-making supplies.

Switchtext isn’t an art instructor, but he does have an art degree and has spent a lot of time in life drawing classes. He is happy to offer input and suggestions on your work if you would like.

If you are interested in posing and tying for these drawing sessions, reach out to nate@studiofriction.com

Floor Rope:

Skills for Connection and Communication

w/ Robb_Snow and Snoh

Price (per tying pair): BOUND Members $30 | TIED Members $40 | WRAPPED Members $50

Class Description:

This class will explore intention, emotional communication, movement, and connection in floor-based rope. Combining rope/partner handling, one-rope work, and positional play, participants will cultivate presence, awareness, and sustainable tying practices.

This class focuses on fundamentals of connection, communication, and fluid body movement. Class topics are suitable for all levels of experience and will cover a variety of drills, games, exercises, and basic forms that reinforce class concepts and provide creative opportunities for exploration.

The focus will be on how we tie and what tying communicates rather than what we tie and how to tie it.

Prerequisites:

- Ability to tie a non-collapsing single column and knowledge of basic frictions

- Completion of a Rope 101 or Beginner 1 curriculum is strongly encouraged.

- Negotiated ability to tie in close proximity to/contact with your partner.

- Ability to safely manipulate/handle your bottom in rope, including in unbalanced positions or movements.

- Knowledge of basic risks, safety, consent and negotiation practices in rope bondage, BSDM, and kink.

- An interest in improving your ability to communicate in rope as a top or bottom.

Bottom prerequisites: confident in-rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope, confident ability to monitor and communicate concerns in your paired tying

This workshop is best suited for partners who have tied together previously. Please have negotiated the ability to tie in close proximity to/contact with your partner.

Trigger Warning:

One exercise involves neck rope not attached to a harness or upline. The instructors will offer/demonstrate alternatives/modifications for participants who do not wish to use neck rope for this exercise.

One tie taught during this class is designed to induce drooling by the bottom. The instructors will offer/demonstrate alternatives/modifications for participants who do not wish to induce drooling for this exercise.

Equipment:

- Small rope kit (1-3 full length ropes, assorted shorter lengths as desired)

About the Instructors:

Robb_Snow (He/Him) (@Knot_Robb_Snow)

Robb has been involved in Japanese rope bondage as a student, teacher, and performer since 2013. Robb loves both tying and being tied and particularly enjoys the connection and intimacy that can be achieved through rope. Robb's tying style mixes sensuality and sadism, with a focus on creating a shared container to playfully explore vulnerability and desire.

Snoh (She/Her) (@zoesoteric)

Snoh discovered her passion for rope bottoming in 2022, drawn to its beauty, intimacy, and the profound connections it allows. Her journey in Shibari has been transformative, teaching her more about communication, interpersonal relationships, energy exchange and a deep exploration of one's self. Beyond the ropes, Snoh cherishes the connections she forges with her partners and the kink community. She seeks to share her knowledge and passion through workshops and demonstrations, volunteering, and fostering an environment of exploration.

BetwixtBlushes (she/her)

Nova has been tying in Denver since 2023. They switch in rope and all things kinky, and are passionate about education. They believe rope is for every body, and are dedicated to adapting rope to fit the needs of the scene and the people in it. Nova loves the tactile, connective element of tying and is thrilled to have a creative practice that facilitates platonic cuddling. They have a particular love for creatively themed ties and mixing rope with other sadistic play.

Nova identifies as a transmasc, polyamorous, kinky switch. Outside of rope they can be found climbing, birdwatching obsessively, and baking for praise.

T / Fet: twistyt (he/him)

T joined Studio Friction in late 2023. His favorite thing about rope is how it fosters connection and communication, and its calming effects on distractable neurodivergent minds. T comes from an educator background, and is passionate about generating safe, positive, and inclusive educational experiences for newcomers to the rope scene.

T identifies as queer and gender-nonconforming, and is a rope top. He especially loves to combine the art of rope with his cosplay and photography hobbies. Outside of kink, T is a dog dad and amateur taxidermist.

Pleasure Seekers: Pervertables: DIY Kinky Fun (14 Apr 2026)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Every second Tuesday of the month we will be treated to free sex and kink education on a wide range of topics. Stay tuned for more sexy topics coming your way!

Pervertables:
DIY Kinky Fun

This hands-on kink education workshop invites you to explore the art of pervertables. What is a pervertable? An unassuming, everyday object that can be creatively repurposed into playful, sensation-based tools that can be used for kinky or perverted purposes! Rooted in harm reduction, consent, and creativity, this class will guide you through how to safely and intentionally transform ordinary items into unique implements for impact, sensation play, and beyond.

We’ll cover the fundamentals of selecting materials, understanding risk, negotiating use, and adapting intensity for different bodies and experiences. Then, you’ll get the chance to build your own DIY implement with guidance and support. In addition to that, we will also be sending participants home with a cloth gag/blindfold.

Whether you’re brand new or looking to expand your toy bag in a budget-friendly, imaginative way, this space is designed to be accessible, collaborative, and fun. Come ready to learn, experiment, and leave with some souvenirs!

Robb_Snow (He/Him) has been involved in Japanese rope bondage as a student, teacher, and performer since 2013. Robb loves both tying and being tied and particularly enjoys the connection and intimacy that can be achieved through rope. Robb's tying style mixes sensuality and sadism, with a focus on creating a shared container to playfully explore vulnerability and desire.

TheSwitchBunny (she/her) brings a grounded, consent-forward lens to everything she does. A switch who loves the electric energy of negotiation, she’s known for clear communication, thoughtful boundary-setting, and helping people speak up for what they want. Even in her day-to-day professional life, she's championing informed consent practices and staying risk aware. Kinky, connective, and people-oriented, she is an integral part of Studio Friction’s Incident Response Team (IRT) and believes deeply in education, accountability, and community as foundations for safer, more connected kink spaces. ✨

No Leafless? No Problem. (18 Apr 2026)

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 18:00:00 GMT

No Leafless? No Problem with Mel and Finch

price per tying pair:

BOUND Members $30 |TIED Members $40 | WRAPPED Members $50

Saturday April 18th, 12:00pm - 03:30pm

Arms Free Harnesses

Would your ribs like a break from the Leafless, but you don’t feel like a TK or an arms-front harness? Thankfully, there are options in shibari! In this beginner friendly class we will explore two arms-free chest alternatives, the Butterfly and the Kite harness, that can withstand dynamic suspensions, and be loaded 5 different ways. We’ll go over harness patterns, hanger placements and considerations, and leave time for labbing a full suspension with your partner. Mel and Finch learned these harnesses from Shibari Study with Gorgone and GiGi respectfully, and have used them extensively in their rope practice over the last year.

Things to bring:

3-4 hanks of rope of your choice
Cutting tool
Suspension kit, if you plan on labbing out the harness in the air, YOU MUST HAVE SUSPENSION EXPERIENCE TO LAB IN THE AIR

Prerequisites:

Top prerequisites:

Familiarity with tying chest harnesses, ability to tie at least one solid hip harness (gunslinger, thigh cage, futo okay) if participating in the suspension labbing portion. Experience communicating in suspension, knowledge of nerve safety. Completion of B2 is necessary, but I1 is preferred. Suspension experience is not an absolute necessity, but if people have not suspended before, this is NOT the class to learn in, and it means they'll miss out on the last hour of class.

Bottom prerequisites:

Experience in body awareness and communication. Suspension experience is required if going in the air for the lab portion of the class.

All participants must have a shared understanding of negotiations, consent, and safety. Clarity on boundaries around touch and aftercare needs.

About the Instructors:

Mel (She/Her)

Mel entered the Denver kink scene in August 2023. She’s a big fan of twisting people into shapes, while collaboratively exploring the individual strengths each person brings to rope. Whether topping or bottoming, her interests include challenging hashira ties, laughter, and power dynamics. She identifies as a queer, polyamorous, disabled, kinky switch.

Finch (She/Her)

Finch is a rope switch who started her rope journey at Studio Friction in 2023 as a bottom, and later became a top in 2024. She is a forever student, and is continuously learning new rope skills. As a bottom, she thrives on sensual, connective rope where she can express her playful side. As a top, she thrives on connective, dynamic rope that allows her bottom to feel strong and seen- you will often see her tying at the studio as a co-top with her husband. Her favorite thing in topping is allowing her chaos gremlin side to come out, which often means she'll be using her bottom as her own personal jungle gym.

All attendees must register and pay online, no admittance or registration at the door.

Rope Bottom's Roundtable (19 Apr 2026)

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Rope Bottom

Roundtable

A community discussion space for bottoms, switches, and curious listeners.

3rd Sundays
12p - 3p

FREE FOR Studio MEMBERS and Students
$5 GUESTS

Join us for an afternoon centered on the voices, experiences, and wisdom of rope bottoms. This roundtable is a collaborative space to explore the knowledge, skills, questions, insight, communication, and care that shape the bottoming experience—while building mutual support, shared language, and connection within our community.

This event will be based in community contribution for topics we hope to discuss. Whatever the day and attendance calls for will be our focus. We want the hard questions and weird thoughts. We want to dig into the basics and to expand into abstracts and nuances. Topics such as approaching new tying partners, pain processing, negotiations and risk profiles, emotional empowerment, body image and awareness, preparation and aftercare, and the many small details that help bottoms feel informed, respected, and resourced- bring those.

Expect thoughtful dialogue, shared stories, practical resources, and the quiet magic that happens when people feel safe enough to speak and be heard. We're gathering to hold space for each other in honesty, complexity, and care without turning the space into a venue for personal call-outs or dedicated resolution of individualized situations.

We welcome switches and attentive tops who are willing to listen, learn, and support without taking focus away from bottom experiences. Whether you’re new to rope, deeply experienced, or simply wanting to better understand the bottoming journey, you are welcome here.

The Pleasure Carnival (25 Apr 2026)

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Tickets Here

Inspired by underground events in New Orleans, this sex positive and queer centric, variety show will be a display of erotic pleasure on stage. Continuing to push the limits of what is currently happening in Denver, we aim to encourage our performers to show the audience something that isn’t allowed on other stages. We will highlight a variety of bodies, kinks, pleasures, and theatrics both on the stage and in the audience.

THESE ARE THE ACTS WE CAN'T DO ANYWHERE ELSE.... are you ready?

Join The Lavender Sleaze and Juice in the third act of Denvers Most *^#>ed Up stage performances. You won't be able to look away, you might have to look away, you might black out and wake up with new fantasies (or nightmares) to go home and try out. Don't forget to pick your jaw up off the floor when you leave.

Dress code: Adorn yourself with as many gems, peals, sequins, and silk. You are stepping into a world where YOU are the decoration for others to witness. Allow yourself to feel sexy, powerful, sultry, or naughty. We can't wait to see what you choose!

NO GLITTER NO GLITTER NO GLITTER NO GLITTER - For real. No glitter. Juice see's all, you won't get away with it.

Our focus remains on entertainment through the act of sexual liberation and freedom while remaining deeply connected to consent and opening the minds of our audience through theatrical exploration. At our core, we’d like to push the limits of what Denver is currently experiencing and make our city a weird and safe community of freaks!

Rope Practicum: A Community Skillshare & Study Hall (26 Apr 2026)

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Rope Practicum:
A Community SkillShare

&

Study Hall

COST: FREE FOR Studio MEMBERS and Students - $5 GUESTS

4th Sundays
12p - 3p

Rope Practicum is a friendly and collaborative space where rope enthusiasts come together to share, learn, and grow in their practice. Whether you’re a top, bottom, switch, or self-tier, this community-driven event offers a chance to ask questions, troubleshoot techniques, exchange skills, and dive into meaningful discussions about rope bondage. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone—newbies and seasoned practitioners alike—can expand their knowledge and refine their craft through open-source, community-led learning.

Please note, Rope Practicum is not a play space. While playfulness is welcome, this is a space focused on learning and discussion, not on scenes or play. To keep the atmosphere conducive to education, studio lights will remain on, and music will be off.

This isn’t a traditional class, nor do we operate within a teacher-student hierarchy. We encourage everyone to contribute, whether you’re offering your expertise or exploring new ideas. Our inclusive approach means that all are welcome, regardless of experience level or role within rope dynamics.

Examples of What We Can Explore Together:

Asking and answering questions—whether community-wide or personal interests
Reviewing and practicing techniques from recent studio classes or intensives
Troubleshooting knots, variations (like munter hitches, 3rd rope variations), and rope management
Deepening conversations around topics like active bottoming, risk assessment, nerve pathways, consent, negotiation, and more
Workshopping specific ties, positions, or sequences
Exploring “soft skills” like connective rope, ichinawa, or intricate finger/toe ties
Discussing the history and adaptation of Japanese rope bondage practices
Offering and receiving feedback on your ties for improvement

Come with curiosity, and leave with new insights, connections, and skills. Rope Practicum is all about fostering a supportive, interactive community where everyone’s journey is valued!

About our instructors:

Kathryn/IG: kathryn.ties (she/her)

Kathryn has been a member of the Denver rope community since 2021. Initially captivated by Shibari’s blend of beauty and pain, she has fallen in love with the technical depth and artistry rope offers. She began her journey as a bottom, with a fondness for Futomomo inversions. In 2022, Kathryn decided to delve deeper into Shibari by learning to tie. Since then, she has dedicated herself to honing her skills as a rigger through meticulous attention to detail. Kathryn has a love for flowy, sensual, sweet ties with a dash of meanness sprinkled on top for spice.

Mel/FL: mel_at_dawn (she/her)

Mel entered the Denver kink scene in August 2023, adamant she only had interest in bottoming. That lasted about 1.5 months before she purchased her own rope and dove into tying. She’s a big fan of twisting people into shapes, while collaboratively exploring the individual strengths each person brings to rope. Whether topping or bottoming, her interests include challenging hashira ties, laughter, and power dynamics.

She identifies as a queer, polyamorous, disabled, kinky switch. Others at Studio Friction have taught her so much about the intersection of self-exploration, kink, and bottom empowerment; she’s excited to pass that knowledge forward. Humans contain multitudes and Mel loves spaces that honor and encourage that.

Floor Work - Breath Control with Bänana & Soft Armor (1 May 2026)

Sat, 02 May 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Floor Work - Breath Control:

Breath Play with Ropes with Bänana & Soft Armor

price per tying pair:

BOUND Members $30 |TIED Members $40 | WRAPPED Members $50

Friday May 1st, 7:00pm - 10:00pm

Registration will be enabled March 1st @12:00pm

During a bondage session, the breathing of the bottom is often impacted. A simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions. The rope is a perfect tool for breath play. The rigger can play with his or her partner’s breathing on different spots: mouth, throat, ribcage, abdomen... After we familiarize ourselves with the precautions to be taken, we’ll experiment with effective ways of obstructing the air column... Breath play is a powerful means of communication in ropes. In this course, we’ll explore the reactions and emotions that breath play can induce on your partner, so that we can use it appropriately in a rope session.

Things to bring:

At least six hanks of rope (7 or 8m)
Cutting tool
A partner you are comfortable exploring breath play with

Prerequisites:

Top prerequisites:

Any single column tie and a double column tie, knowledge of safety and risk in rope. Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).

Bottom prerequisites:

Confident in-rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope, confident ability to monitor and communicate signs of nerve compression. Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).

All participants must have a shared understanding of negotiations, consent, and safety. Clarity on boundaries around touch, exposure, and manipulation, and aftercare needs.

About the Instructors:

Bänana (She/Her)

Bänana, a ten-year bondage enthusiast, found her passion in shibari in 2017, drawn to its raw and authentic nature. As she has always been fascinated by the expression of emotions, shibari, and more specifically semenawa, has opened up a new path of exploration to her. She began to follow Docvale’s teaching in November 2018, later partnering with him to co- manage Atelier Simonet in Paris until summer 2023. Bänana created La Cabäne during winter 2024. Bänana considers that in order to tie well, we must understand each of our technical choices rather than learning the instructions by heart. She gives to her students a solid grounding so they can feel free while tying and put these technical abilities at the service of the relationship with their partners.

Being in ropes is also something to be apprehended. Not that you have to behave in any particular way. On the contrary, every tied-up person has to find the way that pleases him or her. It's also a long journey full of questions and emotions, and it seems important to Bänana that all this is taken into account during her courses.

Bänana's courses are so often highly interactive, with the idea that everyone should have a place to ask questions and express their experiences and feedback in order to grow together in this practice.

Soft Armor (They/Them)

Soft Armor is a NYC based rope bottoms and self-tier who travels and ties in LA, Paris, and beyond. They found rope later in their life and immediately fell in love with the ways rope allows for explorations in their body-trust, art making, and interpersonal connection. As a queer, chronically ill rope model, they love to nerd out about pain processing, internalized ableism, and the ways that the containers we make together in rope can feel like "aftercare" for vanilla life.

Important Registration Information:

All attendees must register and pay online, no admittance or registration at the door.
Photo ID is required to be admitted and must match the Last Name listed in your online registration.
You must be at least 19 years of age to attend Studio Friction events.

Movement & Immobility with Bänana & Soft Armor (2 May 2026)

Sat, 02 May 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Movement & Immobility:

with Bänana & Soft Armor

price per tying pair:

BOUND Members $300|TIED Members $325 | WRAPPED Members $350

Saturday and Sunday

May 2nd-3rd, 10:00am - 5:00pm

Registration will be enabled March 1st @ 12:00pm

We can see a shibari session as a sequence of different steps.The choice of these steps is made as the session progresses, depending on the evolution desired by the rigger in relation to his/her partner. The rigger can for example choose to add ropes, to vary a shape or to create movement and to radically change a position. During this workshop, I would like us to analyze the possibilities we have to make a session evolve, by observing in our practice the moments of immobility and movements. We will attach very different types of sessions in order to find ways of thinking about questions such as: What is at play in the immobility for the person tied up? What is the right moment to decide to change position and in what ways can we choose to make a transition? This workshop is not meant to bring answers but to try to enrich our practice of semenawa with new paths!

Things to bring:

A full rope kit (12-14 hanks of 7 or 8m)
Cutting tool

Prerequisites:

THIS IS AN ADVANCED INTENSIVE, LEVEL 2. IF YOU ARE UNSURE IF YOUR SKILL LEVEL IS SUITABLE FOR THIS INTENSIVE, PLEASE REACH OUT TO OSOROPES

This advanced course is suitable for riggers who are comfortable tying in bamboo suspension. Having already been tied several times in suspension is necessary for the models. Bänana’s ropes style could be related to semenawa (ropes of torment). You need to be comfortable with this kind of dynamic. Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent). Regarding the chest harnesses used, Bänana will tie different ones, but there will never be any obligation. For each exercise, you will be able to choose according to your preferences, as long as the harness can be suspended. If at any point during the workshop you need adaptations, Bänana will be there to support you.

All participants must have a shared understanding of negotiations, consent, and safety. Clarity on boundaries around touch, exposure, and manipulation, and aftercare needs.

Floor and partials in Akechi-style with Mango and Rio (29 May 2026)

Sat, 30 May 2026 01:00:00 GMT

Floor and Partials in Akechi-style

with Mango and Rio

price per tying pair:

BOUND Members $30 |TIED Members $40 | WRAPPED Members $50

Friday May 29th, 7:00pm - 10:00pm

Registration will be enabled Sunday, April 12th @12 noon MST

This class is intended for people who tie and people in rope who already have some experience (see prerequisites). In this three-hour class, we will explore some of the core principles of Akechi-style rope. This style is raw and precise, combining strict structures, breath play and control to create ties that are beautiful and thrilling.

Mango is one of the two currently active authorized instructors of the style, and Rio will be his partner for this class.

Nawashi Akechi Kanna is a leading Japanese rope artist. As a successor of Akechi Denki, they have developed a semenawa style (tormenting rope) that draws inspiration from hojōjutsu. Akechi-style is restrictive and emphasizes precise control of the body, often incorporating elements that play with breath. Kanna and their partner Kagura explain their approach in these words: "We believe that rope has no gender or borders. Rope should be for everyone and can be enjoyable for both the rigger and the model".

During the class, we will explore some floorwork ties and partial ties, and discover some of Nawashi Akechi Kanna’s signature patterns. We will focus on ties that do not require a takate kote (TK). As one of the principles of Akechi-style is adapting rope to each body, alternatives and additional options will be offered whenever necessary.

Safety and creativity will be emphasized throughout the class, and the content will be adapted to the level and needs of the group. Please note that the class may include crotch rope and light strangulation.

Things to bring

At least seven ropes (7-8 meters/30ft, Ø 5-6mm), ideally jute rope or hemp rope
4-5 carabiners rated for climbing
1 climbing sling to attach a carabiner to a hard point

Prerequisites:

This class is LEVEL 1 based on our experience level matrix

If you are unsure if your skill level is suitable for this class, please reach out to nate@studiofriction.com

For people who tie:

People-who-tie must know basic frictions (hitch, x-friction) as well as single and double column ties and basic upline management

For people in rope:

People-in-rope should be familiar with the differences in sensation between nerve and blood circulation impingement and how those feel for their bodies

People-in-rope should be able to communicate effectively about their experience, needs, and desires in ropes

About the Instructors:

Mango (He/Him)

Originally from Europe and currently residing in Ottawa, Canada, mango (he/him) started his rope journey in 2015 as a rigger. He enjoys challenging and tormenting ropes, the playful art of semenawa. His main interest lies in simple ties and in the classics of kinbaku. He equally enjoys exploring floorwork and suspensions as they allow a vast array of play possibilities. In January 2022, Nawashi Akechi Kanna, one of Japan's leading and most influential rope artists and teachers, named him an official instructor of their style (Akechi-ryu, from the Kanna lineage). Mango has assisted Kanna in their teaching in Japan, Singapore, Canada and the US. He has performed and shared his knowledge about semenawa in over a dozen countries across the world (Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa) and closer to home. He is the co-founder of CORE, a rope education collective in Ottawa. @mangoties on Instagram

Rio (They/Them)

Originally from Brazil and now residing in Montréal, Canada, Rio (they/them) has been practicing rope since 2017 as both a top and bottom. While they have experience in different rope styles, they hold a special interest in the Kanna-ryū philosophy. Their practice values connecting through torment in play, emphasizing body awareness and its impact on choices and movement. They focus on sharing experiences to foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and developing meaningful rope partnerships. @rio_rope on Instagram

Introduction to Akechi-style with Mango and Rio (30 May 2026)

Introduction to Akechi-style

(with a variety of chest harnesses)

with Mango and Rio

price per tying pair:

BOUND Members $300|TIED Members $325 | WRAPPED Members $350

Saturday and Sunday

May 30th-31st, 10:00am - 5:00pm

Registration will be enabled Sunday, April 12th @12 noon MST

This workshop is intended for people who tie and people in rope who already have some experience (see prerequisites). In this 2-day workshop, we will explore some of the core principles of Akechi-style semenawa with an emphasis on a diversity of harnesses. We will spend the weekend exploring complex and precise ties, sometimes intricate, more often than not simply tortuous, while taking the time to enjoy the process and the many possibilities Akechi's semenawa offers.

Mango is one of the two currently active authorized instructors of the style, and Rio will be his partner for this class.

We will explore various floorwork ties, partials, suspensions and discover some of Nawashi Akechi Kanna’s signature ties with an emphasis on understanding semenawa from a practical and conceptual level. As one of the principles of Akechi-ryū is adapting to anybody, alternatives and extra options will be provided if necessary. While we could demonstrate some of the ties with a takate kote (TK), alternatives will be provided and you can expect a variety of chest harnesses (for instance, tengu, teppō, back arm binder, etc.). Partials and suspensions will start from a single hardpoint, creating shapes that compress the body.

Content will be adapted to the group. This workshop could include some of these ties: agura, gyaku ebi, hikyaku dzuri, shachihoko, etc. Safety and creativity will be emphasized throughout the class, and the content will be adapted to the level and needs of the group. Please note that the class may include crotch rope and light strangulation.

What to bring:

At least 10 ropes (7-8 meters/30ft, Ø 5-6mm), ideally jute rope or hemp rope;
4-5 carabiners rated for climbing;
1 climbing sling to attach a carabiner to a hard point.

Pre-requisites:

People-who-tie must know basic frictions (hitch, x-friction) as well as single and double column ties
People-who-tie must know a TK (takate kote, boxtie) OR a solid suspendable arms-free harness (knowledge of a version of stem-based TK is preferable)
People-in-rope need to have been tied in a TK before. Low hands or hands free are also acceptable alternatives. In that case, people-who-tie should already be comfortable with this such configurations
People-in-rope should be familiar with the differences in sensation between nerve and blood circulation impingement and how those feel for their bodies
People-in-rope should be able to communicate effectively about their experience, needs, and desires in ropes
