Registration will be enabled July 5th at 12pm

This 3-hour class focuses on creating more intentional and engaging rope scenes through body mechanics and thoughtful scene design. We’ll explore balance, weight distribution, and efficient movement to help you guide your partner with control rather than strength. We will share how to adapt to different bodies with a focus on bottoming styles and bottom education.

Building on these skills, we’ll cover how to pace a rope scene, create intention, and maintain connection on the ground without suspension or advanced techniques. This class is ideal for beginner to intermediate rope practitioners looking to deepen partner connection, improve movement, and build grounded rope that feel more like true scenes and less like labbing.

Things to bring:

• 4 to 5 hanks of rope
• Water
• Notepad

Prerequisites:

Tops:

• Single column tie
• Basic knowledge of frictions
  

About the Instructors:

EM (he/him)

Based in Memphis, TN, -EM- has been an active part of the kink scene since 2010. Known for a sharp edge and a sharp tongue, he brings a no-nonsense, high-impact teaching style that blends blunt honesty with a dark sense of humor. Specializing in rope bondage and whips, -EM- enjoys exploring the edge of physical and psychological endurance with technical precision. He has taught across the U.S. and Europe, drawing from a diverse background of training with internationally respected educators. Whether you are looking to deepen your skills or sadism, -EM- offers a direct, hands-on education that leaves an impression.

Nirathekitten (she/her)

Nirathekitten (she/her) is a rope loving, latex wearing, often bloody, switch and self-player who joined the larger kink community in 2018 while living in Michigan. Now located in Western NC, she dedicates a large portion of her time volunteering for her local community, sharing her passion for education, and co-leading Asheville Rope Academy. Between getting tangled in rope, causing trouble with sharp things, torturing partners, or intriguing sadists, it can safely be assumed that she will be found further proving that 'mind over matter' is more than just an expression.
