Takedowns & Resistance Play

Previous Workshop

Workshop List

Next Workshop

This class is all about fight, struggle and force - play that feels like power and control are taken rather than passively given. 

Too often rope is dismissed as slow and tedious - just 'not my thing' by those who aren't into spending hours on intricate rope focussed play. In the rope section of this workshop, Tonbi and Ellem will show you a very different aspect of rope play - fast, adrenalin filled and sometimes brutal. Ties taught here can be used to restrain someone extremely fast, even when they are physically resisting.

Hands and bodies are some of the most effective toys we have to play with. In the second part of this workshop, Tonbi and Ellem will introduce a range of non rope techniques which can be used to physically control a fighting play partner.

During the class they will briefly cover the how, why and safety aspects of takedown and resistance play, as well as allowing plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion.

Suitable for most experience levels - complete beginners to experienced players wanting to explore a different style of rope.

What to bring - If possible bring one or two short ropes (approx 2-5m) and one or two medium ropes (approx 6-8m)

Presenters: Tonbi & Ellem
