June RING: Suspension Series Pt2: Uplines (ALSO 101 Rope Basics)

Suspension Series Pt2: Uplines

In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know about uplines for partial and full suspensions. We will go over various styles of lock offs, the difference between using a ring or bamboo, locking off from the top and the bottom, lift techniques for all bodies, as well as using leftover rope to continue your ties.

Please bring rope suitable for suspension, safety shears, and a weighted bag.

We are a local rope group and non-profit in Nashville, Tennessee, focusing on non-dogmatic practices and equitable access to education. RING is intended to help foster and support learning and growth in rope for all experience levels. The group's primary focus is on knowledge sharing from one member to another to help people grow in their abilities with rope. Everyone’s rope journey is their own, and our facilitators pride themselves on assisting everyone as an individual rather than conforming to a specific style.

Feel free to come and join us anytime; we do not require a specific membership and welcome rope enthusiasts from the Southeast and beyond! All events are 18+ and you must provide some form of ID for age verification.

Rope Basics 101 (In the classroom) We will have our monthly Rope Basics Class, covering all the fundamental aspects on rope bondage! We've updated our presentation to include more material and teach a bit more to get you started on your rope journey. You'll learn a bit about the history of rope, how to choose the rope that's right for you, and what we like to discuss before tying with someone. You'll also learn a single column tie, how to extend rope, and frictions to complete your ties! Even if you've been to the Basics before, this might be a great refresher! If you need rope we have it to use and don't worry if you don't have a tying partner! We have extra limbs via furniture.
