Would you like to feel... more stuck? Are you looking to add a layer of complexity to explore in your rope practice? Maybe you're interested in discovering new shapes and predicaments? Join Lief and Icky to learn about bamboo body ties! Attaching smaller pieces of bamboo to the body in rope can create complex shapes and new sensations - but it also creates additional considerations for rope technique and safety! In this class, Lief and Icky will cover the basics of bamboo lashings to the upper and lower body and the relevant safety and risk mitigation considerations for placement, body manipulation, and upline management. Demonstrations and class exercises will allow attendees to explore these concepts in partial and suspension.
Prerequisites
Prior hands-on suspension instruction and multiple successful previous suspensions. Experience tying suspension lines on a bamboo hardpoint successfully. A suspendable chest harness that is not an arms-behind box tie/TK in case it is not suitable for the class exercise. Prior experience tying with your class partner.
What to Bring
Rope - atleast 12 hanks of rope suited for suspension. Instructors will be using jute. Suspension equipment- ring, carabiners, climbing straps, cutting tool. Body bamboo WILL be provided by The Woodshed for this class
