Diamonds Are Forever

Class Info

Introduction to hishi-pattern concepts. So you know a couple knots, frictions, and hitches. You’ve already got some basic harness/tie structure down. Now what!? We can begin playing with the structures that make up some of our favorite ties and create a whole new look, yet maintain their structural integrity. Through exploring a new pattern logic attendees will develop a finer sense of tension, rope handling, and aesthetics. We’ll also cover some interesting tips on how the placement of frictions can be used for pressure point play.

Prerequisites

A non-collapsing single-column cuff, understanding of basic frictions (reverse tension, half-hitch, munter-hitch).
