"Breaking the Mold" Performance
Throughout the years we’ve been doing rope, Cait and Koalafied_ have been told many things that made them feel “less than.” We’ve been brushed off, scoffed at, not taken seriously, and told that we can’t or shouldn’t do rope the way we want to because of our size, gender, or both. In this suspension performance, we will prove the naysayers wrong and show the world that anyone can do beautiful, amazing rope.
"Rope 110: The Basics" class handout
A PDF of the class notes for "Rope 110: The Basics." The notes cover topics including consent & negotiation, safety, general information about rope itself, and fundamental knots (single column & double column ties).
Single Column Ties
In this video, we cover the boola-boola, the fast bowline, and the Somerville bowline. We also discuss how the direction in which you start the single column affects the way in which the running ends will end up.
Munter Hitches
In this video, ropespaced goes over how to make munter hitches, as well as the difference between open and closed munter hitches.

B.K.R.G. 2/26/22: Demystifying the TK
This class is a recording of the B.K.R.G. February virtual rope group. It is dedicated entirely to the TK (takate kote, gote, box tie). This class will be unique in that while a TK pattern will be taught for the tops, it will primarily be focused on bottoming for TKs. For tops: we will teach a modern 2-rope TK with an emphasis on placement, tension, and technique. For bottoms: we will be teaching multiple strategies for being tied in TKs, including communication, self-checks and basic nerve information for safety, and multiple modifications to make TKs doable, comfortable, and sustainable for everyone! This class is for tops and bottoms alike; both will get something valuable out of this.
