All Tied Up San Diego is an amazing community led by a wonderful guy that knows his stuff without being arrogant. I’ve dabbled in the rope and kink community for over 10 years and when my husband approached me about taking a 101 Rope class, I was doing it just for him. But I learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Dan teaches that it is so much more than just tying and being tied, it’s about connection and creativity. It’s not just learning the basics, it’s learning why something is done the way it is and how it can be incorporated in more advanced settings later. Always, always safety first. Whether you are new to rope, or looking to get back into it; whether you are a top, bottom, or not sure, I honestly couldn’t recommend this class and community any higher. Best thing my husband convinced me to do.

This is a great fundamentals course that covers rope bondage basics. While a majority of this was review, there were some fundamentals I never learned. This allowed me to slow down a bit and really take the time to focus on the basics. It also fostered a greater connection with my rope bottom. A great aspect of this course is explaining things from the rope bottom’s perspective as well as the top. The basics of negotiation and vetting can be used for all forms of BDSM. The course was more interactive that one would think an online course would be. The folks at ATUSD really worked hard in creating a a detailed course and rope community.

The classes are detailed and cover more than just knots in a vacuum. All the soft skills around vetting and negotiations are covered in depth. The exercises help develop the muscle memory you need to advance to the point where you can focus on your partner instead of focusing on the rope.

Very well put together instructional videos covering everything to step into an intimate skill while learning through online.

Very informative as a basic introduction and especially in regards to what to expect at a public event. Going over how to be prepared for what a public event may look like including what to bring and the physical interactions puts us at ease as we have not been to one yet though had planned on doing so. Thank you.
