At the workshop we will teach you the basic, simple yet important principles of tying. Just as you just need to know a few notes and you can compose melodies, by learning a few elements and structures of tying you can create unique moments in which you and your partner can enjoy what you love.
We’ll start with the basics like knots, rope manipulation, simple ties, structures and more. We will learn not only how to tie your partner, but also how to enjoy every moment of your rope journey. We will learn how to do things safely. We will look into tying terminology and the history of traditional Kinbaku.
Follow-up of this workshop is Semenawa #0 plus: Basics and Beyond on the same weekend 14-15.2..2026.
About Sansei & Hyde
In her tying, Sansei focuses on the depth of human connection that only ropes can create. Her style is strongly influenced by Kinbaku LuXuria (taught by Riccardo Wildties and Red Sabbath) and inspired by the philosophy and aesthetics of Naka Ryu (Naka Akira sensei). Yet it was Peter Soptík who first introduced her to ropes in 2017, and with whom she later formed an iconic teaching duo.
Her tying, as well as her teaching, goes beyond classical patterns and aesthetics. She places great emphasis on a deeper understanding of this style of tying — the lived experience, the profound and often dark emotions, the philosophical concept of semenawa, and the practice of surrender within safe boundaries.
In her classes, she focuses on the education of not only riggers but also models — helping them with self-development and self-discovery, and with finding their own natural expression and safe limits. Her experience in both roles allows her to share a deeper insight and understanding with others.
Hyde came to Subspace to become a rigger. Soon, however, he met Sansei, and with her an entirely new world waiting on the other end of the rope—one he fully felt in love with.
Now he is learning in both sides, yet being tied has become nature to him.
At a time when more and more men allow themselves to let go of prejudice and feel the rope on their own bodies, he would like to do his part in normalizing men in ropes.
