All Tied Up San Diego is a rope bondage educational group providing events for the greater San Diego area.
The question of what hard and soft skills, techniques, and specific ties make up a 100, 200, 300, or higher level of class instruction is likely a frequent discussion in the rope community. There isn't any right answer.
What follows is simply All Tied Up’s perspective on the matter, in order to help people gain an understanding of what All Tied Up offers in their classes. Others may have different opinions and this is in no way meant to be the “one twue way.”
The term 101 generally means basic or introductory.
You start your journey with our Getting Started Class (Class 100). This an introductory, in-person class that is the prerequisite for all other events offered by All Tied Up San Diego.
The Getting Started Class also includes an additional 90 minutes of online video content to help you start practicing on your own at home.
This class is offered several times each month.

After the Getting Started Class, you can progress to our 101 Course. This is a six-module course that includes six in-person classes over a 3 month period. There are also additional online videos to support your learning when not in class.
The 101 Course also includes Rope LAB time (think Office Hours) where you can come and practice under the supervision of the instructors and teaching assistants.
Examples of soft skills taught in our Getting Started and 101-level classes would be:

At subsequent levels of instruction – 201, 202, 203 and beyond – you can learn skills to make your rope play more exciting, adventurous, sensuous, and torturous!
The 200 level Courses are designed to take what you learned in 101 and give you the ability to bring purpose, intention, and connection into the forefront of your rope experiences.
201 - Rope Core Fundamentals
202 - Rope Core Intermediate
203 - Rope Core Advanced - Introduction to Suspensions
The 200 level of courses each include six in-person classes and Rope LAB instructional time each month for three months.
Examples of soft skills, hard skills and specific ties taught at a 200-level might be:
Full & Partial Suspensions
Suspendable Ties and Harnesses–basic floor ties need upgrading
Suspension Physics–gravity is unforgiving
Hardware and Hardpoints–the right gear, at the right place, at the right time
Upline Management and Connection–critical pieces of the puzzle
Self-awareness–so you think you’re ready
At All Tied Up, we consider 300 Level and higher courses to start the journey into the highest level of risk play with rope.
We STRONGLY ENCOURAGE knowledge before experience at all levels. Take the time to learn, learn, learn.
Make sure your risk profile includes understanding that permanent injuries can result from doing any rope work, but the risk goes up dramatically with advanced rope work.
300 Level Courses would be available for those students who have demonstrated the fundamental skills necessary to suspend/be suspended listed in the 200 level.
Examples of soft skills, hard skills and specific ties taught at a 301-level might be:
