What Our Students Say About the 201 Experience course!
201 Course Weekend Intensive
The 201 Intensive course is amazing!! This is definitely a more advanced course that has a lot of information. It has been nearly a month since I’ve completed the course and am still processing some of the lessons that were taught in the course. There were several eye-opening “Ah-ha!”; moments in the class. Be prepared to have many of your preconceived notions challenged and you’ll grow because of it. I was very thankful to have an amazing partner for the class. Be sure the person you are tying with is someone you can trust and in turn can trust you back. Good communications and chemistry makes the class significantly better.
Response from All Tied Up San Diego
Thank you Chris! It was awesome watching you learn.
201 course
I was very impressed with the 201 course. Dan is an amazing teacher, preceptor, and friend . He is always willing to share his personal as well as technical aspects to the trainings.
The 201 course helped my partner and I to think about the intentions with my tying.
I feel that this course, as well as other courses, will help to improve my overall skills and continued learning in the world of shibari.
Response from All Tied Up San Diego
Thank you Viv! It was fun watching the transformation happening between you and your partner. You both make a great tying pair! Looking forward to seeing you two start suspending!
Ready to get them into sub space?
The 201 course at ATU San Diego was an amazing opportunity to hone my shibari skills from 101 and become more fluid and creative with rope. 201 boosted my confidence level and challenged me to start thinking about other things besides how neat and aesthetic my lines are. I still want the rope to look good, but more importantly, I want the rope to *feel* good on my partner. This course really prioritized that connection, and began to explore how to evoke (and define/communicate) different types of emotions from my partner. From rope management to physiology, a wealth of practical and applicable information beginning to end. Amazing class for couples to communicate desires more clearly and engage in being consciously present together.
Hi there!
Are you ready for an amazing rope journey?
Are you ready to learn how to master those basic skills and become an Intermediate Ropester?
Taking the skills you have learned and developing them into reliable, repeatable, and effective parts of more complex applications?
Learn real-life and kinky skills that matter. So that, you can gain confidence and feel the transformation happening as you grasp the automatic dexterity required to apply multi-step, deeply-intentional ties?
This is a unique opportunity.
This course will include six live, in-person class sessions to discuss each module's content.
Additionally, you will have two additional in-person practice time each month with the instructor and teaching assistants.
The additional online course platform will provide you with additional pre-recorded videos of the hard-skills and tie applications for that module. These videos are available in the palm of your hand, allowing you to go through the modules to learn and practice on your own time, away from class.
The beauty of this system is that you get the in-person time with your cohort and instructor, along with the videos that you can watch over and over again. The single biggest complaint from our students taking in-person only classes was not having a video of the ties to study after class. That issue has been solved and our students tell us they love the new videos.
Plus, you will have direct interaction with the instructor and receive feedback on your work either in-person or if you choose to submit videos for between class feedback.
No other course does this, except our 101 course.

Definitely Fun
"
The instructors and staff at ATU are top notch. They were very attentive to answering questions anyone had, and making sure everyone was making progress regardless of what level they were at. The atmosphere was very friendly, non-intimidating, and comfortable. I highly recommend All Tied Up for anyone interested in beginning or continuing their rope journey regardless of their skill level. "
Casey - Top
Deeper Connection
"
All Tied Up provides a great environment to learn, share and grow no matter what your level of skill. I especially appreciate the emphasis on safety and negotiation and the variety of events - socials, classes or just a place to tie or be tied. The group is made up of all skill and experience levels and everyone is very welcoming. They provide a supportive environment where everyone shares information and experiences. I always learn something new. I can't recommend this group highly enough. They have made my rope journey amazing! "

What If I Do Not Have A Partner?
Sorry, you must have a partner to participate in this course. This is not a self-tying course, it is about creating intimate connections with your partner using consent, negotiation, and communication as a basis.
This Is Your Course!
You've read the reviews, there are more I can share.
You know you want to take gain confidence doing rope.
And you know that there is still a lot that you do not know.
Well, we want to help you learn and grow. In our opinion the only way that can happen effectively is not by showing you a bunch of videos, but by being available and requiring you to show us your work.
That means we are here to support you. You will have access to the instructor and the team.
You can ask questions and receive support.
You don't have to wonder if you are doing it right.
Don't be deceived into thinking simply watching a video is going to teach you, that isn't how this works.
You and your partner's safety is too much to risk on getting it wrong.
And we promise you that after you complete this course, you will know you have gained some serious rope skills!

These special practice dates are included in the cost of the course for you as a 201 student.
What is the time commitment for this course?
You will have a two hour bi-weekly commitment every module for the live in-person class. Plus you will need approximately 3-8 additional hours every module to watch the tying videos and practice the materials.
Do I need a partner?
This course requires a partner. The ties and metholdogies taught will focus on increasing connection and intimacy between two people.
How long will I have access to the videos?
You will have access to the videos for the lifetime of the course, plus the lifetime of the platform. Meaning that as long as I can afford to keep the online content in this platfrom you will have access. So, hopefully that is for years to come.
What you do not have access to are the in-person classes and the LAB Practice sessions, which are included with this course. Those will end at the conclusion of the course.
What will the homework be like?
It will vary from lesson to lesson. There will be requirements for you to demonstrate understanding of the materials presented through video and written forms.
There will be some reading required and submission of your interpretation of the writing.
There will be some group discussion over Slack.
There will definitely be time for you to discuss rope with your partner.
What equipment do I need for the class?
You will need a minimum of five 30' and two 15' hanks for rope and safety shears. More rope is great. We expect you to use either jute or hemp rope for this course. Nylon rope is great rope, but it is not acceptable for the ties being done in this course. If you need to tie with a non-natural fiber rope, please inform me ahead of the class.
Additionally, you will need to have a webcam, and space to work on the ties for each lesson. You will be submitting your work via video, written form, and in-person. So, please plan accordingly.
What if I have questions or do not understand something?
The private Slack workspace channel for this co-hort will be the place to submit any questions and to get the answers that you seek. Sharing your questions with the group will help everyone learn and for us to gain valuable feedback about the materials.
