Very enlightening! SirKnottyDan gave a very good presentation for establishing a scene with a partner. The emphasis on safety for all parties was well discussed. I also learned of other things to be discussed with a potential play partner which I had never considered.New participants in BDSM should definitely take this course. Old pros could also take it for a good review.

Extremely informative. The format was easy to understand and follow, when further explanation was needed for items such as terminology, it was provided. Instructor is personable and knowledgeable in subject matter discussed. I would definitely recommend his class to anyone, especially the novice, such as myself. I would be interested in attending more classes taught by this instructor as well.

Very helpful for someone new. I definitely feel more comfortable looking for a partner, better informed how to find the right one and some expectations. Q&A was very helpful, host was very likable and reasonable.

The negotiations class was very helpful in depicting what a well rounded negotiation should look like.

Although it was taught from a top-centric point of view, the instructor did fairly well in depicting the bottom’s side of negotiation by including how they can help make negotiations as effective as possible.

The only thing I would say could improve was the pacing of the class. I felt the instructor went through the material too quickly for my taste, but it was understandable considering how much content was involved and another class scheduled to happen soon after. Despite the fast pace, I still took a lot out of the class and learned things I haven’t even considered before.

Being new to the rope community, this class offered me an inside look to the history, styles, etiquette, what to bring to an event, and the stages of a tie. Definitely a prerequisite before moving forward to the other classes offered. I’m looking forward to learning basic rope bondage, participating in floor play and meeting like-minded kinksters all while being safe, sane and consensual. Thank you SirKnottyDan for a great class!

I think this class was very informative, which is great since I have been in since breakfast. I was actually taking notes and it only got kinda rushed in the end. However, completely understandable. Your energy was really great as well, extremely passionate about the topic.

As someone who is just beginning to experiment with rope bondage, I came into this class with a lot of questions about best safety and negotiation practices, types and uses of rope, and event etiquette. SirKnottyDan covered all of these topics and so much more! I came out of this class feeling significantly more confident about getting started in this community and being safe all the while. SirKnottyDan is a wonderful instructor who uses relevant personal experiences to tie the theory of the lesson to real-life practice (pardon the pun). I am also extremely grateful that if students have any more questions later, SirKnottyDan is enthusiastically open to answering them! Thank you so much, and I hope to make it out to San Diego someday for an in-person class!

This class was a phenomenal explanation of the vetting process! As someone who is entirely new to BDSM, I had no idea where to start, much less how to make sure any potential play partners would be a good fit. This class laid down the foundation and gave students the building blocks for the process of vetting, and I now feel confident that I can build from that to understand and implement my own vetting needs. SirKnottyDan is a thorough and entertaining instructor, sharing from his own vetting experiences and practices to emphasize points along the way.

I have been experimenting with rope for years and decided to take the step to get some formal training for the safety of myself and rope partners. Very informative class. I highly recommend it. I look forward to much more learning with this group!

Sir Knotty Dan, thank you so much for this class! It was chock full of information and it helped me to not feel as anxious. I am a very shy man, but when I heard you say you were terrified of going to see/experience rope bondage for the first time, as the cliche goes, I realize I’m not the only one who can feel a little intimidated. Great content and information, I now want to experience, even though I will still be a bit shy!
