The classes are both informative and easy going. Dan is great at relaying serious information but doesn’t create a stressful environment while doing so. Excited to attend more classes!

I’ve been a bottom in the kink world for going on 11 years now. I attended All Tied Up SD’s Getting Started Class today, and I cannot recommend this enough!! I wish I could go back to 2013 me and let her attend this class instead of having to learn these lessons from the school of hard knocks. I’m a masochist, but those painful lessons weren’t the fun kind of pain, if you know what I mean 😜

The topics that were explored included:

•consent

•BDSM etiquette

•honoring privacy

•vetting

•negotiation

•safety

•headspace

•kinky language

•aftercare

•drop

•safe words

•communication

The list goes on. I wish there was a way to ensure everyone entering the world of kink attended a class like this. The entire class was done in such a professional, intentional and caring way.

I am so grateful to Dan & Renee for this event and the space they have created in the kink community. What an incredibly beautiful gift they have given us by extending their knowledge and helping make the kink community a safe space. I feel great pride being able to be part of a community with leaders who care as much as Dan & Renee & their staff do.

I have referred quite a few Tops who claim to do rope bondage but have received zero education to All Tied Up, just from knowing of their reputation from what I’ve heard about them in the community. After meeting someone from AllTiedUpSD at Club X’s Xplore event, I decided to attend the Try One On event and register for the Getting Started Class. As a bottom without a current Top, I naively hadn’t considered coming to the class by myself. So grateful I came and tried it out!

Also…fun bonus…I stayed for the Lab event after the Getting Started Class, and was able to tie and be tied. I will say, as a bottom to my core, I was nervous tying someone else, but the folks there offered incredible support. I 1000% still prefer being a rope bottom, but I think it’s valuable for me to learn what goes into tying as well. 🫶🏼

I’ve been filled with immense gratitude & hope after attending this event. 🫶🏼💖 if you’re local to San Diego and haven’t gone to All Tied Up San Diego’s events, do yourself a favor and go register for a class or event! You’ll get to experience the Getting Started Class, as it’s a prerequisite for attending any of their other events, and even (maybe especially) if you’re experienced in kinky land, you will appreciate all that is included in the class.

Renee, and Dan run an excellent class with an emphasis on safety for all. Both teachers, and their aides, are very hospitable and share instruction with the utmost tact.

Very informative class, looking forward to this journey.

Very knowledgeable and likable presentation.

Training is really well thought out. Very easy to go back and review as needed.

A great introduction to rope with lots of interesting information!

I was so impressed at the professionalism and expertise given and displayed during the Getting Started class. The overview is so comprehensive that shows this could be something enjoy moving forward into the community.

I learned so much in this class. Not just about rope, but about kink and myself. Thank you Dan and Renee for a wonderful experience.

Wonderful workshop! The material was incredibly informative. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Refreshing to get a more holistic perspective! Would recommend to everyone interested in rope or new to the community

My wife and I had a great time and learned a lot. Dan helped us to connect and showed us the deeper side of shibari. The intro class is essential for safety especially for new enthusiasts.
