Each class we will have introductory (101) and intermediate (201) lessons available along with open Jam space for general practice and light rope scening. Our jam space will have a handful of hard points available for those who know or are ready to learn suspension. During warmer months we may expand out onto the deck for more jam space.
April’s 201 will feature the Karada/Hishi Boxtie Harness as taught by our visiting presenter Running Aemok.
Meet our guest presenter for the 201 class sessions.
