Beginner: Chapter 5: Bent Into Place: Futomomo Tie

Control, compression and communication - it’s time to intensify your rope game!

Explore the classic futomomo, a folded leg tie that creates a strong, sculptural shape.

In the 5th class of our beginner series, you’ll learn how to build and refine this pattern, adapt it to various flexibility levels, and play with levels of tightness and intensity.

Prerequisites: to make the most of this class, riggers should know how to tie a single column cuff and reverse tension.

What to bring/wear: We will be tying tight rope on the legs. For bottom’s comfort, avoid wearing baggy pants or jeans that may catch in the rope.
