Braxas & Nëya: Deconstructing the TK

The TK comes in many forms and variations, and it is taught differently by different schools which tailor their TK to the typical application of the school. In this workshop, together we will explore many of the varietals, such as tension/load management, frictions, kannuki application, stem vs stemless and more.

The goal of this workshop is not to teach you the ‘best TK’ as I believe such a thing does not exist. The goal is to give you an insight into how individual components interact with the overall structure so we can learn better adapt our TKs to suit our individual requirements.

Who is it for?
Those who already have an knowledge of at least one TK pattern but want to go deeper into how and why the individual components interact within the structure as a whole, to be able to create TK structures intuitively and without following a pattern.

Prerequisites?
• Knowledge of at least one TK pattern
• Models should be able to differentiate between circulation and nerve impingement

What to bring?
• 4 or more 5/6mm Jute or Hemp ropes (synthetic ropes cannot be used)
• Your preferred cutting tool
• Water bottle
• Notebook and pen, if necessary
