Akira Naka Workshop

Rope instruction with Japanese Kinbakushi and rope master Akria Naka.

Naka Sensei is the only direct deshi (student) of legendary master Nureki Chimuo and is known for his beautiful style, intense rope, and classic/traditional approach. As one of the top rope artists in the world, it is our privilege to welcome Naka Sensei and his partner Iroha San to Los Angeles for two full day workshops.

Classes will be offered at the introductory and intermediate level. Intermediate classes are only open to those who take the beginner class as well.

The introductory class will focus on the foundations and basic construction elements of Naka Ryu and will be required for participating in the more advanced section of the class.

Introductory classes will be held 8:00 am to 12:00 pm Saturday and Sunday and will be limited to 9 couples each day. There will be three spots each day for those who wish only to take the Introductory class (recommended for novices)

Intermediate classes will be held 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm Saturday and Sunday and will be limited to 6 couples.

Intermediate classes will cover more advanced ties and techniques, subject to the progress of students in the introductory class and at the discretion of Naka Sensei.

All prices are per couple. Saturday and Sunday classes will be the same, please select one or the other.
