Hello Midori,
Thank you for this incredible experience that was the Rope Dojo. I first saw you on HBO’s Real Sex many years ago and was looking forward to seeing you in action.
I did not have any specific expectations going in (to me it was the only vacation I could afford (timewise and moneywise) this year. As such it was very effective as well as I forgot all about the stressful work tasks coming this week. Not only do I come out of this training with a better understanding of the subject matter but a better understanding of myself. I
have also gained more confidence when it comes to being able to accomplish a task without having done it before.
I just finished teaching two back-to-back personalized MS Project sessions and used techniques learned this weekend to gather information about my trainee’s experience level, plot and offer a list of training activities to fit their needs. I was really tempted to ask: “What do you look or sound like when your multimedia project is going well?” 
As I get ready to fight to turn my soon ending contract position into a full-time position or interview for the job of my dreams, I thank you for a week-end that has been an all-around boost to my self-confidence, especially in a group setting (although the hot guy that I was with helped a lot too ).
Sincerely,
Miss Eva Vavoom

“The dojo was FANTASTIC. Seriously, awesome. I wasn’t comfortable at the time with saying how yours and Delano’s demonstration affected me, but I can say now it was very moving.
Beyond that, the gatling techniques mixed with theory and safety was a perfect mix.
Plus, as a first-timer, it was absolutely incredible to meet such wonderful people involved with all of this — I was blown away with the understanding and helpfulness of everyone in the room!
Simon.
ps - the one thing I noticed, and loved, about your demo takedown, was the push and pull of tension — it wasn’t a smooth ramp, and the peak wasn’t the end. It was a jagged ramp of tenderness and dominance, and it really spoke to the part of me that can hardly talk back yet.
In time!

” Hi everyone,
I am still totally blown away by the Rope Dojo this weekend in Montreal!
I can’t believe how much a learned in so little time. I basically arrived on Saturday morning knowing VERY little about bondage other than knowing that I adore being on either end of the rope. I left Sunday evening feeling confident that I could safely have an amazing bondage scene.
I feel as if the dojo got me started on my path towards a lifetime of learning all about ropes.
Needless to say, Midori is a sensational educator. I’ve witnessed this in several of her workshops in the past but it was even more apparent this weekend.
DeLano’s funny yet quiet, respectful nature was a perfect compliment to Midori. He made me laugh, learn, and feel his love for the ropes.
Kelly and Michelle were absolutely perfect. The way that they simply hinted at the next step that was stumping me was exactly what I needed They unassumingly made their way around the room and they always seemed to be there when I was starting to struggle. Thank you both so much!
The only downside - I’m unsure how I will ever be able to do the alien baby knot without making that dreadful sound! lol
Bravo to you all!
Annie”
