Knot Here Amsterdam
Community organizer running a monthly afternoon rope jam in a two-floor space with suspension points and a separate social room, alongside occasional weekend workshops and ‘Kinbaku Night’ demonstration evenings with invited teachers.
Knot Here describes itself as an organizer of rope events in Amsterdam that wants to give the community a welcoming place to meet and share a love of rope. Its core event is a monthly rope jam on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, from 1 to 6 pm. Entry is possible only in the first half hour, to avoid disturbing neighbors and the yoga class held before the jam.
The venue is a few minutes’ walk from Weesp station; the exact address is printed on the ticket. Rope takes up two upper floors: a large open room with twelve bamboo suspension points and plenty of space for floor work, plus a social room upstairs with free tea, coffee and snacks and a yoga wall with rings that can also be used for rope. There is no elevator. Suspension points may be used only after the organizers have asked about the person’s experience and handed out a wristband. Spotting is recommended for anything new.
The jam is for free tying, watching and socializing, not teaching. Newcomers are welcome to watch or practice, but the organizers point them to their workshops for technique. Solo visitors are welcome and self-tying is encouraged, though finding a partner is not guaranteed. The house rules set an age minimum of 18, ban alcohol and drugs, and make clear the jams are for rope bondage, not play parties. Photos need explicit consent from everyone in the frame, and video needs the organizers’ permission. A pay-it-forward option lets buyers add €10 to fund half-price tickets for others.
Alongside the jam, Knot Here runs themed afternoons. “Mix & Match” is a structured rope speed-dating session with exercises on feedback and boundaries, and “Bottoms Up” is a discussion afternoon for rope bottoms led by experienced bottoms; both cost €20. It also hosts multi-day workshops such as a strappado immersion and “Kinbaku Night” evenings that combine performance with a jam, including one with Stuart and PuurKris in September 2025, who also taught an introductory weekend on aibunawa. Events are held in English, with Dutch help where needed.
