Yes, I’m brand-new or unsure.

Step 2: Are you focusing on floor ties?

Yes, I’m working on floor ties. Choose one of these two.

Option A: Lion Tamer Kit — Natural Jute

  • Contents: 6 × 8 m, 1 × 4 m, 1 × 1.5 m
  • Why this kit: The 4 m and 1.5 m pieces make transitions, frictions, and finishes smoother during floor work, with a consistent natural-jute feel and look.

Option B: Lion Tamer Kit — Black & Gold Mixed

  • Contents: 6 × 8 m, 1 × 4 m, 1 × 1.5 m
  • Why this kit: High-contrast pattern is excellent for self-tie practice and for video or photos, keeping lines easy to see while matching the same functional lengths.

No, I’m beyond floor work.
Move to Step 3.

Step 3: Are you doing advanced work or suspension-ready training?

Choose one of these two.

Option A: Trapeze Kit

  • Contents: 8 × 8 m, 2 × 4 m, 2 × 1.5 m
  • Why this kit: A pro-style spread with ample 8 m workhorses for harness bases and wide body wraps, plus 4 m and 1.5 m pieces for chest harnesses, transitions, cuffs, and tight finishes.
  • The most bought kit for performer riggers is either the crimson or natural jute

Option B: Custom Kit - Contact me

  • Build exactly what you need: rope count, lengths, and colorway.
  • Why this kit: Ideal if you already know your line map, preferred tie sequence, or specific performance needs.

Quick Notes on Materials and Fit

  • Material and diameter: All kits use premium 6 mm Ogawa jute for reliable handling and a comfortable balance of grip and glide.
  • Length logic: 8 m lines are everyday workhorses. 4 m supports wraps, transitions, and chest harness segments. 1.5 m is perfect for frictions, quick cuffs, hair ties, and tidy finishes.
  • Color choice: Natural Jute is timeless and tactile. Black & Gold Mixed improves visual contrast for learning, self-tie framing, and filming. C
