The strappado position was a torture and interrogation position used in the Spanish Inquisition.
Strappado refers to any tie that restrains the arms behind the body.
In strappados, the flexibility of your bunny is very important, because holding the tension just right must involve extensive communication with them. It is best to push farther, and newer rope tops may have trouble getting the tension correct at each rung.
Downward Built Strappado
Form lark’s head, split it, and then rotate your hands once again.
- forming a butterfly over the neck, come with the ends under the armpits, through the underside of the rope going behind the neck, and down. The lines from under the armpits, behind the horizontal band, forward, and directly down the spine.
2. run down a few inches to for the first rung, somewhere on the triceps.
Form a left curve (holding) around one arm, then full wrap (not figure-8) to the other arm, coming back to reverse tension by way of in front of the intersected line (top left), catching the reverse side band by the body, pulling it inwards and running back up to the top right (this forms an X friction)
3. move down
Shown here as a 4-line, 2-rope tie using red-blue color scheme.
