You have now reached the chuukyuu (中級, intermediate) skill level of the Osada-ryu (長田流) school system.
We are delving right in to learn about two iconic suspensions: yokozuri (横吊り, side) and aomukezuri (仰向け吊り, face up).
These two suspensions are based on different chest harnesses:
a standard 3-rope takatekote (高手小手), and a tasuki-type (襷) takatekote.
This is followed by a very efficient immobilization-cum-render-helpless tie that we call toba shibari (鳥羽縛り). The arm positions resemble that of a bird with clipped wings, therefore it is unofficially referred to as 'buffalo wing' tie.
At the end of this course we are treated to the beautiful and very pleasing cat's cradle tie (ayatorinawa, 綾取り縄). (See photo on the left.)
