Subjugation scenarios are among the most widespread and elementary erotic fantasies. Yet only few of us act on them and create real-life scenarios where our partner’s playful resistance is overcome in a sensual manner. The primary reason generally is an uncertainty about how to realise such scenarios safely and consensually.
Subjugation games are a form of Rough Body Play (RBP) - a very direct physical manifestation of BDSM. It encompasses everything from joyful scuffles to intense existential sessions. Its focus is less on tools and toys but rather on direct physical contact through physical dominance or stylized confrontation between a “top” and a “bottom” (this discriminates it from play fighting where there normally are no such roles). RBP allows us to experience our own strength and “power” in a particularly acute way. Despite its obvious physical aspect, Rough Body Play also features a strong psychological component. However, it derives its particular fascination from its unique “carnal” appeal and its use of certain symbols of violence. In their unique concept, Frank and Sheila blend martial arts and BDSM. Their Kinky Kung Fu turns martial arts, developed for fighting and even killing, into arts of pleasure and kink.
Frank and Sandra will teach the basic know-how required for safe subjugation games and Rough Body Play, and create a protected safe space in which to experiment with and to experience one’s fantasies. Other topics will include: observing and maintaining boundaries, the use of body language and facial expression, forms of resistance, strong to painful holds and grappling, trigger points, shoving, pushing, hair pulling, face slapping, controlled use of the fist, guiding one’s partner to the ground safely, using one’s body weight and pinning one’s partner to the ground, kicking, and the use of “stylistically appropriate” tools.
The workshop is intended not just for experienced BDSM players of all genders who are interested in carnal scenarios, but also for those who are seeking to take a first step towards BDSM (the focus on one’s body and feelings rather than on tools can be helpful here). And it further addresses anyone who, regardless of BDSM, enjoys these kinds of games. To those who may find the topic confrontational (e.g., those who may unfortunately have had to experience real violence) we would however politely suggest to refrain from participation (please contact us if unsure). Previous experience with martial arts or an above average level of fitness is not required, but please be sure to meet the basic health requirements for engaging in sports and physical activity.

Frank T. studied philosophy, German philology and economics; for his Master’s degree he wrote his thesis on “Prejudices”. Frank has been practicing various martial arts since 1984 (incl. karate, jiu-jitsu and WingTsun since 1991). He is a self-defence teacher and runs his own martial arts school.
His experience in the area of martial arts and self-defense and his passion for playful fighting came together in 2005. Since then Frank has held numerous workshops, both in Germany (e.g. at Schwelle7, Zentrum für sexuelle Bildung, Zwischenräume, Haus der Kulturen der Welt) and internationally (England, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Spain, Italy), primarily on play fighting and rough body play – he developed his own and unique approach to these disciplines. Frank has about 20 years of practical experience with BDSM.
