Since many participants of “Overpowering” asked for a continuation, there are now two Overpowering-workshops available: A “classic” and a “more” version. Both work as an introduction into the topic and a continuation of the other workshop.
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 & 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 & Sheila 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, 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 or who may unfortunately have experienced traumatic violence, we would suggest to contact us prior to registering. We'll be happy to answer your questions in order to find out if this workshop is right for you at this time. 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.
We welcome couples of any kind and single people of any gender. In order to maintain a gender balance we may have to create a waiting list.
