Class Description:

Many of us like rough body play, and many of us like rope bondage too. What could be better than both combined? In this workshop we will look at using grappling take downs and pins to keep our partner still while we tie them, and ways we can use rope to control and move them as we play.

Topics covered will include:

• Negotiation
• Safety
• Take Down
• Pins
• Quick Ties
• Body Manipulation

Prerequisites and Equipment:

Attendees should know a non-collapsing single and (preferably) a double column tie.

About the Instructors:

mr_O (he/him)

Mr O is a creative sadist with a love of medical play, a penchant for violent grappling scenes, and a very cute bum. Having spent 20+ years as a jiu jitsu competitor and instructor, he has found ways to apply his knowledge of body mechanics to kinky play and shares that in his teaching. Active in the Canadian BDSM scene since 2005, he regularly puts on workshops internationally as well as locally in the Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa areas on subjects including wrestling, grappling and medical play. With an engineering based background and scientific mind, he is known for continually inventing new devices and ways to hurt people “for science”. When he's not being nice he can be a bit mean. And vice versa

toy (she/her)

toy has been active in the the BDSM and rope scene for over 10 years and has been educating internationally as well as in her local community of Ottawa/Montreal/Toronto for about 5. She is passionate about sharing her experience with other bottoms so they can safely explore some of the scarier and more intimate aspects of both psychological and physical play. As an educator, she firmly believes in classes that include both top and bottom perspectives, as it empowers both to create a safer and ultimately more fulfilling scene or dynamic. She is one of the cofounders & instructors of CORE - A Collective in Ottawa for Rope Education, which aims to provide foundational rope classes welcoming people of all genders, abilities, ages, socio-economics, & orientations from a range of communities in the Ottawa area.
