Art of Fight - Rough Body Play (Queers & Womxn)

Use your body in a vastly different way. Restricted, restrained, maybe even tamed – our bodies are subdued to very strict rules and movements in our daily lives. Time to get primal and rough. Rough body play allows for more fighting, emotions and a deeper exploration of power dynamics than play fights.

Our intro class to rough body play for Queers & Womxn gives you all the necessary ins and outs:

• warm-up exercises

• consent & safety

• dos & don’ts

• techniques, effective take-downs

We will conclude the class with randori (free fights) time to try your new skills and have fun.

What to consider & what to bring:

Please assess your body abilities and health situation thoroughly. RBP can be an intense experience, both physically and mentally and only you can estimate if this is right for you. While we cover safety aspects everything at the event happens at your own risk. Ideally you are open to experience both sides of RBP as well as interact with other.

Bring sports wear or other flexible/comfortable clothes, ideally covering elbows and knees to avoid “mat burn”. Keep in mind that sometimes clothes get destroyed by accident. A change of clothes as well as a towel or two are also needed.
