Primal Play: Serial Killer 101
Playing when the human checks out.... but you don't have to kill anyone.
Saturday, September 11
1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
Annex
$20
This course is all about playing with a different sort of beast, the
one that is very dangerous and unpredictable and lives inside each of
us.
In the animal world there's always struggle and savagery. Dominance
and submission are seldom given willingly, and almost always fought
for. The struggle usually involves biting and clawing and scratching
born of animal instinct. For humans that can tap into this type of
headspace, it can be a profound experience, a valuable tool, and if
done right it will certainly be a whole lot of fun.
Expect this advanced, edgy, psychological presentation to be just
about the freakiest course you'll ever experience. Explore what it
takes to get to a primal state, learn how to manipulate stressors and
triggers that make it happen, and find out what can be done with it.
Take a realistic look at your play partners and determine if it is
feasible. Learn how to stay in control when you're mostly out of
control and how to not cross the line when devouring your prey.
This course is not puppy play, nor is it "channeling animal
spirit." Instead, this course is a hard look at deviant psychology and
how to use it within your play. It details taking your play to a
wholly different and exciting level, doing it safely and most
importantly, coming back from the abyss once you've been there.
Advanced level psychological play/attack play -- handout included and Q&A at the end.

Elegant Pain Compliance (Female Identified only)
Friday, September 17
5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
$20
In the Elegant Pain Compliance workshop, MojoDaddy will teach you
how to control your submissive in an elegant manner through the use of
techniques derived from various martial art forms. Even the strongest
and most stubborn bottom can be easily subdued with these methods while
you maintain your poise and grace. For those of you who attended this
workshop last year, MojoDaddy will be reviewing some of the techniques
previously presented as well as teaching additional techniques to add
to your Elegant Pain Compliance repertoire.
Note: This workshop teaches skills to help equalize the size and
strength disparity women often encounter in resistance power-play
situations. It is therefore intended for women only (female identified).

Pack Attack: Full-Contact Resistance Takedowns
Saturday, September 18
11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
$20 (or $55 for all three)
If you didn't make this class last time Mojo was in town, here's your chance!
There are those who crave - and need - nothing less than a real
"fight for your life" struggle. These adrenaline junkies will not
respect anything less than being overpowered and becoming truly
helpless, at the mercy of his/her attackers, touching the primal nerve
of being predator/prey, conqueror/captive.
This workshop will enable you to walk that fine line and fulfill one
of the most difficult fantasies to satisfy safely. Attendees will learn
how to plan, prepare, and execute these full-resistance, surprise
abductions using a synchronized- team approach. You will learn about
what tools you can use and how to use them effectively without causing
harm to the lucky 'victim'.

Developing Command Presence through Intimidation Play
Saturday, September 18
3:00 PM to 4:30 PM
$20 (or $55 for all three)
Get more oomph from your play!
Intimidation can be overt and aggressive or it can be subtle yet
highly effective. Using intimidation can get you deeper into the mind
of your play partner, making them more pliable to your whim.
In this workshop, you'll learn non-verbal techniques using facial
expression, body language, gestures, props, and physical contact to
intimidate your subject. Learn how your tone of voice and choice of
words can increase the impact of what you say. Whether you're a
Pro-Domme seducing your next submissive prey or an interrogator of a
helpless spy, this workshop will teach you how to express your
self-confidence, control, and command presence so that your play
partner perks up, takes notice, and hangs on to your every word.

Power Wand Workshop
Sunday, September 19
1:30 PM to 3:30 PM
$20 (or $55 for all three)
What is a "Power Wand"? Also known by the brand name "Kubotan", it
is a small hand-held martial arts tool about the same size as a marker
pen. Discreet and simple to use, it is an elegant equalizer for smaller
tops to use in the control of larger and stronger bottoms.
In this workshop, you will learn how to safely and effectively use
the Power Wand as a device for deliciously wicked play time fun. In
your trained hands, this little gadget will have your play partner, no
matter how big, wincing at just the thought of you using it on them!
