As usual, there'll be an illustrated handout to help you remember what was covered and to provide additional references.
This workshop assumes no previous bondage experience, and is appropriate for all genders and orientations.
Otis has 20+ years of martial arts experience - primarily aikido and eskrima. He's a former bouncer and Guardian Angel and a big bondage fan.
