Social hour to begin at 5:30pm

Introduction to Flogging

For this class, I will bombard the class with lots of different concepts and techniques, and then after the demo work with individuals and small groups to develop the skills I introduce in the class. Some of these topics will include:
● Quick and easy flogger construction
● Show and tell different types of floggers
● Safety and anatomy
● Single flogger strikes
● Rhythmic flogging (single flogger)
● Rhythmic flogging (dual floggers)
● Florentine flogging
● Wrapping, cracking, and other unconventional ways to strike with a flogger.

After I demo these, I will be available for individual and small group instruction where we can drill and practice any of the things I showed during the demo. This is a BYOF event, so please bring your own floggers.

For quick and easy flogger construction, recommendations are as follows: 20 feet of rope, Athletic tape, EMT shears, leather boot laces, or rubber bands

Bio

I'm Tony. I am currently the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors for The Red Chair in Birmingham, AL. I became officially active in the lifestyle at the beginning of 2008. I began my studies by attending a rope workshop by Jay Wiseman. I learned some interesting rope tricks there, and for a couple of months it was just a hobby. Then I got my hands on my first rope slut. She got that universal rope bottom grin as soon as my first knot cinched, and I was hooked immediately on that energy and feedback.

Since then, I've added Florentine flogging and single tail whips to my list of specialties. I also am kind of a tinker; I'll "invent" S&M toys out of almost anything. But rope bondage will always be my first love.

I am a dominant, and I consider myself a “pain player” instead of a sadist. I’d rather eat glass than make someone truly suffer. Don’t get me wrong, I like getting blood on the wall. I just want to be thanked for it afterward.

I am Leather. I will happily talk endlessly about Leather protocol and lifestyle, although I'll be the first to admit that I still have a LOT to learn. I intend to work very hard to preserve traditions that many feel are dying. This means that I must serve as a bridge between the quasi-mythical "Old Guard" and everyone else. So far that's just entailed learning from those who are willing to teach, and teaching those who are willing to learn. Perhaps that is ALL that is needed. Only time will tell.

PALS (Panhandle Alternative Lifestyle Society) is an educational and social group whose focus centers on the BDSM, Leather, Fetish, Kink, and Alternative Lifestyle located in the Florida Panhandle area. We are pan-sexual, accepting of anyone and any adult-oriented fetish, and seek to help those interested in exploring this lifestyle in any way we can, within the parameters of our by-laws.

No one under the age of 21 may attend meetings, munches, or any other PALS sponsored event.
