Step into the world of impact play with curiosity, confidence, and care. Impact 101: The Art of Playful Strikes is a foundational class designed for those who are new to—or curious about—the dynamic energy of impact in kink and BDSM. This class focuses not only on technique, but also on the artistry and intentionality behind every strike.

Impact is more than just hitting—it’s about rhythm, communication, sensation, and connection. In this class, participants will explore the wide spectrum of impact play, from light, teasing taps to more intense thuds and stings, while learning how to safely create an experience that is playful, consensual, and deeply satisfying for everyone involved.

Topics will include:

Consent & Negotiation: How to establish boundaries, set expectations, and build trust before picking up any toy or hand.

Tools of the Trade: An overview of common impact instruments—hands, paddles, floggers, crops, canes—and how each creates unique sensations.

Techniques & Targeting: Where to strike (and where not to), understanding body safety zones, and how to vary intensity and rhythm for maximum effect.

Sensation Play: Blending impact with anticipation, contrast, and tempo to craft a layered experience.

Mindset & Connection: The role of body language, energy exchange, and presence in creating intimacy and playfulness.

Aftercare: Why it matters, how to provide it, and how it deepens trust and resilience after a scene.

This class is interactive, approachable, and designed for all levels of experience—whether you’re nervously curious, eager to expand your skills, or simply seeking to add more creativity and confidence to your play. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to wield impact as both an art form and a tool of pleasure, connection, and expression.

Impact 101: The Art of Playful Strikes invites you to discover the balance between power and play, structure and improvisation, safety and freedom—so that every strike is more than just a hit, but part of an intimate dance between partners.
