This class will cover the basics of whip cracking technique as well as offer technical advice to more advanced students. Recognizing that people are often at different skill levels, the instructor will do his best to provide beneficial instruction to each class member whatever their level of experience. Also discussed will be the use of single tail whips in kink scenarios with heavy focus on safety and etiquette. A few whips will be on hand for general use, but the student should bring their own whip if they have one. Some starter practice whips will be available for sale for $50. Students should bring ear plugs (or headphones), eye protection (safety or sun glasses), and wear long pants. A wide brimmed (cowboy-style) hat is also a good idea but not necessary. Aaron Bonk is a circus arts and Kink performer holding 2 Guinness World Records in whip cracking and known for his show at the New York Renaissance Faire which features juggling of many dangerous sharp objects and culminates in a Florentine style double fire whip routine. He’s performed for numerous fetish events in Ohio and Florida, at Renaissance faires across the country, and on cruise ships around the world.
