Aside from private sessions and house topping, I also love teaching!
All classes use a 90 minute format and can be shortened or lengthened per your event needs. Throwing a play party? Book me to teach a class as an ice breaker, and have me house top so attendees can see the class material in action! Contact Yes Mx Mai @ gmail . com to schedule.

Description: Want to add more fun to your impact scenes? Want to up your impact game? In this fun class, you will be taught different games to add to your scenes. Some of the games include clothes pins, stickers, playing cards, and more! Whether you are looking to get in some target practice or add some fun to your scene this class will give you some tools for your tool box to make impact more fun!
Kind of Class: Demo

Description: It can be hard to communicate during an impact scene especially in a loud, crowded dungeon. This can be an especially complicated issue when you’re doing pick up play:
When you’re facing away from your partner, how do you communicate effectively in a scene? How do you cue your impact bottom that you’re switching toys? What if your impact top is hitting you too hard?
In this class, Mayhem will teach how they non-verbally communicate with their scene partners during play. Using simple hand gestures and body poses, both the top and bottom in any scene will be able to quickly read each other without using words at all. At the end of this class you will feel more confident in being able to communicate to your partner during your impact scenes!

Description: How do we kink out without throwing our backs out? Impact topping is a contact sport! If you are topping with incorrect form, it can lead to injuries not just to the top, but to the bottom as well. Does your back hurt after impact topping? What body postures are most sustainable for throwing? Is your precision needing improvement? Mayhem will teach you how to throw more effectively for better impact with several different implements including: floggers, canes, paddles, and bare hands. You will leave this class with better knowledge on how to impact top more effectively.

Skill Level: Beginner, note this class is geared toward impact tops
Prerequisites: Attendees should have a basic knowledge of dungeon etiquette and general impact toy names.

Description: Two is always better than one! Mayhem is known for their dual wielding impact style, and in this class Mayhem will teach you how to throw double floggers, canes, paddles, and more! You will then have time to practice your new skill set and get feedback from Mayhem. Come learn the basics of throwing matched pairs of impact toys, using both hands, at the same time! Note: Dual wielding is not the same as Florentine flogging (which Mayhem can teach by request). This class will not focus on Florentine flogging.
Kind of Class: Demo
Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced
Prerequisites: Ability to throw an impact toy one handed, plus ability to practice throwing a pair of toys with both hands.
Materials needed: Two impact toys of the same type and size (ex: floggers, canes, paddles). No toys? Bring your hands! Leather gloves are recommended if only using hands. -
Description: Most folks have heard of Florentine flogging, but not many are familiar with poi flogging or finger flogging. In this class Mayhem will discuss their preferred poi floggers, how to throw a poi flogger, and how to throw two poi floggers at the same time. This supervised demo and lab will demonstrate the physics of throwing finger floggers using both hands.
Kind of Class: Demo

Prerequisites: Knowledge of how to throw a traditional handled flogger will be helpful. Pease come to this class with at least one poi flogger. This class will not be using traditional handled floggers. Taking my class titled “Flow and Flourish: Dual Wielding for Impact Play” will help you combine playing double handed with throwing poi floggers.
Materials needed: One poi flogger. Bring two if you want to learn how to throw double handed.
