Frank (he/him) has been practicing various martial arts since 1984 and works professionally in the field. In his workshop concepts, he combines his experience in martial arts and self-defence with his passion for playful fighting, BDSM and philosophy.
Sheila (she/her), Frank’s partner in crime, brings a diverse background in various forms of bodywork and sports, including Shiatsu, breathwork, dance, martial arts, cave diving and hang gliding. She is a trainer in touch communication, loves exploring unfamiliar territory and finding new ways to play with movement and interaction.
Together, they have been teaching internationally and bring a broad range of professional experience to their work. The founders of the Bodyplay Academy are among the pioneers of Rough Body Play and Playfighting and have developed and refined their own approach over the years. At the heart of their work is their unique Bodyplay concept, bringing together decades of experience in BDSM, bodywork and martial arts.
Their workshops are a place to play and experiment in a safe setting. Frank and Sheila teach with humour and plenty of interaction, including the many glimpses into the more private corners of their own relationship.
