Surrender: Wrestling & Bondage (Pride) Play Party
Surrender is NYC’s ultimate wrestling and kink party! Step onto the mats or just watch in a safe, fun, body-positive space. Expect wrestling, bondage, lounge area for cuddles between matches, vendors, snacks and community.
This edition celebrates PRIDE and non-rope bondage with a workshop/demo by Knotabrat. Rep your rainbow flag and bring your personal flair!
Surrender is NYC’s favorite kinky, queer wrestling party with house-party vibes. Roll with friends, meet new allies or explore at your own pace. Newbies and wrestling-curious welcome. There’s plenty to entertain you even if you don’t want to wrestle: explore vendors, chill and cuddle in the lounge, eat a snack and chat or just watch the action unfold.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP PRESENTER
Chris (@Knotabrat) is a bottom/sub-leaning switch active in NYC rope circles and the kink scene since January 2024, primarily exploring rope as a connective somatic language and BDSM as self-expression, shared energy, and the joys of fun co-creation. As a passionate community builder and neurodivergent kinkster, he organizes two local munches (the movie-focused CineMunch and neurodivergent-centered The Yap), as well as facilitating the Bushwick Rope Share.
