Breakout Sessions @ BMc5

All BMc5 breakout sessions are limited space workshops and open to the public.

A Gentleman's Weapon: Cane & Walking Stick Self-Defense:
Led by Bro. Mumia Obsidian Ali
The martial arts has been a mainstay of interest and activity in American life, thanks largely to Hollywood - from Bruce Lee to Keanu Reeve's "John Wick" and beyond, the various styles and forms of martial arts and self-defense have gotten their due - with the lone exception of the humble cane or walking stick. In the real world, increasingly repressive restrictions on personal protection and self-defense options make it ever harder for the rank and file American citizen to protect themselves, their property and their loved ones. Guns, knives and other weapons simply aren't allowed (lawfully) into many areas - schools, courthouses, airports and the like. But the unsung hero of the martial arts world - the lowly walking cane - can. In this course, "Cane Fu" master Mumia Obsidian Ali teaches you all that he knows, both from scholarly study, and real time "on the streets" experience, about the devastating stopping power of the cane!
Attendees will receive:
- 1 weapons grade walking cane
- 1 signed copy of "The Book of Cane"

Sexual Intelligence: Upping Your Bedroom Game:
Led by Bro. Mumia Obsidian Ali
Much has been said - rightly so - about the importance of Emotional Intelligence to women; men with a high "EQ" will invariably do better with them than men with a low score. Similarly, men who are good in the bedroom - who have a high "SQ" - fare much better than men who do not. With some SEVENTY PERCENT of women reporting NOT achieving orgasm regularly with their (male!) sexual partners, with fifteen percent of American marriages now being completely sexless, and with a whopping THIRTY PERCENT of younger men aged 18 to 30 reporting not having had sex at all in the past year(!), it is clear that men need to brush up on their bedroom skills. In this course, Mumia Obsidian Ali shows you all his favorite tricks to keep a lady's bottom happy!

What is AI?:
Led by Bro. Theo WAF
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the game-changing technology that powers machines to think, learn, and act like humans—only faster and without the coffee breaks. In this 45-minute session, we’ll break down what AI really is: from the algorithms that predict your next online purchase to the systems driving self-driving cars and even helping doctors save lives. Designed for the curious and the skeptical alike, we’ll explore how AI works, why it’s reshaping everything from jobs to warfare, and what it means for you—whether you’re a tech junkie or just wondering if your fridge will start talking back. Expect clear examples, a bit of humor, and a chance to ask the big questions about the future we’re all stepping into.

AI and The Workplace:
Led by Bro. Theo WAF
AI is no longer sci-fi—it’s rewriting the rules of work, and this 45-minute session will show you how. We’ll dive into how Artificial Intelligence is transforming the workplace, from automating grunt tasks to supercharging decision-making, and what it means for the jobs you do or lead. Aimed at the practical and the forward-thinking, we’ll cover real examples—think AI spotting supply chain hiccups or drafting reports faster than your intern—while tackling the big stuff: Will it take your job, or make you better at it? Expect straight talk, a dash of grit, and time to wrestle with how AI’s reshaping careers, competition, and the daily grind for men like us.

AISecOps: a Demonstration:
Led by Bro. Theo WAF
Welcome to 'AISecOps: a Demonstration,' where we’ll pull back the curtain on how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing security operations—and you’ll see it in action. In this 45-minute session, we’ll dive into AISecOps, blending AI’s brainpower with real-time cybersecurity to outsmart threats faster than any human could alone. Tailored for the hands-on and the hard-nosed, expect a live demo showing AI detecting intrusions, flagging risks, and even predicting attacks—think of it as your digital guard dog on steroids. We’ll keep it practical, skip the fluff, and leave room for you to grill me on how this tech can lock down your world, from networks to nuts-and-bolts operations.

AI and Traditional Computing:
Led by Bro. Theo WAF
AI and Traditional Computing collide in this 45-minute session, where we’ll unpack how these two powerhouses differ, overlap, and team up to drive the tech you rely on. We’ll dig into the nuts and bolts: traditional computing’s rigid, rule-based logic versus AI’s adaptive, learning-driven smarts—think assembly lines versus a brain that evolves. Aimed at the curious and the no-nonsense, we’ll compare how they crunch data, solve problems, and shape everything from your spreadsheet software to self-learning bots, with real-world examples to ground it. Expect a clear-eyed look at their strengths, limits, and why understanding both matters for any man navigating today’s digital turf.

AI and Private Cloud:
Led by Bro. Theo WAF
Get ready for 'AI and Private Cloud,' a 45-minute deep dive into how Artificial Intelligence supercharges the secure, controlled world of private cloud computing—and why it’s a game-changer for men who value power and privacy. We’ll explore how AI amps up private clouds, from optimizing resources and predicting system hiccups to locking down data with smarter security, all while keeping it in-house. Built for the pragmatic and the tech-savvy, this session delivers real examples—like AI-driven analytics humming on a private server—plus a no-BS look at the benefits and challenges. Bring your questions; we’ll cut through the hype and figure out how this combo can work for you.

Crypto represents one of the most significant opportunities for wealth building in our generation, and right now, we have a chance to write our own financial future.

Participants will engage in a realistic cold-approach scenario with our female co-facilitator, initiating conversation and demonstrating their intent.
