  I really enjoyed the fencing class. It was fun, informative, and a good work out too! The instructors were great, especially Jon Girl, who if she doesn't teach full time somewhere, is missing her calling. She is well spoken, knowledgeable, entertaining, and very patient. A great teacher indeed! I am pondering signing up for the upcoming beginner class.

  An absolute pleasure to work with Jon and Peter. Instructors were thorough and they allowed plenty of time for fencing. No need to take your own photos as they kept on top of class photography while making the experience super enjoyable. Expect: brief introduction, warm up, guided fencing instruction, and a round robin group exercise. They even allowed time at the end for group photos and partner fencing. Free photo share! Would highly recommend as I loved every second of it!

  I and three friends went to a fencing class as part of a birthday weekend celebration of fun new experiences. We had a blast! My husband wasn't too thrilled with the 10-minute physical warm-up, but the rest of the class progressed well and by the end we were fencing! It was a pretty good workout, though the total time spent sweating in the 2.5-hour class wasn't significant. And it makes for fun pictures!

Jon-girl and her assistant also take lots of awesome photos of your experience. This class sells out way in advance so book early!

  This class was great! It was incredibly affordable - I would have paid double what I did pay for the amount of instruction time that we got. My only wish would be for an ongoing adult class where we could keep going back! The instructor was incredibly funny and also really attentive to each person in the class. The class size was great and allowed for everyone to interact. Aside from my one-minute sparring partner who thought he was in Game of Thrones and stabbed my leg in an effort to look cool, I have no complaints. I would just wear thicker pants next time!

  From Teacher:
  

  Hi Jill! Awesome feedback here, thank you! Moving forward, I will definitely remind everyone that target area is torso only. With beginners, point control is always an issue, so it's normal to get hit in the legs. Good reminder here to keep an eye on such things, so I'll relay to staff to watch for it.

  As for the continuation of fencing classes, I left a brief description of the 4-week adult beginner course in my thank you email. I usually wait until students reach out, if they want to continue. I'll send you a personal email with class details. It's super that you are interested! Thank you again for signing up and leaving feedback, you're a rockstar!

After being fitted for gear, we were given an introduction, led in a solid warm-up, then introduced to skills. We were immersed in some sparring, too, with assorted partners. Brief breaks between activities enabled us to catch our breath and hydrate and ensured that the group remained interested, alert, and learning.

Because of the way it's taught, you can certainly come alone, without worrying you'll be singled out.

  Very fun and engaging class. Class does start a little slow, but it's great in that it teaches you about fencing. Once the class gets going, it's all hard work and fun. Prepare to be worked hard and feel sore and tired afterwards.

  It was a fun class and very interesting to learn a bout a sport you don't normally hear about. The instructor was sweet, charming, and detail-oriented in helping us better acquaint ourselves to the world of fencing. Also, lot of pictures, so that was neat.

  This class was both incredibly fun and informative. There was just enough time spent on the basic fundamentals, and we were able to jump right in. Fencing is an insane leg workout- and above all, we got to experience something new with fun, positive instructors alongside others who have never tried fencing before. Overall, an A+ experience!

  Overall, we had a great introduction into fencing. They began the session with an overview of the types of fencing, then a warm up, then some simple footwork, then we had a chance to fence! The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. At the end, they took some great photos and emailed them to us. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a fun, active and enjoyable afternoon activity. I would say that you should be in at least moderate shape for it to be fun the ENTIRE time! :)

  This class was both educational and a lot of fun. A portion of the class was dedicated to learning more about the sport itself, then the rest was hands on practice. While I'm definitely not a fencing pro, I learned a lot of the basics and think I could now hold my own in a conversation about the sport. I'd definitely recommend this class--just be prepared to work up a sweat!

There was plenty of practice time and then a fun photo session afterwards. I recommend bringing plenty of water, and a towel and deodorant, and something to tie your hair back. All safety apparel is provided and is clean.

  This was a blast. The instructor was thorough without going overboard. She gave us the important basics, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Despite the fact that the class required very specific footwork, body positioning, and was very strenuous (at least for me, a "sort of" in shape 30-something), she continued to encourage us and made sure we were having fun.
