A very fun experience! The instruction was great and the group made for a really nice time. It’s a great workout too! Thanks!

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.

Great class! So much fun.

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!

Amazing! What a great class. Forget the swashbuckling musketeers this was not only a great experience but a truly wonderful workout too. Jon-Girl was the most gracious and wonderful teacher and her assistant also put us through out paces. I would recommend this class to EVERYONE! An experience not to miss. Thank you.

The class was well-paced, comprehensive and a very good combination of instruction and practice. Lots of fun, and a hard workout!

Fencing with Red Star was an unforgettable experience, and I look forward to more fencing classes at this studio! The intructors were knowledgeable and very helpful; I felt out of my comfort zone while in a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

Class was awesome! I had no idea I'd enjoy fencing so much. 10/10

Class was perfect for beginners or dabblers, moves quick through lessons, warm ups, and stretches ending with fencing between everyone. Teacher was awesome, friendly and eager to be helpful. Highly recommend for anyone interested in fencing in any way.

Fantastic event, lots of fun, friendly, knowledgeable instructors and learned a lot! A+

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!

My husband and I attended class together and we both really enjoyed ourselves. The instructors are knowledgeable and pleasant. I would highly recommend this class to anyone/everyone!

GQ and Coach Nate were great. The class was a perfect balance of theory/learning and actual fencing action. Make sure you come prepared to get sweaty and enjoy a solid workout!

I had an awesome time!! I will be back!

Fabulous intro to fencing class for kids. Nate was a great instructor. My kids loved it!!

This class was worth the small price. Jon-Girl and GQ were very knowledgeable and patient with everyone. I learned so much about fencing and got to learn some basic moves. Considering the 4-week beginners course now!

Both instructors for this class were amazing! Jon Girl and GQ created a positive and fun atmosphere. I never felt like I was performing poorly or looking silly. While it was a serious/professional environment, it also allowed for some playfulness. I went with a group of my girlfriends and we never felt bad for our cases of the giggles. I learned so much, not only about how to fence but about the sport itself. This class is an absolute steal and I highly recommend grabbing a group of friends and giving it a try.

This class was amazing! Informative, fun and actually a great work out. Would recommend to anyone interested in the sport of fencing or just looking to try something new.

Great class. definitely going back

This was my first time fencing! The instructors were both efficient, organized, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It was a perfect class pace with the right amount of explanation and practice! 2.5 hours of instruction and equipment included makes it worth your money! It was great to learn the types of fencing. They even took some awesome pictures of everyone! We had a blast!

I purchased this class as a gift for my husband and we both loved it! The informational portion was helpful and not overly long which was appreciated. I liked the warm up portion and the actual fencing was a great workout and really fun. I highly recommend this class, it is well worth the cost and you get a fun afternoon and great pictures. Thank you Red Star Fencing!

I had zero experience in fencing and this class taught me a lot and was very interactive and fun. You do put on the gear and use kinda round robin against each other towards the end after warming up, learning footwork and basic attack and defense moves.

Unbelievable insight into fencing and great workout!

This class was great! It combined both education about fencing in general with instruction in the sport. (JG and GQ were great instructors!) The photos were a nice to touch and made for great keepsakes. Would definitely recommend this class!

Such a fun class and definitely a workout! Comprehensive overview and lots of practice time. Would definitely recommend!

What an amazing activity for kids!! I highly recommend it - the teacher was lovely and great with kids. Will definitely go back.

My buddies and I had a great time learning fencing from Jon-girl. We all came away knowing the rules and the basic techniques. This sport is WAY more difficult and exhausting than I had thought so be prepared for a workout! The class is an incredible value at $20, as you get 2.5+ hours of instruction and practice, and you can stay afterwards and keep fencing if you'd like (I was too pooped!). Jon-girl and her assistant also take lots of awesome photos of your experience. This class sells out way in advance so book early!

Great introduction to fencing. They were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was quite a workout, too!

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!

This class was really fun & sweaty. Definitely come ready to workout!!! Definitely recommend it to get your blood pumping and learn some awesome fencing moves.

What a terrific program! Three members of my family participated, and all of us agree that this 2.5-hour course is wildly underpriced. Yes, you read that correctly. What a value! 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. We finished hot, sweaty, and smiling, and all of us are wondering how we can rework our schedules in order to make time for more classes at RedStar.

This class is a great introduction to the sport of fencing. The instructors were fun, energetic, patient and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome new experience.

This class was fun and challenging. It gave you a great overview of the sport and you left with a good understanding of the basics. The teacher was very thorough and energetic. Would definitely recommend.

This class is awesome. Had a lot of fun learning and interacting with the class. Great opportunity to try something new!!! I would do this again.

My husband and I took this class together. I definitely agree this class was challenging and a work out. Peter and Jon Girl will kick your butt, but you will still be talking about how much fun you had when you can't walk two days later. Great class--I would recommend it to anyone. They also take great pictures that make you look bad ass :)

Really fun class! More of a workout than I expected, but this class is suitable for anyone at any fitness level. The instructors were great at answering questions and creating a friendly atmosphere.

The entire class was fantastic -- from start to finish. First, the Jon-Girl provided thorough instructions before the class and kept in touch as the class got closer. The class started promptly on time and covered a lot of information and practice during its 2.5 hours. I learned a lot about fencing during the class and was excited to put the theory to practice when we started some bouts. An overall fantastic experience!

It was really fun to learn the fencing basics. Jon-girl is awesome. Very personable and easy to follow. Be ready for a workout because the engarde position will leave your legs burning.

This class was informative, challenging and fun. I never realized how difficult and unique fencing is. Honestly, I enjoyed it so much I questioned why I had never taken up fencing as a sport! Not that I ever had a chance when I was younger. I'm thinking about taking the boot camp.

This was a great experience! It was a lot of fun learning the history of fencing and being able to try it. Such a fun activity for friends!

Great class!! Jon- Girl was a great instructor and made the class fun and interesting.

Great intro to fencing class! Lots of good pics too. :)

Class so was much fun! Was a great introduction to fencing and totally got me into the sport alot more. The class was well paced, plenty of times for questions, as well as plenty of time for hands on fencing practice. I left eh class with a great knowledge of the history fencing as well as how the game works. The teachers were funny, engaging, and nice from start to finish! Great class for anyone looking for an interesting workout on a sunday! you do get very sweaty!!

Such a fun and fast-paced time! We got a lot of awesome and thorough training in just a few hours. The class is definitely a lower-body workout. I'm feeling it today, the day after class!

Fantastic class! It is run really well. It is efficient, thought out, and fun. It gives a good overview of fencing, then an accurate understanding of the athletic nature of the sport (prepare to get sweaty!). You learn the footwork, the stances, and the basics of using the sword. Then there is a round robin in which you get to practice with most of the people in class. Because of the way it's taught, you can certainly come alone, without worrying you'll be singled out. This dabble class, more than any other was efficient, informative, fun, a great workout, and a fabulous value!

More of a workout than I expected, but totally tons of fun!

I wasn't expecting a real workout (suicides, jogging, etc) but overall the class was very informative and fun!

We had such a fun time at the fencing class. Great for friends or a couple. Photos taken throughout the class and posted online afterwards complete the experience.

Fantastic class! It was so informative and fun. The facilities were great and the class was really well paced.

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. I would highly recommend this class for anyone looking for a fun way to spend a couple hours or if you're interested in learning something new.

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!

The teacher for this class was amazing!!!! Very thorough and spent time with everyone to make sure they were doing things correctly; a very positive experience!!!!

Great class! We learned background of fencing and basic rules and different types of fencing! Jon girl and the coach were awesome instructors! Photo op at end was a fantastic touch!

What a amazing class. If you have 2.5 hours and you want a great workout this is the class for you. It was a pleasure being taught by Peter and Jon Girl. If you are thinking about signing up for the class..DO IT!!!!!

Great class!

Great class, great workout, good price, would definitely go again. The pictures at the end were the icing on the cake.

It was lots of fun. Really intense. Be prepared for quite a workout.

So much fun! An amazing workout! Most people are reluctant to jab strangers with a fencing foil, but Jon-Girl and her assistant are wonderful instructors and put everyone at ease. 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.

I had a terrific time. The class was well taught, fast paced and exciting! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to try fencing. I'm hooked!

So fun!!!

I highly recommend this class! The instructors were both pretty badass and awesome teachers. They made it really easy to understand the rules of the sport. I am neither very well coordinated or particularly in shape, so it was definitely a bit of a workout, but a really fun one and well worth it!

Absolutely amazing class! I started fencing with Redstar after this dabble class. Everyone there is amazing and so friendly. Its like I am now apart of one big family. The class was so informative and helpful but most of all it was a BLAST! The teacher, JG, was funny, patient and knew her stuff. I have already told my friends about this class and hope that everyone takes it. We even ended the class taking photos in the fencing get up. Amazing! Anyone who wants to spend a day having fun and learning something extremely interesting TAKE THIS CLASS!

This class was so much fun, and very informative. I had never tried fencing before, so I signed up through Dabble.co to give it a go. Jon-Girl and Peter are fantastic teachers. I really appreciated all the photos they took during class, some of which cracked me up. It was one of the most fun nights I've had in a while. It was also a great workout. The class piqued my interest in fencing, and now I'm interested in watching matches and learning more. I definitely want to do this again! Highly recommended!

Great time, lots of information packed into two hour class. Great physical exercise too. Doesn't matter your ability or knowledge of the sport, they cover the basics for you & give you chance to engage. I recommend for everyone. Bring a friend for even more fun (you can duel)

Amazing and well worth the money!

I was finally able to cross Fencing off of my bucket list! I learned a lot about the sport, various stances and of course being able to test our skills. I have so much more respect for this sport and it is a great way to stay in shape.

Jon-Girl and Peter are great teachers - super fun, knowledgeable, easy-going, and patient. It was an info- and action-packed two hours...I definitely got a workout and a great intro to fencing. It's a lot harder than it looks!

I loved this class; cheap, interesting, and gave me knowledge on a sport I knew nothing about. Jon-Girl was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. Thanks Dabble!

Jon Girl's attitude is awesome, positive and fun.

Jon Girl is the man

Extremely well organized, great content and great experience.

Fencing for all ages, with the opportunity to fence others in a friendly environment.

The instructor for this class was amazing! She made everyone feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable, explaining things in a way to make them easily understood.

Jon-Girl was a great intro teacher. She made me feel very welcome and answered any question in great detail. She took us through every level of fencing and touched on a wide variety topics within the sport. She was an engaging instructor.

This was a great class. I went with my wife, who has fenced before but, I never fenced before and Jon-Girl and her crew explained everything throughly and had the entire class engaged for the full 2 hours! She also takes photos of you while we are fencing and then allows you upload them for free. A great little perk! Such a great way to spend a Sunday! My wife enjoyed it so much that she is going to join the beginner class this fall!

"Interesting (History of fencing, types of weapons, rules of play, etc)
A fantastic workout
Engaging
Easy to get to via public transportation
Clean facility
Great price"

Jon-Girl was an awesome instructor, and the class was a great workout!

"The teacher was prepared, passionate, knowledgable, fun...everything I could have wanted from her during this experience. She also made sure to help us individually to develop good basic skills.
Dabble offers really unique one-time classes for a great price. What an awesome, affordable, non-intimidating way to try out to a new skill."
