We had such fun with Coach Rak, who introduced us to the basics of fencing and encouraged us to really get into it. The class was small and ran long, which we really enjoyed. Highly recommend for a small group activity or if you want to try out fencing.

The facility seemed dirty. Also, there was a lot of miscommunication between the instructors. It resulted in literally only 5 minutes of fencing at the very end. There was way too much time spent warming up.
