He had almost an identical one, so he assembled it and strung it for me, put the guide on - everything I couldn't get from Amazon in short, and I was all set. Then he spent at least an hour with me, showing me the basics of shooting and critiquing my form as I kept at it. He was really knowledgeable and patient. And he wasn't getting paid to teach. You also wouldn't get this from Amazon or YouTube. So yes, it's in an office park, it's a little Bohemian - as is Bowe - but it was great. Highly recommended. I'll be back.

Comparing this club from the other club in FFX he attended the day before, this club is more welcoming and all coaches are approachable including Head Coach Witold. Even the adult members introduced themselves to my teenage son. Our son felt instantly that this is the fencing club for him. After Saber class, Coach Peter determined that our son should skip the introductory class and proceed to the beginners class. So the next day we asked the assistance of Ms. Ayesha and she gracefully changed his membership from introductory to beginners. She was also very encouraging to us. Our family looks forward to the next days weeks months and years with this fencing club.

11/4/19 I always went by this place in the past few years,…read morebut never knew of its existence. Maybe its because I did not see the fencing sign sitting outside the main doors. Nevertheless, today I did notice the sign and decided to check it out. It has been a long time since I have done fencing, but i took to it at a fast rate. Out of the three types of fencing I have done, Saber is the only one I haven't experienced. The art of slashing doesn't come into Epee and Foil, unless it's a real duel...and if that is the case, you can rest assure your hands and feet will be used too...but I digress. I met the executive of the establishment. Her name is Connie Schreiber and she did do fencing, but I think she is a better swordsman than she claims to be. She gave me a tour of her establishment and when she was done, told me about some of the staff members and the people in some of the photos. Two of her staff have been in the Olympics and won medals. Other students have done very well in tournaments. Apparently Connie Schreiber's Academy has been number one for nearly a decade. This says a lot about how the students are trained. I remember when I learned about foot work and other fundamentals of fencing at Montgomery College in Rockville Maryland, part of me wanted to just get on with the bouts. I quickly realized that the fundamentals and history of fencing are just as important as the bouts...unless you wish to call them duels. I a strongly thinking about joining as a way of exercising. Maybe I might get my wife into this too. If I remember correctly, there is a $49 membership fee and it costs $125 per month. I forgot to ask what it may cost for your own fencing outfit, because some people may not want to use a used fencers uniform. I saw students arriving and some were in uniform, so you can buy your own uniform. You will need it if your going to compete in actual tournaments. If not, there are uniforms you can wear. I will return and try this out for a month or two. We will see in the next few weeks or next month.

It was a…read morefantastic course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone that plans to carry a concealed firearm. Perhaps you are new to carrying a concealed firearm. We were all there at one point. But if you are ever presented with a potentially harmful situation, do you know how to train your mind and body to assess and react? You may think you will have time to rack a slide and/or release a safety mechanism, but most life threatening situations happen very quickly. The foundation for this course is safe and repetitive gun handling skills followed by hands on range time. Don't get me wrong, you'll still need to keep up with training and practicing but this course definitely teaches you the responsibility and implications of carrying a firearm as well as the confidence to do so safely. I should also mention that the outdoor range facility is absolutely amazing. Finally, I cannot say enough about the instructors. Mike and Dave's resumes and experience speak for themselves. They are great teachers as well as great people - all while keeping it fun. I cannot thank you enough and I look forward to seeing what you put together for the follow-up course!
