Are you ready to cut and stab your fellow event seeker? Well, join me in our first fencing gathering taught by Rolando Balboa, the founder of Brooklyn Fencing and coach of numerous national and international fencers.

Brooklyn Fencing has provided us a GREAT deal! Similar intro lessons cost $45. In 1 1/2 hours we will get a brief intro, warm up, learn the basic movements, play some fencing related games and finish with fencing practice.
