| Your fencing lessons (1on1)
How much(time), how often, and how costly?
Will be half an hour a week next year for 20NZ$ per half hour.

| One coach - about £25 an hour (I pasy a monthly retainer...), I have lessons that last between 30 minutes and an hour
Another coach - £20 an hour, my lessons with him last for 30 minutes
Other coach - free lessons, lessons last as long as possible (often a couple of hours), but these are very irregular (he lives about 120 miles away from me  ). Although I don't pay for the lessons, I value them VERY highly and appreciate them VERY much.

| My private lessons are $25 each week and the lessons last a little over a half hour, more or less.

| 20 bux for 20 minutes with one of the best coaches in the country. I try to get them once a week, tho would easily be there 3x a week if I could afford it.

| This question has been discussed multiple times before.
But....
I pay 15 Euro per month, per club. I belong to two clubs.
I don't pay anything extra for lessons.
I take a 10-20 minute lesson with one master, and a 30-40 minute lesson with the other master every week.
Life is good in my part of Germany.

| I may occasionally get a lesson, but the "coach" figure in my life is really busy teaching the constant stream of new people in the club, so I dont get lessons anymore than 4 times a year, and at that, they seldom last longer than 10 minutes.

| $35 US per month for group lessons, organized drills, and fencing "playtime." This covers twice per week, 2 hours at a time. The instructor is quite good. We don't really have one-on-one lessons, except for "Hey, how did you do that?" Compared to others this seems like a good deal.

| $10 floor fee + $20/20 min for one coach, occasionally, but as often as I can afford it. Probly the better coaches I can get without going to NYC.
Uni coach is free ($100/term club fee), lessons about once every week or two. He's a good epee coach, but not to the degree of the first one (it's close, tho).

| - ~30 minutes. Depends on how knackered I feel...
- Once a week. Optional though. I can have a lesson each day I'm there for practice but I'm ok with once a week unless I'm preparing for a comp.
- No extra cost - included in club membership.
