| Hi sabresamurai. Above all, have fun with it! Let us know how it goes, and don't forget to list any great teaching things they do...
It sounds like you're talking about classes. A fencing lesson is 1-on-1 with a coach, and is usually a bunch of structured drills. A fencing class is a bunch of people learning about fencing at the same time.
For classes, do all the normal class stuff, like listen, obey, &etc. Like Artisan says. Fencing is also very social, and it's easy to make fencing-friends if you give it a shot.
For a lesson, I'd say, reserve judgement for the first few. There can be some weird concepts in fencing, or odd exercises, but it pays off in the long term. It's okay to ask about stuff, but you want to do the talking after the lesson, so that you maximize your training time in the lesson. Stop if you feel pain. Be respectful but not passive.
Have fun!! |
