Airbnb Experience Β· β Verified Guest"My husband and son are Star Wars fanatics. Me... never seen the movies and have no interest in learning. However, this experience was AMAZING! You do not have to know anything about lightsabers or how to use them. Everyone from the instructor to the other trainees were fun, supportive, and genuinely good people. My family is already begging to go back β you won't be disappointed!"

Airbnb Experience Β· β Verified Guest"This was a fabulously fun time with our grandchildren! Edward was entertaining and educational at the same time. He had wonderful stories and helpful lines that guided us in learning dueling techniques. His overall style was respectful yet funny as he took us through our mistakes and gradual progress. All four of us β ages 8 to 75 β agreed we would highly recommend this memorable experience!"

Airbnb Experience Β· β Verified Guest"After reading the reviews, I was conflicted on my expectations. However, the experience as a whole was very memorable. It is a skill-based activity β the instructor kept the moves basic and attainable, allowing every participant to achieve real sabership. His lighthearted nature was balanced by the obvious skill he demonstrated. He was very relatable and I left genuinely impressed."
