I have been giving some lessons down in Savannah this summer. I went down there the other day and found that only 5 people showed up, They wanted to fence but no one knew how to ref. So they asked me to do it. I decided that if I was going to do that I was going to make it a learning experience for everyone. So I reffed, and took time to explain the calls, critique the fencers, correct their actions, caching things you know. I also took time to teach them how to ref. I felt it was a very productive, if a bit non profitable, day of lessons. When we left, one of the guys there commented to me that he know felt he knew not only how to lunge but when.
I did take the time to actually give one real lesson during the evening too.
