Gregory was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of fighting, we had a wonderful time learning history while having fun! He was wonderful with including everyone and making sure that we all had a great time. He worked around our scheduling conflict and made sure that timing worked for us. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot!
