My experience was that Steaphen was patient, warm, and supportive during my instruction. I would highly recommend his tutelage to learner of any age interested in learning European martial arts!

Sidesword and buckler seminar in NZ. Really enjoyed the lesson! Steaphen has a fantastic report with students, is very knowledgeable, and even sparred with me at the endbofbthe day! I respect this a great deal, too few maestros are willing to spar with the students. I would not hesitate to recommend Steaphen Fick as an instructor, and hope he'll make his way to Aotearoa again!

Steaphen does a great job teaching. He takes the time to teach the topic at hand in a clear and concise manner. And goes over the mateial until you understand it.

Currently a student of Steaphen's and the experience has been and continues to be incredible. It is a rare gift when someone shares their passion and expertise as effectively and genuinely as he does. Take a lesson from him. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
