Sifu Franklin Fick

Sifu Fick has spend his entire life studying, training, and teaching traditional Chinese Kung Fu. His journey has taken him around the world, with over a decade spent living in Asia. In addition to martial arts, as a teenager his teachers also introduced him to Qigong and Energy Healing. And, he went on to earn a degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

He has studied with some very distinguished teachers. Some have been direct linage holders, Taoist priests, and inheritors of rare and closed door material. Because of his hard work and sincerity, his teachers accepted him and taught him thoroughly. The knowledge that he has gained over the years is both rare and precious.

Over the years he has seen what happens when his own teachers have retired or passed on. Usually the transmission of knowledge to future generations becomes broken. In his own experience teaching since 1993, most students, even when interested in studying an art, are limited by geography and time (fitting lessons into their busy schedule).

He saw the internet as a tool to help overcome these obstacles and started teaching online classes in 2010. The goal was to use modern technology to help preserve and pass on these precious arts so that future generations may continue to study and benefit from them. Over the years the school has evolved and changed to better meet these goals. Today we can say that we are very proud of what we have accomplished and invite anyone who is interested to join and take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn.
