Fick is OK. He successfully treads that line between teacher and entertainer. He built his community up and I've only heard positive things about him. The HEMA types can be very negative & cult-y (exactly like fencing coaches before the mid/late 90's).
My problem with the HEMA community overall is that there is a big streak of White, European Males Made Everything And Should Rule All Just Like In Medieval Days. Since I'm a big white guy, no problem for me.

In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
