Richard Fike

Richard Fike directs Stunt Predators USA & SFX, an Ohio company, and has been part of the stunt field since 1986, when his first fight choreography was done for Masters of the Gridiron, a fantasy video for the NFL's Cleveland Browns. After serving in the U.S. Army Special Operations community and spending over ten years as a civilian with the Department of Defense, he turned to teaching martial arts. He has earned senior black belts in karate, judo and jujitsu, and he instructs in his own system, Sanchi-Ryu Karate. Known as a high energy seminar teacher, he gives unconventional fighting and survival seminars built on three parts: close quarters hand to hand combat, knife fighting in tactical settings, and cord fighting, all of which he developed and tested with elite military forces at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He also works on film projects, providing realism and authenticity.
