After returning to Oklahoma City from the Savannah School of Art and Design, Erick Wolfe was invited to attend a medieval wedding. It was from that moment on that his addiction of stage combat and performance was born. After a season with a local performance troupe, Erick went in search of a safe stage combat instructor, and found Maitre D’Armes Jerry Benson. After studying for 2 years and becoming an assistant instructor of Staged Combat at Redlands Academy, Erick traveled around studying from any instructor who would help in his pursuit to learn all he could, and learn as many methods of teaching, performing, and movement as possible. After settling down in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Erick opened the School of Stage Combat in 2000. For 10 years the school trained actors and created the performance group The Twisted Blades.
