We Heard You and Thank You!
We Heard You and Thank You!
Thanks for your support on the Hong Kong Visit, Aspromonte's the first step in Asia!
It has been a long 4-month non-stop coordination and effort on organizing the camp! And this is the first event for our small team to work on and we have definitely learn a lot from the event.
This 5-day Camp taught us a lot about the local fencing atmosphere, the fencing standard, the passions from the local fencers, local challenges on organizing world-class sports training and, more importantly, the fencers' satisfaction and needs from the training.
We received a lot of compliments and support words from you all! A big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!
We also receive some comments and suggestions that we treasure for our next events.
We would like to extend our sincere apology to any inconvenience caused during the camp!
Without you and your fencers and your sharing, we cannot reach this far!
We are a world-class team, along with the world-class quality on fencing and world-class coach. We are not satisfied on what we just accomplished!
We will be a lot better, as a whole, for our next event!
Coach Aspromonte has already come up with ideas on how to improve our fencers, starting from a better club. Please see his findings here.
Stay tuned! You have made a good choice!
Sincerely
Edward Pak

Typhoon Hato Strikes Macau
God bless Macau!
Our biggest fencing event, co-hosted with the Macao Fencing Association and Sports Bureau and University of Macau, was unfortunately postponed due to the Typhoon Hato
strikes Macau badly last week.
The city was terribly destructed and the Doom, our event venue, requires significant repair on leakage and roof damage. The whole city including the Chinese Army have been working so hard to revitalize the city these days.
We would really like to help and Valerio Aspromonte would like to go personally to see if anything we could help. Yet we could not obtain the jet foil tickets and secure a hotel room. We have no choice but postpone the event.
In November, after Aspromonte's competition in Tokyo on 11 November, we will stay in Tokyo and fence with 5 largest clubs as a mini-camp offered to our Tokyo fencers.
After that, from 17 November, Aspromonte will come back to Hong Kong for his second camp in Hong Kong this year. We intend to invite over Olympic champions on Epee and Sabre from Italy and join our bigger event!
We are still in coordination with our Macau counterparts and see if we could organize an even bigger event in Macau, potentially with corporate sponsors and reserved venue etc.
Aim high! And we will make it!
Stay strong, Macau! We will be ready for your recovery!

List of Country
LIST OF COUNTRIES
STEPIOTM is to provide the best training opportunities that allows young athletes to reach their true potentials across the globe.
For the sports we focus on, it is essential to know which country is traditionally good at which particular sport.
Of course, there is always good and encouraging to try different sports in the country you reside in the inspiring period. However, to achieve a different level, with purpose like enrolling in a preferred college with scholarship, or regional championship etc., no one country fits all.
It is understood that different countries are of different focuses, even for strong-in-sport countries, e.g. USA, Russia, China etc. And the resources and approaches are very different on building athletic skills -- technical, mental, strategic and physical; and psychological readiness -- to build character, produce well rounded and balanced lifestyle.
And you might find different approaches and philosophical beliefs from different countries on sports training. It is very important to find the best approach to get trained from -- or it might simply waste of time if picking a local one and go with it.
There must be a reason why a particular country is strong on a particular sport or number of sports. By attending trainings held in those countries, athletes are able to, firstly, realize the availability of the approaches and then choose the best to fit them.
Feel free to explore our different programs in various countries listed below to see which one is right for you :
USA : San Francisco, Houston
ITALY : Frascati, Jezi
RUSSIA : Moscow
CHINA : Shanghai, Beijing, Harbin, Guangzhou
HONG KONG : Hong Kong, Macao
TAIWAN : Taipei, Taichung
JAPAN : Tokyo, Iwata
SOUTH KOREA : Seoul
NEW ZEALAND : Wellington
SINGAPORE : Singapore
More countries will be incorporated in the list as far as we could find the best program and coaches in those countries. And please feel free to contact us if you suggest some programs in countries for us to explore further.
