Services
Seven Star has provided self defense training in the Seattle community for 40 years. We serve all populations including women, teens, girls, LBGTQ, deaf, men, seniors, and the homeless. We offer specialized workshops for community, private, and corporate groups. We offer self defense classes in English and Spanish.
At Seven Star, we practice the Gaylord Method of Chu'an Fa Kung Fu in the Kajukenbo system. Kajukenbo uses straight line kicks and punches from karate, the circular defense and footwork of kung fu, and the joint locks and throws of judo and jujitsu. Students learn rolling, falling, nerve attacks, and weapons.
The Beginner's Cycle is open to all individuals who identify as women and non-binary/genderfluid folks (age 13+). In this introductory series, you'll learn the basics of our kung fu style, Kajukenbo, and valuable self defense skills and strategies. Don't worry if you think you are not in shape! You will see yourself progress through the weeks as you gain strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.

Report
I took a self-defense class here in Volunteer park. I was nervous at first, but the instructors put me at ease. I felt so empowered, strong and ready to protect myself by the end of the class. I am looking forward to the part 2 class, as I really enjoyed the first class. I think everyone should take a class like this, and I would highly recommend at Seven Star Women's Kung Fu!
