This is a special class, usually held the week before each Beginners Cycle starts, to which all women are welcome. (We ask for a $10 donation.) It's a great chance to meet some of the Seven Star students and teachers, and get a taste of our curriculum and teaching style. Watch our home page for the date of the next class, which is usually posted a few weeks before the start of the Beginners Cycle.
You are also welcome to come by and watch a class. Call or e-mail to find out a good time to come watch.
What to wear
Wear long pants that cover your knees, and a T-shirt or tank top (no midriffs or spaghetti-strap tops). Your clothes should be loose-fitting so that you can move freely. You'll need to remove all jewelry before training. Street shoes may not be worn on the training floor, but if you're starting in the winter time you may want to bring a pair of socks to wear until we start moving around and getting warmed up.
No uniforms are required. We have school T-shirts for sale in a variety of styles for those who would like them. People who continue training after the Beginners Cycle often get black kung fu pants and a school T-shirt (this is our "uniform" for demos and other formal occasions), and sometimes a Chinese sam top, but sweats and other casual wear are still fine for regular classes.
Children and teens
The minimum age for students at Seven Star is 13. Students under 18 need to have a parent or guardian sign their release of claims form (see below).
If you are looking for martial arts classes for young children, we recommend that you check out our sister school, Seattle Kajukenbo, which has a great kids' program.
Free childcare is available while you are in class. Please contact us ahead of time to arrange childcare.

The cost for the eight-week Beginners Cycle is $150.00. You may enclose a check for the full amount (made out to Seven Star Women's Kung Fu) with your registration, or send us a $25 deposit and pay the rest when you come to class.
