SEVEN STAR WOMEN'S KUNG FU
Self Defense
Seven Star Women’s Kung Fu is a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) martial arts and self defense school. In an effort to increase the populations we serve and bring self defense training to a broader spectrum of the general public, we offer community self defense classes individually tailored to meet the needs of each group.
Although individualized, the general class structure focuses on building self-confidence, awareness and assertiveness, dispelling myths and providing basic verbal and physical tools to enhance personal safety in numerous situations. We address emotional aspects and population specific issues in order to further facilitate comfort level and provide relevance for each participant.
Class length can be tailored to your needs, from a one or two hour session to a series of classes, held at your facility or our school. Cost depends on length of class. A 2 hour class is normally $250. Click here for a flyer with more info on self defense classes.

Fight the Fear Campaign
Seven Star Women’s Kung Fu is actively involved with the Fight The Fear Campaign. Sifu Michelle McVadon teaches the majority of the classes and students from Seven Star and Seattle Kajukenbo are teaching assistants for the classes.Fight the Fear is a community oriented violence prevention initiative. Our mission is to provide free self defense training and violence prevention education to women and youth of underserved and at-risk populations. Fight the Fear is based on the belief that self defense training should be a service that is easily accessible to all women, because the skills and confidence that it builds are a proven deterrent to violence. Fight the Fear classes provide training in basic self defense skills, including awareness, de-escalation, boundary setting, and fighting techniques, and access to resources for survivors of violence or abuse. Our goal in 2010 is to provide 35 classes at Seattle-area women’s shelters, senior centers, community centers, homeless centers, and other gathering places. Born of the aftermath of one woman’s tragic death and another’s courageous survival, this initiative is an effort to turn a senseless, violent act into a positive agent of growth and change. Fighting fear, preventing violence, helping women live with strength and confidence.
