Self-Defense Classes

 

Seven Star has provided self defense training in the Seattle community for over 40 years. We serve all populations including women, teens, girls, LBGTQ+, deaf, men, seniors, and houseless populations. We offer specialized workshops for community, private, and corporate groups.

We teach practical self-defense that relies on verbal and physical strategies including situational awareness, de-escalation, boundary setting, and responses to physical grabs and attacks.  Students learn self defense skills in a supportive environment. 

Our classes and workshops include the following self-defense tools:

  • Gaining a confident demeanor

  • Vulnerable targets on an attacker

  • Discovering your physical power

  • Using your intuition

  • De-escalation skills

  • Grab releases

  • Information on weapons

  • Resources for survivors of violence and abuse
