Gina Mares Kurtz

Gina has been training at Seven Star Women’s Kung Fu since 2004 and holds the rank of 2nd Degree Black Belt. Gina’s goal in teaching is to share and impart the joy that training brings to her life. She finds that the most rewarding part of teaching is witnessing the evolution of a student, to see them gain strength and confidence as they grows as a martial artist. Gina enjoys teaching high energy classes with a focus on basics, fighting skills, and sparring. Gina is one of Seven Star’s self defense instructors, teaching self defense in the community in schools and for nonprofit and corporate groups.
