Seven Star Policies
Gender Policy
Seven Star empowers gender-marginalized individuals through martial arts and self-defense training. We serve the greater Seattle community by providing self-defense training to people of all genders. We welcome trans, nonbinary, gender-expansive and cisgender women (age 13+) to train with us at our school. View our full gender policy as of October 2024. Gender Policy
Masking Policy
Community Health and Safety Measures:
All classes and school events at Seven Star are mask optional. As a condition of transitioning to a mask optional space, we ask that everyone be mindful of our community safety and use the following guidelines when attending classes:
Do not attend classes or events if you have cold/flu/Covid symptoms. When in doubt, stay home.
If you’ve had a known respiratory disease exposure, mask up in class or stay home.
Mask for a minimum of 48 hours after air travel.
Mask for a minimum of 48 hours If you’ve attended large indoor gatherings such as concerts, conferences, etc and were unmasked.
If your partner asks you to mask up during partner exercises, mask up! This is a part of the consent based partner work we do for health and safety.

Ventilation Practices:
Windows are open/fans on for all classes. During times of extreme heat, cold, or poor air quality, windows can be closed. If the windows are closed, masks are required.
Air purifiers are on in our buildings 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Ensure the air purifiers are on and moved away from all walls when you enter or exit the building(s).
