Meet Master Sarah

Master Sarah

Master Sarah began her Kung Fu training in 1998. Her initial curious interest grew into a passion. In 2006 Sarah opened the Shaolin Center of Seattle on the advice of her instructors to further her journey to becoming a master. In 2024 she became a sixth degree black belt Master.

Master Sarah believes deeply in the benefits of Kung Fu and Tai Chi, and is honored to provide this training to Seattle and Shoreline. She knows that while Kung Fu provides exceptional self defense training (defense against not just bad guys but old age) it can also be applied to all aspects of life. Whether focusing on posture to alleviate back pain, or preventing future issues, to just moving with head held high projecting confidence. It provides situational awareness from the trivial to the potentially dangerous.

My kids and I have really loved the Dragons kung fu classes! The excellent teachers (and other classmates!) are very welcoming and strive to support kids of all abilities. Martial arts training is interspersed with fun games that build athletic agility. Parents are welcome to participate, which made my shy kid feel better about trying something new. And there are even adorable class puppies!!

Update: This place is safe. IYKYK ______ I'm so grateful to this studio, the masters, sifus, and even other students. What a beautiful community that teaches about how your body works, teaches discipline and confidence, through kung fu. I understand myself better for having taken this class, and have noticed dramatic improvements throughout my life (ex. I'm able to dance now, because I know my body, am able to learn to skills because I can build foundational knowledge). The best part? I'm just one of thousands– investment in this studio multiplies exponentially into the community. ❤️

This school has a welcoming environment for all ages and abilities. The teacher has vast knowledge of the art and you will never be bored! Try tai chi to improve your balance, core strength and be able to touch your toes again. Try Kung fu to learn self defense😊

My kid loves this place! Wonderful teachers and a great community. My child is almost a black belt now. I was a student myself for a while, but life got busy for me. Anyways, highly recommend you give this place a try. Unlike other martial arts places, this school really emphasizes self defense and not mandatory monthly tests just to generate revenue. Students test when they feel ready–on their own schedule. There's also a practice hour that you can attend to ask questions or just to refine what you're learning. And quite affordable. Nothing but good things to say about this school and Master Sarah. She knows her stuff!

I love coming here, it's such a wonderful atmosphere and everyone is very friendly including Master Sarah. I tend to have some reservations doing any class for physical activity anywhere but I've had no issue here whatsoever and have felt very welcomed. There's different classes for different levels and age groups! I'm very thankful I found this place as it has made a tremendous change in my mental and physical happiness.
