So where is good place to take self-defense for female empowerment?

Seems like an obvious question to ask...

    Most martial arts can be empowering if you practice with a good group of people. You seem to be looking for women-centric organizations. I found a few in Seattle:

    Karate: http://www.feministkarateunion.org/

    Kung Fu: http://sevenstarwomenskungfu.org/dnn/

    There are also organizations that teach self-defense specifically for women. I'm not sure how many of those are "empowering" in the sense I'm thinking of and how many are more practical demonstrations of how to fight back by any means necessary.

    Someone already answered this, but there are two women-only non-profit women's martial arts programs in Seattle-

    Seven Star Women's Kung Fu and Feminist Karate Union. Both are located in Seattle's Central District.

    If you are interested in our self defense program you can find information on a 4-week series and private self defense classes here:

    Strategic Living offers self defense classes as well:

    I agree with the other 2 responders. For longer-term training, both the Feminist Karate Union and Seven Star Women's Kung Fu are great choices.

    Both Strategic Living and Seven Star have shorter-term, self-contained self-defense classes. (Strategic Living (my business) is owned by one of the Feminist Karate Union's teachers.) Visit http://www.StrategicLiving.org/classes.htm for current class offerings, from one-afternoon seminars to 5-week multi-session courses.
