About Us
Seven Spears Martial Arts is dedicated to helping students of all ages grow stronger, more confident, and more disciplined through high-quality martial arts training. Our experienced instructors focus on personal development as much as physical skill, creating a supportive environment where students are challenged, encouraged, and inspired to succeed both on and off the mat.
Our School
Seven Spears is a martial arts school serving the Southwest California area, providing martial arts in Poway, Rancho Bernardo, and Encinitas. All of our locations follow the lead of our owner, Stephanie Spears, a decorated athlete in martial arts. We share her passion for martial arts and building up students. You can come in and discover the many benefits of martial arts – no matter your reason for training. You can get started for fitness, self-defense, competition, or any other reason and thrive.
Our staff brings in a high energy to help students reach their daily and long term goals. You can find the right location for Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Karate, and Muay Thai classes (depending on the programs offered) and be supported by a staff that wants all our students to take their newfound skills home to improve their daily lives. Martial arts emphasizes continuous improvements and constantly adapting. Who wants monotonous training? We don’t! We add a different perspective to training with fun games and new school flair. This makes all our Seven Spears schools a place for you and your children to build up skills and become your best selves!
History
Founded by Stephaine Spears, Seven Spears has cultivated a vibrant and supportive martial arts community in Southwest California. Our journey began in 2018 when Sensei Stephaine took the reins of Poway Muay Thai, and we have been growing ever since! In 2022, we proudly opened our Poway Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) school, followed by the addition of our Rancho Bernardo and Encinitas locations in 2025.
Before establishing her schools, Sensei Stephaine gained valuable experience in the martial arts world. A 4th Degree Tang Soo Do Black Belt, she has earned awards and won tournaments from 2008 and onward. Her extensive achievements reflect her dedication to martial arts, coupled with her experience in various disciplines.
Through her journey in martial arts, Sensei Stephaine has acquired the knowledge and skills to guide every student at Seven Spears towards their personal goals. Join us to experience the transformative power of martial arts!
