Seattle Wushu Center was founded in 2007 by Sifu Restita DeJesus, a certified Wushu/Kung Fu and Tai Chi Instructor under Master Yijiao Hong's "Chinese Wushu Taiji Academy" of Seattle, Washington.
Ms. DeJesus was an assistant instructor at the Chinese Wushu Taiji Academy, and managed her own martial arts studio, "Yin Yang Arts Center" in the West Seattle area with her business partner Sherril Johnson. When Master Hong made the decision to stop teaching Wushu in order to concentrate fully on her new family, she gave the responsibilities of CWTA's Wushu classes to Ms. DeJesus. Ms. DeJesus welcomed CWTA's members to her studio, to carry on the practice of Wushu and Tai Chi in the Seattle area. Seattle Wushu Center is now located in the historic Georgetown district.
Restita's teacher, Master Yijiao Hong, is the executive advisor to Seattle Wushu Center. Seattle Wushu Center associates closely with a "sister school" in the North Seattle area, headed by her good friend, Sifu Tianyuan Li.Together, both schools endorse the proliferation of Wushu in the Pacific Northwest.
In October of 2008, our online store was made to be a convenient way for students of Seattle Wushu Center to purchase uniform items, gear, and weapons.With our busy lives, its easy to forget to place an order directly with our Chief Instructor. Now, students can get online and order items at their convenience.
As of 10/15/08, our store is still under construction....however we do have SWC logo items, uniform pants, and standard Wushu / Kung Fu weapons available for purchase. More items to be added soon!
