Owner Stephanie Spears has earned awards and won tournaments from 2008 and onward in Tang Soo Do.

The school offers discounted trial options, including a free week of martial arts classes and a 7 Days for $7 special with a free t-shirt for new students, and provides train-anytime access to testing curriculum through the Seven Spears YouTube channel. The program includes a Leadership Team for students with strong leadership potential and an Instructor Program to develop students into instructors and leaders, and it combines traditional martial arts styles with modern “new-school” elements and games. Seven Spears describes itself as a non-corporate, community-focused environment that hosts social events, holiday parties, Ninja Nights, Bring-a-Friend weeks, and other gatherings, and Leadership Team students serve as ambassadors at local volunteering and demo events, with a stated goal of serving families in Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Peñasquitos, Escondido, 4S Ranch, Black Mountain Ranch, and Carmel Mountain Ranch.
