Karate and mixed martial arts for kids
Our Kids Martial Arts Program Offers Age-Specific Training and a Wide Range of Skills
At Self Defense Global, we do Kids Martial Arts just a little bit differently. Our program offers age-specific instruction for students as young as 3 and focuses primarily on establishing functional skills in your child that can apply in all aspects of life.
Self-Defense Global - Empowering Lives Through the Martial Arts
Led by Eric Siley, a Krav Maga Black Belt, these Kids Martial Arts classes combine aspects of Krav Maga, submission grappling, Kickboxing, and youth weapons training. And, of course, every class makes character development a priority.
Give your child the best chance to grow with our Kids Martial Arts Classes in Kansas City. You'll see the difference on day one.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It:
I have been a police officer for fifteen-plus years and wish this was available fifteen years ago!
“This training has truly changed my life! I have been a police officer for 15 plus years and wish this was available 15 years ago! This program will teach how to defend yourself but it will also teach you confidence and peace.
Knowing that you could protect yourself and family if needed is a great feeling..
MICHAEL SCHNEIDER // Police Officer
When it comes to the realistic and effective nature of the movements, along with the underlying philosophy, it's unmatched.
“Over the years, I've become increasingly convinced that we all bear a responsibility to look out for the well-being of others. With that responsibility comes the necessity of improving and protecting ones ability to respond when life is threatened.
That's where the techniques of Self-Defense Global Krav Maga win the day. I began this program and immediately understood the strengths of this system. When it comes to the realistic and effective nature of the movements, along with the underlying philosophy, it's unmatched.
Additionally, this Krav Maga system is designed to be easily taught, which has made it possible for me to train individuals, working for an international non-profit NGO, to be safe and prepared when faced with physical threats. I highly recommend this program.

The Changing Face of Childhood
"Things were different when I was a kid." Every parent has said that, and I'm no different. There are many ways in which the current generation has more opportunity; a greater chance to succeed. The world is also a smaller, always-connected place with more pitfalls than ever for kids.
As a parent, we all agree we want our kids educated, to treat others well, and to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and trouble.
We hear and tell stories about what kids are doing these days, but let's check the facts and take a look at academics, treatment of others, and substance use.
ACADEMICS
1 in 4 high school students fail to graduate on time. Cheating and plagiarism are common
BULLYING
1 in 4 kids are bullied at school. While many types of violence are down, the teen suicide rate has spiked
DRUGS & ALCOHOL
Almost half of high school students have tried drugs. Over half of them have tried alcohol at least once
Wow.
Numbers like this hit way too close to home, Our kids need to be stronger - physically, mentally, and to have the character to embrace the good and refuse the bad. There's a way to do this that has worked for thousands of years, and they aren't going to learn it at school.
Martial Arts: Building a Strong Foundation for Life
Martial arts were originally designed and trained to learn how to fight. A funny thing happened, though: when young people were sent to train with masters, they returned more confident, more focused, disciplined - and more ethical.
Here's what was learned: Perfection of movement leads to perfection of character.
It's probable that your child will have to use some kind of physical self-defense against a bully. It's a certainty that the character traits learned during training will give your son or daughter an advantage - an edge that will follow him or her throughout life.
Here are just a few of the life skills Self-Defense Global teaches in our martial arts classes:
GOAL SETTER & GETTER
Martial Arts teaches SETTING and GETTING goals through earning awards and belts - Earned recognition
UNSHAKEABLE CONFIDENCE
REAL confidence is respect earned from one's self based upon ABILITIES and ACCOMPLISHMENTS - not popularity or how many "likes"
POSITIVE ATTITUDE & ENERGY
Martial Arts teaches positive attitude by pushing mental and physical limits, and developing a NO QUITTING outlook on everything we do.

Eric Siley // Founder & Chief Instructor
I'm a life-long martial artist. I started my training in 1986, after watching every martial arts movie I could get my hands on, and dealing with bullies.
Unfortunately, I've had to use my training in life and death situations. This led me to find the most effective training available - Krav Maga. Twenty years later, I'm one of the most experienced Krav Maga instructors in the U.S. - and regularly teach the public at my school.
I love teaching self-defense, and love seeing the positive impact training has on kids - starting at age three. I'm proud of the discipline, focus, respect, and confidence my students show - at our academy, home, and at school.

What Others Are Saying:
This is the most refined, up-to-date self-defense system available, and everyone from a complete beginner to an instructor can get something out of this.
I have competed in MMA, kickboxing, and submission grappling. You can’t beat Krav Maga for learning self-defense quickly, but all programs are not the same.
This is the most refined, up-to-date self-defense system available, and everyone from a complete beginner to an instructor can get something out of this. I highly recommend Self-Defense Global KC.
