Karate Classes for All Ages and Levels in Kansas
We welcome students as young as 4 years old and offer developmentally appropriate classes through the teen and adult years. Our curriculum combines physical activity with valuable life lessons, helping students improve their focus, discipline, and confidence inside and outside the mat.
Each program is led by passionate instructors who prioritize safety, learning, and fun. We teach everything from Karate and Taekwondo to SafeShield self-defense. No two students are alike and our training reflects that. Every child receives the attention and guidance they need to develop at their own pace, surrounded by peers who cheer each other on.
ActivStars Athletics Family-Focused Programs in Kansas
SafeShield Program
In today’s world, safety education is more important than ever. That’s why we developed our own exclusive SafeShield program — a modern take on safety awareness built specifically for kids. Students in Kansas learn how to recognize unsafe situations, protect themselves, and find help when needed. Based on proven prevention techniques and real-world scenarios,
SafeShield is not just self-defense, it’s a chance for your child to learn how to handle themselves in the outside world.

Anti-Bullying Awareness
Our Kansas instructors also guide students through anti-bullying training that teaches them how to manage peer pressure, de-escalate conflict, and support others with empathy and strength. We help kids develop the “Black Belt Mindset” — one rooted in emotional resilience and respect for themselves and those around them.
Beyond the Dojo
At ActivStars Athletics, we don’t stop at martial arts basics. We explore topics that make them more aware and capable in the world around them. This includes lessons on drug prevention, social inclusion, good citizenship, academic excellence, and more. These interactive sessions help students apply their training in real-life situations across Kansas, such as in school, at home, and in their communities.
Leadership Through Martial Arts
Our student leadership program invites advanced Kansas students to become Senpais — role models who support instructors, mentor classmates, and lead by example. As Senpais progress, they can enter our instructor apprenticeship program, gaining the skills and certification to one day teach their own classes. It’s a unique opportunity for teens to grow in responsibility and gain confidence.
Kansas Families Train Together
Martial arts isn't just for kids. It's a lifelong skill that families can enjoy together. Parents in Kansas often join our classes to train alongside their children, strengthening bonds while sharing a common goal. As a parent, you're a vital part of the ActivStars Athletics community, whether you're on the mat learning forms or cheering from the sidelines.
