Based in Bangkok, Thailand, Mantis Martial Arts was founded in 2014 by martial arts and self-defense instructors with many years of experience in the field. We feature various martial art styles, with the core element and grading system from the UK-based Kros Bros Martial Arts Community. We practice “the Teachings” (elements of Karate, Jeet Kun Do, Wresting, Muay Thai and Filipino Martial Arts) in an environment that combines training, action, learning and fun. We currently offer weekly kids' classes at Little Pea and KiddyKare, after-school programs at several international schools and school holiday camps.

From ages 3 to 6 years, a child's development, including motor and cognitive skills, is of paramount importance. Our long experience in this age group fully reflects this in our balanced program for kids, starting at 3 years in age. While fun always remains the motivating factor, self-defense is the bare minimum your child will walk away with in our classes. Through setting goals and advancing through the martial arts ranking system, kids will also develop patience, respect and courtesy. 

Our belt grading system is internationally recognized, and each student is enrolled in the Kros Bros Martial Arts Community, which is the largest provider of kids' martial arts programs in North England and Wales. Parents have individual access to the system and therefore are able to work together with our instructors to see their children's progress. Our high standards are the same as in the UK, and ensure that instructors are well trained, background checked and first aid trained.
