It's not just our years of experience and success that speak for us
Watched both our kids flourish
We have watched both of our kids flourish throughout there time at Kando.
They have not only gained a bunch of skills, they have also gained self control, self confidence and most importantly had a bucket load of fun in doing so!
The instructors are amazing and it's clear from the way Kando is run that they are continuing to look for better ways.
Cannot fault them and would highly recommend to anyone

We love being part of this community
Our son has been training at Kando Hughesdale for 3 years now and thanks to the amazing teachers he has remained interested, motivated and excited by his classes there.
We love being part of this community and I like to think that one day my son may join the team of wonderful sensei's that put their heart and soul into making this such a great dojo.
Thank you Kando crew!

I have seen my son's resilience grow
Kids are encouraged to support each other, focus on self (perseverance & courage) & develop goals for growth. I have seen my own son's resilience grow through his time here.
Mat Chat is part of the program for kids. It involves discussing a range of topics from learning from failure/loss, peer group pressure, making things right when you do the wrong thing, and being true to yourself.
As kids progress there is also a Leadership Program available that looks quite detailed.

Very positive environment to develop self-esteem
My son is not good at ball sport so he was not very confident and thought he was not good.
Kando provides and very positive environment for him to develop his movement skills and his self-esteem improves.
All the Sempai are full of positive energy and kind. I am so glad to find a place my son can continue to develop his strength and mind.
