"⸻ Kando Knox is an amazing club to be a part of. Before joining, I took my kids to two other places, but they just didn’t connect. As soon as you walk into Kando, you feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and inclusive from the moment you arrive, and the kids are given uniforms straight away so they feel comfortable and part of the group. The teachers are the standout. They do an incredible job with young children, making classes engaging, fun, and full of positive energy. The kids respond to it and really enjoy being there. At the end of each class, they take a moment to talk with the kids about important values, such as being kind to others and listening to their parents. It’s genuinely a wonderful environment. I highly recommend going down and getting involved – we’re so glad we found this place."

"The teachers are so fun and awesome, the lessons are fun and I love it! Before starting at Kando my daughter had no extra curricular and was very sad and low mood. Her mood is improving and so is confidence! Come to Kando, it’s so much fun!"

"I want to highlight an important aspect of what is great about Kando to help answer the question: “why should I send my kids here?” Answer: Role models. It’s not just that Andy, Sonya and the Kando team are really thoughtful role models, modelling behaviours, values and ethics that we want for all kids to be upstanding members of society. It is also that kids get to learn how to be good role models themselves from other kids of higher belts (who have an ability to help out with lower belts classes through the leadership program), and from the adult instructors too. In addition to the many physical benefits of the martial arts sport, the very deliberate program that Kando has teaches kids respectful values, leadership, empathic helping, patience, mental resilience, confidence by overcoming fear and much more. If you’re looking for a sport for your kids, I encourage you to consider a trial at Kando, and see this for yourself, as it’s much more than just kicking and punching."

"As an adult student at the Knox karate dojo, my experience has been immensely rewarding. The training has not only enhanced my physical abilities but also fostered personal growth and discipline. Engaging with skilled instructors and fellow practitioners has created a supportive environment that encourages continuous improvement and camaraderie. As for the kids, learning martial arts significantly enhances their self-esteem. Through the practice of these disciplines, kids develop not only physical skills but also a sense of accomplishment and confidence. As they progress and achieve new ranks or techniques, they gain a greater belief in their abilities, which positively impacts their overall self-image. Additionally, martial arts foster resilience and discipline, further contributing to a child's personal growth and self-worth."

"My daughter has been learning Karate here for two years and she enjoys every class. She has grown more confident and has also learned many valuable skills – from how to deal with bullying, to understanding social rules, respect, and discipline. Sometimes she feels a bit low, but after class she always comes out happier and more energetic. We are very thankful to Sensei Andy, Senpai Sonia and all the other Senpais and young leaders for their wonderful support and guidance."

"Kando has given best guidance and support to Raghav to grow and achieve best at each level.. He was already at Brown back in India but started fresh here , as a parent we were little worried as how he will take it but Andy and Team made this process so humble, consistent and enjoyable for him that today he is almost on verge to get his brown again.. Thank you so much Andy and all sempai's, Leaders who helped carved the good in him. We are Kando Family.❤️"

"My family have attended karate for many years, when they decided to move to Kando I decided to try the Adult class with them. They have been so supportive in my journey to learn and get fit. In 2 months I have gone from struggling to do sit ups and push ups to feeling stronger in my core and 30 situps can be done in a row. I get to do this and with my husband and 3 adult children. Great karate school,great people and a great atmosphere."

"Our family has been part of Kando Knox for almost 5 years now, and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. Personally, I have noticed a huge improvement in my fitness, coordination, balance, and overall confidence since I started training. Both of my boys also train, and the benefits for them have been great. Beyond learning karate, they get so much out of the "mat chats" with valuable life discussions. It’s clear the instructors genuinely care about helping kids grow both on and off the mats. We have also made some pretty awesome friends along the way, which has made the experience even more rewarding. Kando Knox is more than a dojo, it’s a welcoming, supportive family that empowers all ages to be their best. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of giving martial arts a try!"

"Kando Martial Arts is a wonderful club with a fantastic culture. The club is more than just a place to practice Martial Arts. My kids have gained skills they would never have developed had they not been part of Kando. Having children who have been through all aspects of Kando from Little Dragons and Kinder Ninjas, through to the junior program, leadership program, and teen and adults! We couldn't have asked for a better club or community to be part of. If you've ever thought about giving it a try or checking it out for your children, you should definitely give it a go!!"

"I'm thrilled to have joined Kando Martial Arts Knox to pursue my passion for martial arts. From day one, I was welcomed into a vibrant and supportive community that shares the same dedication to the discipline. Their comprehensive training schedule caters to all ages and experience levels—making it easy for anyone to get started or take their skills further. I'm currently training in both Karate and Jiu Jitsu, and it's been an incredibly rewarding experience. My two daughters are also training at Kando Martial Arts Knox. I highly recommend Kando Martial Arts Knox for anyone—adults or children—looking for quality instruction, community, and personal growth."

"I’ve been sending my children to Kando Knox now for over 2 years and am genuinely impressed. The Senseis were welcoming, kind, and took the time to make sure everyone felt valued — whether you were new or experienced. You could tell they genuinely cared about each student’s growth and confidence, both on and off the mat. A fantastic environment for learning and personal development. Highly recommend"

"Our daughter Ebony has been attending Kando Knox for roughly a year and half and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is considerably short for her age and has struggled with other sports. Ebony is learning heaps of valuable skills such as self defence, focus, respect, and perseverance, all while staying active and having a great time. She even joined the leadership team and is loving helping the younger classes out. The instructors are incredibly supportive and great with kids, always encouraging them to do their best. Ebony loves training with Sempai Sonya and Sempai Meg. We are so proud of Ebony and how far she has come since first starting at Kando Knox."

"We were looking for something that could help my son build focus, confidence, and healthy habits. He had lots of energy but sometimes found it hard to channel it in a positive and structured way. The instructors are not only skilled, but also genuinely caring. They understand how to motivate, guide, and support each student at their own pace. The environment is respectful, structured, and encouraging. Since joining Kando, we’ve seen such positive changes. He’s more focused, respectful, and confident — not just in class, but at home and at school too. It's been wonderful to see him grow through something he truly enjoys."

"Life was good. I go to gym three times a week, and now I have replaced some gym time with Kando. Classes are well communicated and explained, catering for beginners. I like the challenge. The only way to find out is jump in and give it a go, perhaps you’ll find out you are more capable than you thought!"

"My 7 year old son has been attending Kando for 3 years, it has become an absolute staple of his life. Recently after a tough day at school, he reluctantly went to Kando, when he finished up he shared that he now felt calm and happy. Sensei Andy has established a wonderful community at the Kando Knox dojo. The students really do learn life skills, if you are looking for an exceptional dojo for your child and/or family, look no further."

"Exceptional Martial Arts Training for Kids and Adults: I have trained and instructed in the art of karate for 22 years (3rd Dan), so I am confident and qualified to say the following: My son has been a part of Kando Martial Arts Knox for about four months, and I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. The instructors are exceptionally skilled and patient, ensuring that each child gets the attention they need to improve. The classes are well-organised, emphasising not only martial arts techniques but also discipline, respect, and self-confidence. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, which has made my son feel comfortable and eager to learn. He has shown remarkable progress in his skills and has also developed a stronger sense of responsibility, focus and respect. Sensei Andy MUSER (4th Dan) is an incredible instructor and brings lots of humour and knowledge of the art to each class, it's easy to see why the kids love him. Additionally, I have since returned to training at Kando and I highly recommend Kando Martial Arts Knox to any parent or adult seeking a high-quality martial arts program for their child or for yourself. It’s a wonderful place for kids and adults to learn, grow, and have fun!"

"Our kids have been attending Karate for a few years now. They have been learning and growing not just in martial arts, but also confidence, discipline and life skills - whilst thoroughly having fun and making friends! So much so that it's convinced me to also recently join in training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at Knox, where the above is also applying to me! Whilst challenging, it's doing wonders for me personally, physically, and mentally. Sensei Andy (and team) are passionate about martial arts, teaching, and mentoring - fostering a family-friendly culture of learning and camaraderie, whereby classmates who share similar goals are just as supportive. Sensei Andy will challenge, yet encourage you (and your kids) to be your best!"

"The whole family joined Kando Knox Martial Arts a few years ago. From day one, we were welcomed into a supportive environment that caters to practitioners of all skill levels. The instructors, with their high skill levels, incredible patience, and dedication, have helped each of us reach our full potential. The training sessions are well-structured, providing a perfect balance between discipline and fun. Since joining, we’ve all seen significant improvements in our physical fitness, self-discipline, and confidence. The sense of community at Kando Knox is remarkable, with fellow students always ready to lend a hand or offer encouragement. What truly sets Kando Knox apart is their commitment to the holistic development of their students. Beyond martial arts techniques, they emphasise respect, perseverance, and humility. It’s been wonderful to share this experience with my family, and we all look forward to our classes. Whether you’re looking to learn self-defence, get in shape, or be part of a fantastic community, Kando Knox Martial Arts is the place to be. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to embark on a martial arts journey!"

Andy and the team have really impressed me with how they structure their classes and teach the kids. Kando Knox embodies inclusiveness, respect, fun spirit, discipline and skill. I love how they practice encouragement in the classes through words of affirmation and high fives. It’s wonderful to see my son be inspired and strengthen his passion participating in the classes.
