About Kano Judo Schools

At Kano Judo Schools, we’re more than just a place to train — we’re a community. Whether you’re five or fifty, experienced or brand new, there’s a spot for you on the mat.

We’ve been around since 1957, growing from a small local club into a multigenerational team of passionate coaches.

We’re proud of our history, but even prouder of the connections we’ve built along the way.

Come for the judo. Stay for the people.

Benefits of judo

Judo is more than self-defense – it’s self-development.
It builds character, confidence, and community.

Builds Confidence & Focus

Judo develops mental strength, resilience, and self-belief in kids and adults alike.

Encourages Respect & Discipline

At its core, judo is about honour, self-control, and mutual respect — on and off the mat.

Fosters Friendship & Community

Train together, grow together. Judo creates lasting bonds in a welcoming, team-oriented environment.

Boosts Fitness & Coordination

It’s a full-body workout that improves strength, balance, and overall athletic ability.

Meet your coaches

Our coaching team brings together decades of experience, international accreditation, and a deep commitment to personal growth — on and off the mat. At Kano, you’re guided by second- and third-generation instructors who live and breathe judo’s values of respect, discipline, and community.
