Students and enthusiasts of Martial Arts have many reasons for their interest in this and other martial art styles. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.

Whether you are interested in our programs for mental or physical well being, Kando Marial Arts offers a number of programs that will fit your developmental needs and your busy schedule as well.

NEW!!! - CAGE FITNESS

Kando Martial Arts is a licensed Cage Fitness facility with Cage Fitness classes starting shortly.

CAGE FITNESS is a complete fitness system that is based on the structure of a championship MMA bout.  What this means is that Cage Fitness will give you a total body workout over 5 x 5 minute rounds.  The key elements that Cage Fitness focuses on are endurance, strength, power, and core.  This is accomplished through our 5 round fitness system. Cage Fitness is a non contact fitness program designed for both men and women.

Little Dragons
The Little Dragons Program has been developed as a specialised program to give children aged 4 & 5 years old a head start on basic fundamentals and life skills. These special skills are taught to the Little Dragons in an organised format that will enhance their abilities and assist their confidence, co-ordination and interaction with other children. It also provides a fantastic base of karate to launch into their future Martial Arts training!

Children's Program
The Kando Martial Arts Children's Program places emphasis not only on discipline, respect and self defence, but also encourages the children to learn through fun and enjoyment of the art. At Kando we realise that Martial Arts is not just about kicking and punching, but about building confidence and life skills that will benefit in every day living. The results from the children's program are reflected in the children - internally in the growth and personal development, and externally in the form of many state and national representatives in competition.

We also reinforce values you will be teaching your children at home, including important issues such as self respect, how to avoid and deal with bullying, and when to use their karate for self defence.

BlackBelt Club & Weapons Program
This program is designed for those children who wish to dedicate themselves to Martial Arts training and achieve the next level”. The Blackbelt Club syllabus includes specialised Blackbelt Club classes, extended syllabus training, ground defence training, tournament & competition training. Your child will also learn how to (safely) use traditional martial arts weapons in the weapons program. Students will learn drills, skills and kata with Bokken (wooden samurai swords), the Jo (long stick) as well as one and two sticks based on the Philipino martial art of Escrima in a fun, safe and controlled environment. A great add on for our budding traditionalists out there!

Xtreme Martial Arts (XMA)
The Xtreme Martial Arts is a world wide phenomenon causing a revolution in the martial arts world. We are proud to be one of only a few clubs in Australia offering the official XMA program.

Combining high energy music with choreographed dynamic martial arts, this is an upgrade that will bring out the absolute best in your child’s martial arts. The program is suitable for beginners to advanced students.
