About Kano Judo Schools
Kano Judo Schools is a family-run judo dojo in Joondalup, where second- and third-generation instructors teach judo's core values of respect, discipline and community. With a structured pathway running from preschoolers right through to adults, it is a club built around long-term development rather than quick results.
The Knoester family's passion for the sport is a recurring theme among members, many of whom have trained here for years and speak warmly of the supportive, encouraging environment. Parents describe coaches who genuinely love watching their students grow, and long-time members recall how special and welcoming the club felt from a young age. That continuity and care give Kano a strong sense of belonging.
Classes are grouped by age and stage, from Little Grapplers for the youngest through Kano Kids, Teens and an open adults program, so beginners and experienced grapplers alike have a clear place to start. For Joondalup families and adults wanting to learn judo, build fitness and develop focus in a positive, structured setting, Kano Judo Schools offers a genuinely community-minded home for the sport.
