I don't usually write reviews for anything but Leo Wongs Tae Kwon Do and Krav Maga is honestly the…read morebest martial arts/real-life self-defence school in Canada. I come from an immigration/security/law enforcement background and have lots of training in use of force as well as some martial arts. Before joining this gym I thought I had nothing to learn. Raymond showed me I know nothing. He has a no-nonsense way of training using real-life scenarios as well as demonstrates amazing skill and teaching ability. Even though it is a group class Raymond makes sure he spends time with each student working on his or her skillset. From day one they made us feel safe after we saw all the safety precautions in place for the safety of students. All equipment is clean and ready to use. The training facility is very clean and organized. There is lots of new equipment available for each student at no cost. I would recommend them to all my friends, male, female or even children. Each class is created for its intended, student. Last but on least I have lost 15 pounds in 2 months of training twice a week. Raymond motivates and inspires you to push yourself. Thank you for allowing me to take part in this amazing program

I have been taking the Krav Maga program for about a few years now and absolutely love it. Raymond…read moreis an excellent instructor who loves what he does. I love the camaraderie of the class very much as well. The level 1 classes are challenging and consist of a lot of cardio and self defense fundamentals. Level 2 and up is a whole new ballgame with intense drills, cardio and sparring. Raymonds classes offer a very positive and encouraging environment which keeps you coming back.

I'm current head coach of the Senior National Karate team and it is my pleasure to…read more write this letter of reference for Mr Don Ritter. I have known Don for the past 20 years. I first met him at the 1999 Canadian National Championships while we were both competing for a position on the National Karate team. His long standing competitive career was highlighted by 14 national gold medals (Karate Canada) representing Canada in 5 WKF World Championship as well as The Pan AM Games and numerous Pan-American Championships. Don Ritter retired from competition in 2005 and following his retirement he continued to support Karate Canada as an active Ontario Provincial Coach for a number of years. As coach he was well respected by all competitors and the coaching staff. As the head coach of Karate Canada, I had the pleasure of working with Don in 2014 where he was assistant coach while preparing our team to compete in Salzburg, Austria. He helped implement a preparatory training program for athletes pre-competition, during competition and post competition. His knowledge, patience and enthusiasm for karate and for coaching helped to create a positive atmosphere where athletes felt supported, well prepared and confident. As for Don's Character he is a generous individual, attentive to the needs of others and he has a strong sense of fairness and equality in dealing with people. I have no hesitation in recommending Don as an ideal candidate for any role in public and community youth athletic development. Please feel free to contact me if you have further questions. You can contact me via email at: nassim.varasteh@karatecanada.org Sincerely, Nassim Varasteh Karate Canada National Team Head Coach

I trained with Don Ritter back in 2011 while I lived in Toronto. Because of my work I have to move…read morearound quite a bit, so, I've trained with many coaches. I was a green belt; one night training Mr. Ritter observed me in kumite, he pulled me aside and something I will never forget. He said, " I think you can take the number 3 spot in Canada". That night I went home and while meditating, I broke out in tears out of happiness. In my life, I've never had someone believe in me. This motivated to be even better. I tell this story all the time, the power of someone believing you is very special. Even when I tell this story, I have to fight back my tears. Thank you Mr. Ritter, you truly are a great leader, coach and person. Though I only trained a very short time with you, I think of you often and want you to know that I learned a lot about leadership because of you. I am a better person because of you. One day when I'm back in Canada, I hope to find you again.
