Customer Reviews

  • Our son has been with KONGQUEST since 2013. Raoul is a great master who adequately motivates their pupils and gets the best out of them in a friendly and respectful environment. In 2016 we moved further away, and our commute is almost 45 mins to get to his studio, yet we continue to make the trip because the progress our son has made under his supervision is tremendous. Highly recommended.

  • Our 9yr old son has been training with Master Raoul since the age of 3.5. Master Raoul fosters an environment which promotes personal, mental and physical growth. The lessons learned have and continue to serve our son well in all aspects of his life, from school to high performance athletics. We strongly recommend Raoul if you are considering enrolling your child in martial arts.

  • My daughter Liana started at KONGQUEST Mississauga when she was just 2.5 years old. From the very first day, I knew that Raoul was an excellent coach, teacher and mentor. My daughter’s confidence has grown leaps and bounds since she started the program; she is now 6 years old and has a goal of becoming a black belt and one day being a teacher at KONGQUEST.

  • My sons have been learning taekwondo at KONGQUEST for more than three years. The master, Raoul, is very patient and professional. My kids began from cute little kiddos. Now, they became two serious Red advance belts. I can't wait to see them become Black Belts. Thank you so much!

  • Since my 5 year old son has been taking classes at KONGQUEST, I’ve been very impressed with how things have gone. My son can be shy at times, and any instance where that has happened, Raoul and the other students have not only encouraged him to join in, but made him feel important and part of the group. After 30 seconds, he’s comfortable and enjoying the class like everyone else.

  • "My two children (girl 7) and (boy 4) have been a part of the KONGQUEST family for a 1 year and they're loving every minute of it! It truly has been an exceptional experience. Not only are they learning about the sport of taekwondo, but they're also learning important life skills and building confidence. The instructor and staff are very friendly. They treat each child with dignity and respect. It's overall a great atmosphere! "
