As told to Robert 'Snake' Mickey

'Petey is an excellent technician, very fast, very quick, and in absolute superb condition. Not just a technician, he is in superb condition.'-Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace

'Peter has a gift of being able to structure kickboxing skills and drills in a simple, complete and cmprehensive manner, which I think would be easily understood and appreciated by anyone from a novic to an advanced practitioner.'-Joe Lewis

'I had heard many things abut Peter as a fighter and had seenhim on TV, but I never had the popportunity to meet ham until he came into my gym. As I watched him train, Iknew right away he was no ordinary fighter. He was quick-thinking, clever, active andhad fast techniquue, but it was his charming personaity that made him an extraordinary fighter.'-Master Toddy

'I've trained with hm, I've watched him work, and I'm a big fan. Don't let the dazzing smile fool you. Beaneath that electric grin are ripping skills so dense, they have to struggle to get out of each other's way.'-Shadoe Stevens, actor-writer, one of the stars of Dave's World on CBS

'When I first met Petey, I thought he was very gracious, a kind, gentle person, but also a flexible and fast fighter. 'Here's a good-looking a softspoken guy,' I thought, 'There's no way he's a kickboxer.' Then I learned of his incredible record and saw him fight. Pete's a worlverine. He does what he has to do to survive and then he turns it off just as quickly. They can't touch this brother. The trick is to be fighter inside of the ring and to be a gentleman outside the ring. Petey does that pretty well. He's an excellent role model and a universal example for people of every color to follow.'-Cuba Gooding, Jr., actor

'Petey's a true gentleman. He's respectful, he's kind, he's courteous, he's polite. He's a good friend. Training with him, I've learned so much and become much more well-rounded. He's an infinite well of knowledge and I appreciate him for that.'-Kathy Long, five-time world kickboxing champion

'Pete is a thinking fighter, adn a thinking fighter will be a successful fighter. Avoid the punches as Pete has and you'll stay on top. It's a privilege to work with him, whether helping him train for one of his fights or being coached for one of mine.'-Hector Lopez, 1984 Olympic Silver Medalist, Boxing, top-ranking professional boxer
