About Sensei Peterec
Biography of a Successful Southpaw   

  Stan Peterec started his martial arts journey at age 15 when he took up shotokan karate under the guidance of Jim MacDonald, a sensei who taught in a small logging and fishing town on Canada’s Vancouver Island. Observing how much his disciple had advanced during a few short years, MacDonald encouraged him to move to a bigger city so he could expand his martial arts horizons.

Peterec journeyed south to Victoria, British Columbia, and continued his shotokan training under Lindon Bateson. By age 18, Peterec was working as a bouncer at some of the roughest nightclubs in town. He supplemented his martial arts education by attending seminars conducted by Benny Urquidez and Bill Wallace. In fact, it was those men’s teachings that inspired Peterec to try his hand at kickboxing.

He launched his ring career by winning a local toughman tournament, but one thing about the experience disturbed him: He saw that he needed to improve his punching skills. Peterec investigated several fighting arts but then realized that he needed to look no further than Western boxing.

He credits Jack Noesgar and Wally Petrovic for raising his boxing skills to a professional level, and Ali Babri for helping him to learn Grappling/Judo/Jujitsu, and to this day he claims the pugilistic art is all anyone really needs for self-defense.

Sensei Peterec has wanted to own his own martial arts school since the age of 15. He is a well-experienced and knowledgable instructor. Stan "The Steamer" Peterec has an extensive background in competitve kickboxing and karate, earning several titles:
