In 1984, Peter Honigmann started his journey in martial arts in Kenpo Karate under Grandmaster John McSweeney, a pioneer in reality-based self-defense.  John served in multiple branches of the military, was one of Ed Parker’s first black belts, introduced Kenpo Karate to Ireland, worked as a bodyguard for the Kennedy family, and opened a martial arts studio in Elmhurst, Illinois (which is still teaching his style of Kenpo).  Peter was drawn to John’s powerful style of teaching, which focused on simple and effective self-defense.  Peter trained in Kenpo for 12 years under John, John’s student Tom Saviano, and Mr. Saviano’s student Steve Rigitano.

After John passed away Peter purchased the rights to Street Karate from his widow.  He took the book and has annotated with notes from his own self-defense prospective, as well as adding some legal considerations.  While not an entirely original book, it could be very useful to people looking for some hints and tips on learning self-defense, and is a unique book when it comes to talking about real situations where martial arts were used in self-defense.

In 2007, Steve was diagnosed with renal cancer. Although this was a frightening time, it began a journey of discovery into topics such as wellness, nutrition, meditation, and personal development. Much of his belief regarding the importance of healthy lifestyles stems from his experience with cancer and subsequent self-education. The essential nature of this knowledge was then solidified by caring for an abundance of patients in the Emergency Department suffering from complications of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer. Over the years, he began to realize that there was a positive side. He understood that many times these conditions could be prevented and often reversed.

He has years of experience taking care of tens of thousands of patients, and it is his unshakeable belief that we should all be active participants in our health, doing the best we can to take care of the most valuable gift that has been given to us. He believes that we can be better.

To this end, he has written two children’s books that impart lessons of good health and his latest work: “My Steps Forward: An Inspirational Guide to Living a Better Life,” which is part memoir and part inspirational. In its pages, he shares many of his thoughts on health and wellness.
