Hi, I’m Peter Liciaga.

Living Strong isn’t just something I teach. It’s how I choose to live.

I grew up in the South Bronx, where life taught me early about resilience, discipline, family, and finding a way forward when the road isn’t easy.

Those lessons have followed me around the world—from performing on international stages to more than five decades in the martial arts, teaching and mentoring families, writing books, building communities, and sharing stories that remind people just how strong they really are.

Today, much of my work comes together through Living Strong Projects: writing, martial arts, storytelling, performing arts, community building, and creating places where people can learn, connect, grow, and encourage one another.

I’m a husband, father, grandfather, lifelong martial artist, writer, storyteller, teacher, and student. At 65, I’m still training, still writing, still creating, still learning—and more excited than ever about what may still be ahead.

This season of my life is less about proving what I can do and more about sharing what I’ve learned, preserving the stories that matter, serving the people around me, and leaving something meaningful for the generations that follow.

If our paths have crossed somewhere along the way—or something you’ve discovered here speaks to where you are in your own journey—I hope we stay connected.

Keep growing. Keep serving. Keep Living Strong.
