While training at Bushido Kai Sensei Peters attended training seminars with Sensei Damblant at the Hakudokan and also trained with Sensei Nakamura at the Shidokan. Later Sensei Peters joined Seidokwan Academy under Sensei Fred Okimura where he trained for Shodan. Sensei Peters was awarded the rank of Shodan by Judo Canada in 1977 and was certified by Japan’s Kodokan in 1978.
