Born in Staten Island, New York he began training under his father, the late Grand Master Pete Siringano Sr. in 1961. Receiving no favoritism, he came up through the ranks often having to train with adults.
During this period, he attended and participated in many tournaments and demonstrations, always at his father's side. One high point was when in 1967 he met the late Bruce Lee at S. Henry Cho's tournament at the old Madison Square Garden.
