Later in 1964 while serving in the United States Marine Corps he began training in Shorin Ryu Karate. In 1967 he resumed his study of Judo and Jujitsu. His Marine Corps assignments enabled him to travel to the orient including mainland Japan, Okinawa and Southeast Asia. He quickly earned a reputation as a rugged fighter in the Marine Corps. During his career he trained with a host of noted masters. He made it a point of seeking out the best instructors.
A decorated veteran, he served as a team leader with the US Marine’s 3rd Force Reconnaissance Company in Vietnam. In 1967 and 1968 while stationed at Dong Ha, Vietnam he led jungle teams which gathered intelligence information. These teams served as bait for enemy attacks. During that time he conducted numerous reconnaissance patrols around the demilitarized zone. Since then he has become a uniquely qualified and popular instructor with international teaching credentials and experience. He has traveled widely to spread the teachings of the martial arts.
Hanshi Alexander earned a Baccalaureate Degree in Business Administration from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Florida in 1979 and did graduate work in Asian history at the same university under Dr. Tsung I. Dow. Later, he received his Ph.D. degree from Pacific Western University in political science.

PROFESSOR PEDRO SAUER SEMINAR
SEPT 10 & 11, 2022
8TH DEGREE GRACIE JIU-JITSU CORAL BELT
Pedro Sauer was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where from an early age he began training in the martial arts. At age five, he began boxing and later took up judo and taekwondo. At age 15, however, his friend Rickson Gracie invited him to train jiu-jitsu with his younger brother, Royler, who at the time was only nine years old. The outcome of this experience convinced him that jiu-jitsu was the most effective of all the martial arts, and he began training the very next day.
His training under both Helio and Rickson took place during a time when jiu-jitsu was making its crucial transition as an obscure Brazilian art to a worldwide martial arts phenomenon. Pedro worked towards a double major (Economics and Business Administration) in college, and took post-graduate courses at Fundacao Getulio Vargas. He worked in Brazil as a stockbroker for eleven years before deciding to move to the United States and pursue a career teaching jiu-jitsu.
With Rorion Gracie leading the exodus in 1990, Pedro was part of the first generation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors and fighters that moved to the United States to reveal the art of BJJ to the world. He lived in California with Rickson Gracie and trained daily with the Gracie brothers (Rickson, Rorion, and Royce), their father, Helio Gracie, their cousin, Renzo Gracie and the Machado Brothers, as well as many others. In December of that same year, he moved to Utah where he began pioneering Gracie jiu-jitsu in the American southwest and eventually started the Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association, which is now one of the largest and most respected Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Associations in the world today with well over 100 academies under his guidance.
Voted “Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructor” in the world.

Shihan Kyle Hayes Bujinkan Seminar
June 2022
Daishihan (15th Degree)
In 1985 Kyle Hayes began studying martial arts. He traveled to Indianapolis and studied with his martial arts teacher Robert Johnson (27-year veteran of the Marion County Sheriff’s Department and a veteran of the Vietnam War). Kyle trained for 2 years under Daishihan Johnson before a career change moved him to the Northern part of Indiana in the small town of Warsaw. He married his college sweetheart just prior to the move. Kyle’s career change to Northern Indiana took him from the automotive industry into a medical device company where he designed and developed spinal and orthopedic trauma systems for surgical intervention. In Warsaw, he started and founded the Bujinkan Kosciusko Dojo, but continued to travel south to Indianapolis over the next six years on weekends to continue his training under Daishihan Johnson. In 1996, Kyle passed the Godan test and became licensed as a Shidoshi (“Teacher of the Warrior Ways”). He and Daishihan Johnson traveled together to Japan in 1999 to train with Soke Hatsumi (Grandmaster or head of the Bujinkan Dojo). He continued to travel with Daishihan Johnson over the next 20 years on an almost yearly basis, to train with Soke Hatsumi. He was promoted to Judan (10th degree) in 2004 on one of these trips. He would later be promoted to Jugodan (15th degree) in 2010 and was then promoted to the title of Daishihan in 2018. He currently runs the Bujinkan Orange County Dojo in California and works as an engineer designing and has received patents for devices in many fields including the orthopedic industry and the long range shooting industry.
