Alexander Lanshe - Bio
National Speaker, Amazon #1 Best Selling Author and 22 year veteran of martial arts, martial science, personal protection, and combat fighting systems
Alexander Lanshe grew up in the greater Akron area in northeast Ohio with his parents and 6 younger siblings. He was homeschooled his entire life prior to going to the University of Akron where he received a Bachelor’s of Science degree while double majoring in Exercise Science and Philosophy. Growing up, he held all manner of different jobs from Golf Caddy at the beautiful Donald Ross design of Congress Lake in Hartville, Ohio, to buss boy at the nation’s largest dinner-theatre, to working at the University of Akron in the Student Success department, to working 1 day as a truck dispatcher.
Like you, Alex has been through his share of struggles. He has had to experience unrequited love; was involved in a cult for 12 years without even realizing it, the separation and exposing of which he chronicled in a 4 part blog series - he lost many friends when he separated from this cult and has had to cope with that loss; he was bullied as a child for being nerdy and smart; he has fallen for multi-level marketing, pyramid scheme businesses in his youth; he has watched his mother care for his Alzheimer ridden Grandfather; buried his grandmother; helped his parents to raise and care for his autistic younger brother; has made bad dating choices; watched his childhood friends bury their 3 year old sister; and had to help put down his family dog who had taken care of for 17 years.
From the age of 5 when his parents first enrolled him in Karate, Alex has trained with and been mentored by some of the most influential protectors and warriors in the country. He has been teaching & training people just like you about martial arts, personal protection and self-defense for over a decade. He has experience in Karate jutsu, Tae Kwon Do, Jiu Jutsu and Kumite. At the age of 10, Alex earned his black belt from Dr. Michael Dunphy, 8th Dan and Director of the Shinbukan Center for the Martial Arts. At the age of 16, Alex earned his adult 1st degree black belt (Shodan) in Comprehensive Martial Sciences (a style that focused equally on weaponry, grappling and striking training) from Dr. Michael Dunphy. He currently has a 4th degree black belt (Yondan). Alex has competed in several Martial Arts Tournaments in Ohio, competing in Kata (choreographed forms) and Kumite (sparring) Divisions. His most intense bout was when, at age 17, he fought a 21 year old member of the National Sudanese Sparring Team. Alex has trained with a great number of classical Japanese weaponry including: the bokuto (wooden sword), tanto (knife), tanbo (short stick), bo (staff), tonfa, nunchaku, sai, Oru (boat oar), tessen (war fan), obi (belt) and manrikigusari (samurai power chain).
In addition to his extensive martial arts background, Alex has done a good deal of tactical training including: graduating from the NRA Basic Pistol Course; Kevin Davis' (Former Police and SWAT Officer with over 500 tactical missions to his resume) 21 hour, Advanced Tactical Concepts Course where he was put through pistol training equivalent to what SWAT and other Police Officers receive; Highly specialized Force-on-Force training (live scenario training with air soft pistols - Alex served as the protector and has suited up many times as the attacker); and he has taken Rory Miller's 16 hour, InFighting course (power generation, how to fight at super close quarters, and grappling tactics). Alex's training has saved lives according to his clients and many have reported that they were able to prevent a bad situation from developing or escalating due his training.
Due to his extensive martial background and his love for protecting others, Alex started his own company in 2014, Alexander Lanshe LLC, where he provides personal protection solutions to private individuals, groups, & companies. He has conducted personal protection seminars for men and women from teacher’s organizations such as the, Women, Infant, Children group; The Well Armed Woman Shooting Chapters; university and college students, as well as current and former members of the police and military, including the US Navy, US Army Rangers and other branches. He currently has a core group of Top Tier Clients who train weekly in martial arts, martial science and the training of all things self-protection.
