His service led him to Japan, and he learned the art of karate, a form of combat that wasn’t well known in the United States at that time. He eventually became the first North American Karate Champion and a World-renowned Legend in Martial Arts.
A true pioneer. Gary and his fellow Marines are credited with bringing karate to the United States. The first and only undefeated international fighting champion, he’ still active in martial arts, and his immeasurable influence is still felt today.

BLACK BELT MAGAZINE RECENT ARTICLE : Written by Special Reporter FLOYD BURKE
HOW "ISSHINRYU KARATE" MARTIAL ARTS LEADER "SHIHAN GARY ALEXANDER" UPDATED AN OLD ART FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM
Isshin-ryu karate legend and "Black Belt Magazine" Hall of Fame Member "Gary Alexander" has always been a get-on-the-mat-and-see-what-you-can-do kind of guy. "Rugged and tough, this decorated Marine Corps veteran is the "John Wayne" of the martial arts world". In the late 1950’s he began making a name for himself by beating the top karate stylists in ... bare-knuckle sparring matches.
"By taking on all comers" ... Gary Alexander helped his art become a respected form of Unarmed Combat; ... and ... "by beating them to a pulp", he earned a reputation as ... “THE HAMMER OF ISSHINRYU"
These days, the New Jersey-based Alexander is
busier than ever teaching a modified version of isshin-ryu, which he
simply refers to as Combat “isshin-ryu.” It is a hybrid system that just
makes good sense: a solid foundation of original isshin-ryu upon which
stands a unique blend of Alexander’s own techniques and principles.Those
improvements make the system fit the practitioner, rather than forcing
the practitioner to fit the system, he claims. The following are some of
the major modernizations.
Better Backfist “When
it comes to performing the backfist, a lot of people make the mistake
of throwing it and executing the follow-through with their entire arm
extended,” Alexander says. “This will not only get your arm broken, but
it will also make it easy for your adversary to block the technique.
I’ve had my own arm broken at the elbow while doing the backfist the
old-fashioned way — that’s why I changed it.”
To perform the
backfist the isshin-ryu plus way, first aim the elbow of your striking
arm at the target and move that fist to the opposite side of your head.
Next, using a circular motion with your elbow at the center, unleash the
technique and let your fist travel until it makes an impact, then
retract it like a whip. Remember to move only your forearm. Although the
backfist travels along an arc, the quick retraction will ensure that it
is safe as well as effective. To conceptualize how the whipping
action can turn a ho-hum technique designed for tournaments into a
devastating heavy hitter for the street, Alexander says, think about
snapping someone with a towel. It’s not the outward motion that plants a
welt on the receiving end; rather, it’s the snap that takes place once
the tip of the towel reaches maximum extension.
Gnarly Knifehand The
knifehand Alexander incorporated into his Combat Isshin-ryu is the vertical
(or very slightly angled) version of the strike. To understand its
mechanics, begin by swinging your open right hand up to the right side
of your head. Then let the knifehand fly into the target using an arcing
trajectory and the same piston-like delivery and retraction.
The
related hammerfist strike of Combat Isshin-ryu is performed in the same
manner, except with your hand closed. “In the old-fashioned method,
centrifugal force is not emphasized and the techniques are much shorter
and choppier,” Alexander says. “That renders the strikes less effective
than the way we do them.”
Effective Elbow The
isshin-ryu plus elbow strike also employs centrifugal force and
piston-like action, and the impact is made with the tip of the bone for
maximum penetration.To execute it, chamber the weapon by positioning
your right fist near your right shoulder and leaving your elbow pointed
downward. (Think of holding an ice cream cone in your hand and jamming
it, ice cream first, into your shoulder.)
Your limb does not
pause in this position; rather, the elbow immediately blasts upward or
horizontally and is retracted. That keeps you from exposing yourself to a
counterattack executed the moment you lock out the strike.
Combat Kicks “In
standard isshin-ryu and isshin-ryu plus, the kicks all chamber up and
piston out and back,” Alexander says. “But when you kick, you’ve got to
be able to sneak your foot into the target. The average fighter’s radar
zone is about 45 degrees up, down and to the side. Since most kicks come
at him inside his radar zone, he can easily block or grab your leg and
take you to the ground.
“So you have to build a better
mousetrap,” Alexander continues. Combat “Isshin-ryu uses different angles
of attack — ones that most people don’t see or use—and it teaches you to
whip the kicks in at angles your opponent does not expect them to come
from.”
When doing the front snap kick and roundhouse kick,
Alexander says, you should raise your knee high enough to use it as a
kind of sighting device. That action should culminate with your calf
muscle “bouncing off” your hamstring muscle, after which you let the
kick fly. Do not attempt to kick to a level that is higher than the
level at which you can point and hold your knee, he advises.
When
doing the Combat back kick, raise your knee and keep your
lower leg parallel to the ground. Cock your foot high and hold it tight
against your buttocks, then blast the kick out and back like a piston,
Alexander says.
Inescapable Conclusion After
prevailing in numerous fistfights and a myriad of sparring matches, Gary
Alexander created isshin-ryu plus as a combat-effective hybrid art for
the 20th century. Drawing from his 40-plus years of training men, women
and children from all walks of life — including numerous police officers
and military personnel — he then honed it into the finely tuned system
it is today.
As the world charges into the 21st century,
Alexander remains confident that his art will continue to meet the needs
of martial artists around the world who prefer to stay on the cutting
edge of self-defense without abandoning their traditional karate roots.
Story by Floyd Burk Isshin-ryu Karate as Gary Alexander Sees It Like
other popular karate systems that originated from the te jutsu (hand
skills) of Okinawa, isshin-ryu employs hard-style kicks, punches and
blocks, as well as extensive kata practice. In addition, there are some
fundamentally unique qualities that set the style apart from others.
“One
of the major differences is that we do our punches with a vertical fist
instead of with the twisting-corkscrew punch used in styles such as
goju-ryu and shotokan,” Gary Alexander says. “And we snap the punch out
and back, rather than lock it out like most other styles. We also add
the snapping action to our blocks and kicks.” But the traditional
version of the art has some drawbacks, Alexander claims. “The first that
comes to mind is in the kicking. In isshin-ryu, kicks never go above
the rib cage. This compounds a major weakness in the style, which is the
idea that people with different body types — tall and lean, or short
and stocky — should all fight the same way. This just doesn’t make
sense.
“My philosophy has always been that if you are forced to
fight, you should attack your adversary by land, sea and air — use
everything. MMA aka GA/IAMA Marine Martial Arts circa 1962 proven !
Using
a kick to the throat or head, you can knock a man clean out with one
swift blow, so why not use it if you can? If you have the body structure
to out-leverage your opponent and you like to get in close and execute,
say, a powerful head butt to his nose, why not let it be part of your
arsenal?”
If Alexander could change just one thing about
traditional karate, it would be the closed-mindedness. “It’s the old
school of thinking, which goes something like, ‘Nothing needs to be
changed or improved upon,’ and ‘Each system of traditional karate has
all the answers.’ As ridiculous as those words are, they are still
prevalent within the circle of martial artists who call themselves
authentic isshin-ryu stylists.”
5 Combat Tips from the Master • Defense is offense:
Seek to inflict damage on your opponent with your blocking techniques
and use them to create openings so you can launch effective
counterattacks. • Never underestimate your opponent: Do not
take your opponent too lightly; it could get you hurt or killed. Fight
every opponent as though he were a highly trained master. • Don’t stop at one:
When you attack, use a sequence of at least five hits. The bad guy may
block the first or second shot, but sooner or later one will get in. • Use typhooning:
If you must fight multiple attackers or find yourself in a situation in
which things get crazy, “typhooning” can save your life: Keep your
hands and feet moving, shift your body, execute sweeps and trips,
try to throw your opponent, and blast away with as many strikes as
possible. The key is to overwhelm him. • Be true to your training:
You must believe in what you are doing. No workout should be done in a
sloppy fashion or like a weekend hobby. Stay true to your art by
training as though your life depended on it.
AFTER "60 YEARS OF MARTIAL ARTS PIONEERING" SHIHAN GARY ALEXANDER, 10TH DAN, SENIOR GRAND
MASTER "REMAINS UNDEFEATED" TO DATE: And this U.S. Marine was The
"First International, Bare Fisted Knock Out Karate MMA Champion and "his" workouts still probably puts yours to shame !
By Barry Carter | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
Every three days, Gary Alexander is in the pool for a workout that most can’t handle.
With
scuba fins on his feet, Alexander does 100 laps, mostly on his back,
alternating with freestyle strokes. The next 100 laps he runs back and
forth without the fins, climbing from the pool to throw 800 punches,
blocks and kicks. “Bam-bam-bam," he says, his arms snapping at the air
rapidly. “I try to stay in as good as shape as I can."
The two-hour regimen where he lives, is hardcore, just the way Alexander -- likes it. Salute the United States Marine Corps for his rugged intensity.
Over
the last 60 years it has fashioned him into a martial arts legend, who
is still sharp and more than capable of mixing it up. Please bow at
the waist for this 10th degree black belt and shihan - meaning expert -
in Isshin-ryu karate. His pedigree is as broad as his shoulders and as
tall as his lean 6-foot-2 inch frame. He’s the first international bare
knuckle knock-out karate champion, winning the Canadian Karate
Championship in November 1962. In that same month, Alexander, again with
his bare-hands, won the North American Championship at Madison Square
Garden.
“He was the best of the best," said, Frank Huff, former
Marine and 9th degree black belt in Tiger Commando Karate and 8th degree
in combat Hapkido.
“They didn’t nickname him the hammer by Isshin-ryu for nothing." His
mitts are large and reflect years of fighting; the knuckle on his right
hand remains damaged. All of his fingers, at some point, have been
broken. Some are not straight now. Small lumps protrude from the top of
his hand, hardened by calcium deposits, said Alexander, from striking
buildings, trees, two-by-four lumber and people.
A photo from
Madison Square Garden, November 17, 1962, when Gary Alexander won the
Mas Oyama Martial Arts Tournament, a victory that would establish
Alexander as the first North American Bare Knuckle Karate Champion.
Oyama, left, and Alexander, with the championship trophy.
“Protective gear is for sissies," Alexander said. “I’ve broken enough bones in other people to build you a couple of bodies."
He was mixed martial arts before it had a name.
Before
he was named Black Belt Magazine’s Co-Instructor in 1974, before he was
inducted to the Black Belt Magazine Hall of Fame, Martial Arts Hall of
Fame, World Karate Union Hall of Fame and the Australasian Martial Arts
Hall of Fame.
Alexander was no joke,
taking life
seriously after battling rheumatic fever and an enlarged heart growing
up in Jersey City. Diagnosed at age 4, Alexander was bedridden for eight
years, and couldn’t go to school until eighth grade. Fearing he’d have a
heart attack, Alexander said St. Aloysius High School officials
wouldn’t allow him to play sports, even though he knew he was physically
fit. He proved it. Alexander joined the Marine Corps Reserves at 17,
spending the summer before his senior year at Parris Island. “When I got out of bed, I appreciated being alive," he said.
Alexander
graduated high school a year later and signed up for active duty. He
was first stationed in Mount Fuji, Japan, serving in the weapons company
and Fleet Marine Force, an amphibious unit.
During down time,
and that was rare, Alexander and Marines studied karate in Okinawa to
remain sharp combatants. The art form, which wasn’t the United States,
appealed to Alexander from the beginning.
After six years
overseas, Alexander returned to Jersey City in 1961, where he and other
marines immersed themselves in Isshin-ryu karate. They learned from Don
Nagle, a 4th degree black belt Marine, and were responsible for bringing
the art form back to the states when they came home. Alexander
trained at night and worked several corporate jobs that he ultimately
didn’t want with tobacco and metal companies. As karate developed in the
United States, Alexander’s reputation grew. He competed in tournaments
and promoted karate events and seminars that drew thousands. In 1964,
he held the first karate Olympics at the Manhattan Center in New York.
Years later, he met martial art legends Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris.
Gary
Alexander throws Patrick Bamburak, his student, in this 2009 picture
while they were training at Roosevelt Park in Edison. (courtesy) He
produced and starred in some 20 instructional martial arts videos and
acted in films, including “Gideon Oliver” with Louis Gossett Jr. and
“Avenging Force” with Michael Dudikoff In the midst of his journey,
Alexander opened several karate schools in New Jersey, including New
Brunswick, Union, Elizabeth and Edison. All were designed to teach his
students how to defend.
Alexander was hands on, in Marine mode, wearing combat boots on the mat. Bill
Chatfield, his friend of 46 years and the former director of Selective
Service under George W. Bush, said Alexander taught with tough love and
intensity when he was his student in the 1970s.
“He was a
civilian version of a Marine Corps drill instructor," said Chatfield, a
3rd degree black belt, from his home in Dallas. Patrick Bamburak, of
Scotch Plains, has never forgotten the image of Alexander sporting
combat boots when he walked into his Edison dojo in 1991. He still
remembers the level of sparring, too. Students wore football helmets
“You
wanted to make sure you got the running back helmet or the defensive
lineman helmet," said Bamburak, a sixth-degree black who has been
Alexander’s student for 28 years. Last Friday, Alexander was at the pool again.
This
time, though, he was training John David of South Amboy. David, a
diabetic, went through a series of fighting forms, then blocks and
punches with Alexander, whom he’s been with for 30 years. “He’s from the
old school," David said.
He pushes you and himself. “I don’t
want to lose my proficiency, even at this stage of the game," Alexander
said. “Right now, I think I’m as peak as any human being can be for what
I do."
