Speaking Engagements &
Jiu Jitsu Seminars

I'm Michael Alexander, but you might know me as Black Belt Mike. I'm not here to sugarcoat my story or fill your head with fluff. Like my approach in the ring and on the mat, I bring the same raw, unfiltered honesty to my speaking gigs.

I'm a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt turned speaker, and I've been through the grinder – just like many of you. But here's the thing: nobody really cares about your sob stories or mine. It's harsh, but it's true. We've all got our battles, our scars. What matters is what we do with them.

I've taken my knocks in life and turned them into lessons – lessons I now share across industries. From martial arts to sports teams, construction, you name it, I've been there, speaking the hard truths. I deliver keynote speeches, run workshops, and host seminars. But don't expect a pat on the back and a "poor you" from me. I'm here to give you the unvarnished reality, to push you to face your challenges head-on.

I don't deal in one-size-fits-all solutions. I tailor my services to fit your industry, your audience. Because let's face it, the same old pep talk isn't going to cut it. You need strategies and insights that resonate with your specific battlefield, be it the corporate boardroom or the sports arena.

In my book and in my speeches, I draw parallels from my life – the discipline of martial arts, the cutthroat world of business, the grit needed in acting. It's all about facing up to the hard stuff and not backing down. Whether it's overcoming addiction or breaking free from toxic patterns, I've seen it all. And I bring these insights to you, raw and unfiltered.

So, if you're looking for someone to coddle you, I'm not your guy. But if you're ready to hear some hard truths, to get tools that actually make a difference, then let's talk. Because at the end of the day, it's not about the hand you're dealt; it's about how you play your cards. And I'm here to show you how to play to win.
