In a real-life setting, you are not going to be in a ring or surrounded by a cage to keep other people out and there won’t be a referee asking “Are YOU ready?” or to stop the fight to keep you from getting hospitalized or killed.

Attacks can come from anywhere, and usually when you least expect them.

KEYSI by Justo Dieguez
Almost all Martial Arts claim to teach students self-defense in some form especially with today’s MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) craze. However, many of the techniques learned have little if any real-world application and the training concept is focused on rules for competition. The vast majority are based on competition training for kids, sport based entertainment for wanna-be athlete adults or programs claiming to be the real answer but really just repackaged foreign military basic training programs to make weekend warriors “combat ready” instantly.

They key concept of KEYSI -- which means 'from the heart' – is predatory movement and protecting your head and body using your arms as a shield, even when you're attacked by multiple people, defending and attacking even from perceived positions of vulnerability like kneeling, sitting, lying down or having your back turned. The goal is to teach you how to react correctly yet instinctively, and use parts of your body (elbows, hammerfists, Headbutts) that are durable both offensively and defensively compared to parts of your body that might be prone to breaking more easily (like the hands) or sacrificing your base while standing by throwing sport based high kicking techniques.
Recognizing the importance of expanding on instinctive response under stress; KEYSI applies Adrenaline Inoculation while developing controlled measured aggression under extreme stress, using simplistic and devastating attacks to the body's most vulnerable points with the view that aggressive efficiency is the most important component in a fight.
