Keysi Teaching Methodology

Keysi Teaching Methodology

Keysi teaching method is not based on the number of techniques, 1000 different techniques are not necessary to learn how to defend against an attack.

The main and most important part is to work your mind, that is why we don’t emphasise on learning endless attacks or unnecessary techniques in real life, but what makes us unique is that we dedicate our work on the instinct.

Yes the instinct…. Is the innate ability that humans possess. Is the ability that gives a mother the strength to lift a train wheel to save the life of her daughter who was trapped under it, or when a father sees that a car will run over his son and he runs towards him without thinking about his own security and physical integrity.

Keysis method of working is not with repetition or imitation. First we cultivate the body and mind, teaching each student that instinct of survival which we all have.

Description of Instinct

When we are young and we find ourselves cornered, the human being tends to protect itself, but the question is, how does it protect itself?

If we look at a child who sees a ball balling from above, if you look closely, you will get a glimpse when that child faces this situation, instinctively he will cover his head with his hands, crouches and places itself in a fetal (Fetus) position to take up less space and protect the best it can.

If we walk in darkness, why do we seek a foothold? It is the instinct of self-protection that pushes us towards that support. That ability that appears alone, not learned or taught, is the manifestation of pure instinct.

How to work the instinct?

To make students understand and to learn about their own instincts, they will be placed in complicated situations that can only reflect reality. Whether it is a knife attack or an attack two against one.

Making the student work in those situations which unfortunately are real life facts, will help students to identify the situation, learn day by day about that situation, the pressure, the fear, the powerless and to recognize the environment.

His mind will expand to a new world of sensations and understand that in real life one second is everything. Thanks to the training, perseverance and effort the next time you see that kid where the ball is falling on him, rather than shrink down and hope that the hit happens quickly. That kid will recognize the situation, will see what is coming towards him and will move away from the path without having any damage.

Our Goal in Keysi, as we mentioned before, is not to learn 1000 techniques but when that time comes you don’t shrug your shoulders, you don’t get paralyzed by fear, the goal is to make your body guide you and your survival instinct pushes you to the right direction.

If two people come to you with the intent to hurt you, perhaps the most sensible thing to do is run and not shrug your shoulders. But sometimes there is no choice and you have to defend yourself and the smart thing to do is to open your eyes, recognize the danger, look around and find a way to escape, maybe not fully unhurt from the attack, but alive to tell the tale.

Remember that no matter what kind of aggression, whether one person or several. In any case we will always receive some type of damage, because even covering yourself from a hit it will be done by our body.
