The Method
Keysi is a modern self defense system from Spain that excels in real chaos. It trains close quarters skills, 360 degree awareness, and rapid decision making. The hallmark Pensador guard shields the head while turning elbows and forearms into compact weapons, allowing you to protect and strike at the same time.
Built around instinct, structure, and pressure testing, Keysi adapts to single or multiple opponents and real environments. You may have seen it in films such as Batman and Jack Reacher, but its value is how it works when things get messy. At the training camp you will learn principles you can use immediately and, if you choose, follow a clear path toward instructor certification.
Instructional Leadership
This training camp will be overseen and run by Alan Baker, a globally recognized martial arts and self defense instructor with more than 45 years of experience across more than 20 systems. He has trained in the Keysi Fighting Method for 18 years and serves as the U.S. Director, overseeing the instructor training program.
His background includes Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Jeet Kune Do, Thai Boxing, Wing Chun and Shaolin systems, Filipino Kali, Indonesian Silat, and Combat Submission Wrestling and Catch Wrestling. Alan has trained Fortune 500 corporate security teams, law enforcement, and SWAT units in modern countermeasures, defensive tactics, firearms, and edged weapon programs.

If you have concerns, please let us know ahead of time so we can plan smart adjustments. We aim to provide a high quality learning experience for every participant and will make reasonable modifications when possible, unless doing so would fundamentally change the training or create a safety risk.
