This site is about education, not entertainment.
Keato.info is dedicated to the study of real-world violence, martial arts, self defence and lawful use of force.
The aim is to bridge the gap between theory, training, and the reality of conflict, whether in policing, security, or civilian self-defence.
This site documents and analyses actual incidents of force to identify what truly works under stress, what fails, and why. It draws from policing, martial arts, and behavioural science.
Purpose
- Improve officer and civilian survival and safety through realistic understanding of violence
- Promote ethical, legally defensible use of force
- Help trainers and practitioners separate effective skills from fantasy
- Encourage critical thinking
About the author
I’m a serving police officer and weapons/DEFTAC instructor in one of the world’s largest law enforcement agencies.
Outside of policing, I hold a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, having competed at state level and taught for several years. I also hold a black belt in Taekwondo, and have trained in boxing, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts.
Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia and an Associate Degree in Policing.
At the moment, I am no able to identify myself or my employer, as we have an internal policy not to publicly identify ourselves and express opinions about the job and organisation.
