About
My training is deeply rooted in personal experience, born from a lifetime of encounters with violence and extensive research into how the body and mind respond under the stress of such situations. While my primary focus is on self-defense, I also have a strong commitment to martial arts. At USDS, our mission is to clarify the distinction between self-defense and martial arts, emphasizing that while both are valuable, they serve different purposes.
From a young age, I have had a profound love for martial arts. Over the years, through practice, study, and real-life experiences, I’ve come to understand the crucial differences between self-defense and martial arts. My passion lies in sharing this knowledge to help good people stay safe. I am dedicated to making our communities safer and empowering others to manage their fear and build confidence.

He did such an amazing job teaching my co-workers we decided to have him teach us monthly! Raymond showed such great detail and you can tell he really cares and has a passion for self-defense. He took extra time to make sure everyone had one on one time with him and that they understood the moves!

Very informative, very professional
The instruction received was right on point. I felt that the first class was a gateway to not only learning self defense but also educational! Thank you!

I can't express enough how fortunate I am to have a Keysi instructor as accomplished as Raymond Muhammad basically in my backyard. His love and passion for martial arts and particularly Keysi is apparent in every teaching moment you experience with him! If you are interested in Keysi and learning the right way do yourself justice and seek him out! I am confident that he will continue to grow as an instructor and I am excited about taking that journey with him!
