'Shaping mind and body'

KFM is the fighting style which is primarily used by Christian Bale in Batman Begins, and will also be featured in The Dark Knight.

Bale had this to say about the martial art:


We've gone a bit further with Keysi (...). I'm actually learning how to do it more realistically than ever before, though it's such an extreme way of fighting; there are literally moves where you tear someone's cheek away from their face, or rip their nose off - every part of you becomes a weapon. It's formidable. Batman doesn't kill, so we can't have him doing that; we modify it.

"We really wanted something that would look as though Bruce Wayne-as-Batman had created his own style of fighting, something that was unique in style and look," Christian Bale elaborates. "A big part of the Batman persona is the aggressive, animalistic way he attacks his enemies. I wanted to show how devastating he is when he charges forward and attacks people, and his resilience in taking blows as well."

"The Keysi Fighting Method is a very intuitive kind of martial art, but also very, very brutal," Bale relates. "It's all about going for the break straightaway. It's quite instinctive and it adapts to many different situations. So it truly looks as though this is Batman's own style that he's come up with."

"Christian is an excellent student," Forman attests. "We were very surprised at how quickly he absorbed the information when we gave him his first lesson."

@FreeeeS He'll touch it with his electric gloves and the guy gets french fried. If not, then the cape just pushes him away.

[elchacal31]

A lot of the movements in KFM are based in arts like Kali Panatukan right?

[FreeeeS]

@darkairaxandrew might've seen it already, but he puts a crazy amount of work into his roles, changing his entire body for the part.

@Eso1 Actually they don't.They will fight you on a street with any rules aside from weapons. they will even bring a camera. Go to bullshido(dot)net. Go to their forums, sign up go tot he throwdown section and request one. They'll send a fighter. If you want proof they do street fights, they actually beat a keysi-kung fu teacher who didn't believe in bullshido. So they challenged him to a no holds bar in a parking lot. he got beat up by a man 1/4 his weight.

@xIegionx Working cause they see it on UFC and right away join a Muay Thai BJJ MMA school? and say it's the only thing that works?, yea ill put they're asses in a stretcher either with broken knee caps or elbows from strikes with my ebony kali stick, or leave they're eyed gouged and muscles destroyed through panankutan. Wait, they need cage rules though right? So i wouldn't be able to use what works??

[xIegionx]

@Eso1 They don't just do Bjj, they do MT and other WORKING martial arts.

Btw, Bullshido actually challenges people to put their ass with their mouth is. Either in a ring, a cage or in a parking lot.
