I'm an experienced fighter and the reason it's not in MMA right now is because this is a street fighting method. But certain things are used in mma such as people block punches like that all the time in the sport. They just don't keep their hands in that position.
It's actually all offensive and very aggressive. You eventually learn defense against armed foes, as well as using whatever you have available as a weapon. A pen or a cellphone for instance. KFM focus on teaching you how to fight according to your instincts. That's what all the talk about "Predator instinct" is. One of the first things I got to experience while training KFM, was two guys hammering me with focus pads for 10 seconds while I had my back to the wall. 5 1/2 years of karate = no help
absolutely...and I've been training in KFM for a year now and I'm still at the "white grade level" but I understand well beyond that...KFM doesn't have all the answers and doesn't claim to; but they have certainly got a good idea of how to train for the chaos and close quarter grappling that a street fight denigrates into
i did !! took a class of KFM but still!! !! it looks cool but i rather do mua thai and jiujitsu!! i would like to see a ufc fighter use this style to see what would happen!! :)
I see a subliminal message here: "learn to fight like batman watching our tapes" XD, kidding. Still a very good video. KFM is the only fighting system I know that combines the use of natural instincts with martial arts. There is no better way to teach someone self defense in a fast way, knowing that everyone born with those instincts, it is pretty easy to learn KFM even by just watching tapes and practicing without an instructor, I think.
Mix KFM with Kyokushin Karate and have that go up against an MMA Fighter. Pretty damn good match. (Having both fighters with the same amount of experience ofcourse.)
Sometimes winning isn't based upon skill level though, sometimes power is all that is needed. The black belt could be more skilled, but the yellow belt may have a greater potential to be skilled
I train with a guy that started off boxing, he does his KFM for a while then when he gets into it he falls back to his boxing, at which point it is pretty easy to pull him apart, good tho because it annoys the crap out of him and reminds him why hes doing KFM.. lol
@TsInferno Trust me they work! :) I tried a lot of martial arts but KFM is the best and since I began to do it I always came out clean and winner! And I just took the orange belt! Trust me...KFM WORKS!!!! :)
the way body mechanics work when your hand is on your head is exclusively for defense. Your bicep and shoulder muscles make it that way. Also, the back part of your arm isn't meant to rotate while your hand is on your head, YET keysi demos always show a fighter striking from this position, with their hands on their head and using that to elbow something. #$#$ keysi
tvrulesnation totally right, that position (hands on ther heads) is a perfect position for a submission, if you do that in front of a judo , jiujitsu or krav maga guy , you are dead, can't see how works in a real fight neither
I can't disagree and not provide an argument. lol If I could have thought of an argument I would have. Or even if I could have come up with a way of saying you were wrong without just "I disagree" I would have said it. lol Defeated me
hmm the counters are so unbelievable unreal who would attack like that? but mastering this style and using it at a masters level could seriously get the opponent very hurt; I mean watch bat man fight in the movies like in dark knight. He is fighting groups and groups of people. Not only is this fighting style good for fighting multiple people its good for one on one as well. Definately something im going to self learn.
I've personally trained with the Keysi pensador, and I have to say it's much better than even Krav in defense. I don't know what fake body mechanics ScopedOUT2 is talking about, but you can strike with elbows or fists or palm heels from the pensador block position. It takes about 1/50 of a second to make the transition and then whatever time it takes you to hit. Bottom-line, Keysi is incredibly effective and keeps you safe from 360 attacks as long as you know your surroundings.
Certain things from this art work but it is flawed for the simple fact that it used a method. It's somewhat limiting. I'm a pretty experienced fighter and some of the training moves are flawed due to opponents not having realistic reactions. I was watching a training video and some of the holds they were using would not work against a well rounded fighter because they are so vulnerable to takedowns.
@Orcazoccola -- who the fuck cares about belts? the only important thing is to learn how to hit damn hard, how to defend the enemy's strikes, how to grapple and fight on the ground, etc etc
