Mainly British and Spanish based I think. A mis mash of JKD and other things. A friend of mine trained it and thought it was kind of ordinary. Worryingly they have this cult-like atmosphere going on where you must prove "loyalty" by buying all the gear and paying to go to all the seminars...... He said that you were definately frowned on if you didn't spend enough!
Not for me. -

Keysi Fighting Method
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keysi Fighting Method is a method of self development and personal growth that uses self defence as a vehicle. It was founded by Justo Diéguez (Spanish) and Andy Norman (English). These two martial artists met on the same path searching for the same goals.
Description
KFM makes use of multiple attacking ranges, with or without weapons. The KFM trademark is the thinking man (Pensador) and thinking man attack (pensataq), which makes use of a tight defensive shape to protect the most precious part of the body, the head, and literally smashes and opens up the opponent for the finish using all ranges of strikes - punches, hammer fists, kicks, knees, and the sharp elbows, all at high, middle and low lines on the opponent.
The shape of the thinking man or pensador represents the unification of the mind and body.
Keysi also translates to 'tornado' (Justo's nickname) and also 'from the heart' - when you see KFM's Justo and Andy in action its easy to see were the tornado name came from. It was featured in the movie Batman Begins after being introduced to the stunt coordinators by Jujitsu world champion Buster Reeves, who was Christian Bale's stunt double for the movie.
In the movie Mission Impossible III, Tom Cruise uses a few Keysi moves. There have been rumors that Cruise's fianceé, Katie Holmes, who co-starred in Batman, suggested the technique, but it was probably just coincidence.
