Keysi Fighting Method (KFM)- As seen in the movies: Batman Begins, Batman the Dark Knight and Mission Impossible 3.
Keysi Fighting Method (KFM) is an art form dedicated towards the study and investigation of survival in the modern day urban environment. It was developed on the Gypsy streets of Spain in the late 1950's by Justo Dieguez (the founder), who along with Andy Norman (the cofounder) developed and refined it & bought it to the United States. It has become famous for it's ballistic and dynamic style and has been featured in the movies: Batman Begins, Batman The Dark Knight, and Mission Impossible 3.
KFM Lynbrook New York is the first KFM Academy in New York and one of the very few schools in the United States.
The Keysi Fighting Method (KFM) is not just Self defense training but a journey of self discovery and investigation. It is a dynamic approach to the world of Personal Defense concentrating both on the physical and emotional sides of combat. KFM takes a much closer look into the arena of self-truth then other Martial Arts and it quickly eradicates all myths and fantasies that surround the field of self protection.
KFM is not a copy of this or that, nor is it a theoretical explanation of many different martial arts. On the contrary it is a perfectly planned and defined unity of concepts and principles, fruit of long, rigorous and tested introspection. KFM is NOT a sport, traditional or classical martial art system but rather a pure urban fighting method. It is the consequense of real life events and experiences plus subsequent years of investigation and development.
What really separates KFM from other Martial Arts is the "Method" of learning used. KFM is NOT "technique" driven. KFM is driven by "Instinct". In a self defense situation you can have all the techniques in the world but if you don't have the proper instinct to drive them you have nothing. It's like a car without gasoline. KFM develops the students "Instinct", harnessing it, cultivating it and building it from the first day of their training on.
The KFM teaching method is also unique. Our Instructors follow and exactly planned progression and methology. They don't just come to class and teach what they feel like.
In each KFM class you are taught new material and then it is dynamically layered with stress so you are able to perform with that material under pressure. Each new class builds on the previous class. The classes form a block of material that we call Grades (like Belts in other Arts). Each Grade takes a certain amount of time to complete and like a pyramid they build on each other. After completing each Grade the students are tested. If they pass the test for their Grade they progress to the next Grade (if they don't pass, they retake the Grade until they know the material and pass the test). Note: We do not charge for testing or rank. Rank is earned not bought.
We also use the technology of today. As a resource, after a student comes to class and learns the material, they are then given the same material in the form of video's and class notes thru our website. Each student is set up with their own personal on-line library. The video's and class notes are downloadable to a students computer or Ipod, and this allows them to reference the material outside of class anytime and anywhere.
Our method is dynamicaly layered, progressively designed and precisely planned. It is designed to take the student from Week 1 of the White Grade to Week 168 of the 1st level Black Grade, in a manner were the nervous system can digest the information properly and the student develops progressively with real usable skill (Not a pile of techniques that a student can't use or link together under the stress of real combat).
Thru our "Method" we transform our students from a Prey mindset into a Predator mindset and the training itself is life altering. The levels, intensity and material get deeper and deeper as you progress into the Art and you find out more and more about yourself as you are pushed beyond what you thought were your limits. The confidence, discipline, awareness, inner strength developed thru training have the uncanny ability to cross over to other areas of your life. The training really does becomes life altering in a positive way.
The Keysi training Uniform is that which you wear in the street. We do not wear traditional Martial Arts belts or uniforms. Violence can happen at any time and in any place. Our students are trained in all types of clothing and footwear. We train both inside in the Academy and outside on the concrete and in all types of weather. (Note: One class a week we train outside, this is not a gimmck, it's part of our curriculum & what we do. Training outside on the cement has a completely different dynamic and feel then training in a nice cozy padded dojo, those who think otherwise are at a major disadvantage.)
The Keysi Grades of advancement are as follows: White, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown, Black (Black has 10 Grades). We do not charge for testing or rank. Rank is paid for with hard work, commitment and skill. Not money.
Students are promoted only after they finish the material for their Grade and they sucessfully pass the test for their Grade. Students who fail repeat their Grade again until they pass. By not charging for our testing, we can maintain extremely high standards for our students, which is in the best interest for everyone.
The KFM Curriculum encompasses the following seven ranges of combat :
1. Projectile weapons
2. Hand held weapons
3. Kicking range
4. Punching range
5. Trapping range
6. Standing grappling and takedowns
7. Ground fighting
Multiple Opponent training begins on your first day and progresses throughout your training!!
If your looking to have fun, get in great shape and learn life saving skills then KFM is for you.
