Has anyone else heard of this art? I've been doing a little research into it, so far the only instructors are located in Spain and the UK. However the founders are putting together a video for home instruction.

I think this could definately be very useful to LEO's.

Here's the official website for anyone interested, btw, the picture of Batman on the main page is due to the fact that they used KFM as Batmans fighting style in the new movie.

I think as soon as the video is finished and produced I will be getting a copy.

Took a real quick look. Didn't see anything that stood out to me. Would have been nice to see some info on their backgrounds - what they had studied that had helped them along their paths to "self-discovery" of their system (and giving credit/acknowledgement to their previous instructors/mentors)...

From my understanding of it, it's designed around extreme close quarter, multi-attacker fighting style. Which in my opinion could be very helpful in LE.

Samuel do you know of any other arts that are geared that way? In the past I've studied Amra Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do, and neither of those were designed that way. If there were any I'd love to know.

It would not surprise me at all if the instructors and/or founders had backgrounds in JKD/FMA and MMA (including "traditional" MA's). There are quite a few systems/schools/styles/instructors out there who believe in cross training, multiple ranges of combat, self-discovery/development, etc - many of the things that are listed on KFM's website.

I took a quick read into a few threads on their forums. Didn't impress me at all. Seems like they've got a bunch of kids talking nonsense in a lot of their threads.

And, as far as "extreme close quarter, multi-attacker fighting style" goes, I don't believe that they "specialize" or "concentrate" on those concepts. After all, they want to prepare you for Every range of combat and Any number of assailants (not just very close and groups of BGs)...

Krav Maga is a good one to look into, essentially its street-fighting based in martial arts, a lot of LE academies DT instruction use elements of Krav Maga

Seemed to me it is no different than most other mixed schools out there.
