Tom uses the “Pensador” technique to defeat his adversary. In this article, we will talk about the fighting techniques that used in Batman- The Dark Knight Rises. It is considered from the best and most popular films in the whole world, which includes the Keysi Fighting Method, but it has few other elements mixed in as well, the method is very appropriate to Batman’s suit and size, but we saw in the final fight scene many things outside the KFM system such as boxing, I think it was a shame given to the public, it would be ideal and very cool in the film end if Batman uses Keysi Fighting Method to defeat the gang attack. Batman-The Dark Knight Rises is very popular as result of the movie remains to the story and it is a great one. The Keysi’s elements are seen clearly in the film despite the great number of fighting scenes, such as thigh punches to the pensador, but KFM as it is often outside the power punching system.
