I've been seeing a lot of stepping in with an elbow to disrupt an opponent's attack more and more in movies and television. It turns out that there is a trendy martial art called the Keysi Fighting Method, that has become all the rage since Batman Begins.

I like how he steps inside the right hook and lands the short elbow. I don't like how he follows up with all the other strikes afterward. I like the initial elbow and trapping the arm. Instead of all the follow up crap, I think he should just do something like this when the arm is trapped:
