Id never thought Adam west had a style other than the Batisu.
My understanding was Burt Ward( Robin ) was a brown belt in Karate. Also he had a friendship with Bruce Lee.
I heard he trained in judo too
I think Jeff Speakman would have been an awesome Batman.
Yes, just like Scott Adkins.
The only kick that was used back in the 50s to 60s. its the push kick. It can be considered the only kicking technique that was comes from either street brawling, or pankration
Yeah, there were a LOT of push kicks in the show, you are absolutely correct.
Always happy to learn to other people’s opinion. It’s awesome
batman show and many other cartoons and shows with comicbooks origin was my introduction to this world jeff speakman and ed parker rule also we know ed parker taught Elvis and batman and shark repellent works great
The 1966 Batman TV show was a goofball, light-hearted action series. It was written by people who didn't follow the established source material for the Batman character. I find every Batman incarnation "after" the 1966 series to be more faithful to the character created by Bob Kane.
I think Adam West's Batman fighting style was pretty much old mid 20th century Hollywood stunt fighting with the cocked telegraph punches and people diving over tables and furniture.
You see the same style in classic westerns like, "Shane" in the bar room brawl.
I think even Captain Kirk knew more martial arts than Adam West Batman.
I'd say Savate would be useful for him. He wears boots, after all, and Savate kicks are thrown with kicks. And that's without the bit about Savate being a STREETFIGHTING martial art, with gyms that teach the old forms and not just the sports version including stuff like parkour and stick fighting.
Also, Batman is incredibly funny, especially with how serious he is... While others around him, especially Dick Grayson, Alfred, and Harley Quinn, aren't. His presence with those two masters of sarcasms and Gotham's ultimate comedian (because her jokes are much better than Joker's) make everything funnier, just ignore the guys who got angry at the hockeypads joke. I mean, even BATMAN makes jokes at times.
Indeed traditional boxe française would be a wise choice for he wearing combat boots, but it also includes a standing grappling part composed of throws and kick catching techniques.
You shoud do a martial arts style the animated series and batman beyond video
for kicks Savate/Boxe Française would be a good addition as it uses shoes/boots as weapons.
That's a fantastic observation! I wish I thought of that one. That would make sense for Batman for sure.
Regarding your comments on the newer Batman. I would say what you are explains sounds a lot like MCMAP. As a fan of the Batman story, a retired Marine (and a MCMAP Black Belt) I know there is no way this is possible, but it in an explanation of the art, it fits, minus the main prerequisite of course.
Marine Corps martial arts program. Very nice. So you’re like the Punisher
Wow. Some viewers on this channel need to give there heads a shake. Thanks for the funny sarcasm. It made my day.
Osu. Very interesting video Sifu Dan. I'd like to see you do more videos of Martial Arts superheroes/superheroines namely Spider-Man, Deadpool, Nightwing, Wolverine, Daredevil, Elektra, Iron Fist, Batgirl, Spawn, etc. Osu. 🥋👊🏼🐉🐅
Like many fighting style choreography batman
FYI, I Still maintain that Art Of One Dojo has left out the very first live action Batman, Lewis Wilson (and Robert Lowery) !!!
Some people would say that that's not a movie, but I interject by saying that serials were in fact the movies of their time!
And so with that.... I say that Art Of One Dojo must also analyze the very first live action Batman's fighting style...which in my assessment is mainly boxing based. And maybe a bit of wrestling and street fighting thrown in there.
I think at this point we're going to go with your assessment. I don't really have anything more to add to that one :)
I should also say that because of the lack of available training in other arts, the Batman of that era would've been ill prepared to do the vigilante work that he does and would've been killed or have his ass handed to him.
Because boxing and wrestling are not enough to survive street fights night after night.
Who doesn’t love a great Bat Man themed video! 🦇
I know I do! 👍
What’s next? Bat Girl?
Me and Dead Pool would Ninja 🥷 all over that Bat! 🦇💃😂
I always thought that all of your videos had been treated with respect to everybody. On another note I would like for you to start taking about other martial arts there is in the world. Thanks
Oh we definitely are, we have more coming :)
@@ArtofOneDojo thank you so much
Another fun and enjoyable video - thankyou.
As far as Adam West Batman you could also say maybe he had some stage combat training.
But I don't think he did. His stunt double does most of the actual "fighting".
@@ArtofOneDojo haah
Hey Mr Dan I got good question for you. If you were to travel back in time knowing what you know about martial arts and you had to tell your younger self what martial art to start studying what would you tell yourself? Would it still be kempo or do you think you would have been better off learning something else first?
What an excellent question! I think I would probably stay with the Kenpo, but I would give myself pointers and areas I should focus in from the start. Encourage myself to question and study the material at a deeper level versus just memorizing like I did when I was a teen. I would also encourage myself to get into grappling a lot sooner and cross train a little bit more. But I think in the end I would have definitely stuck with the Kenpo, I just would have guided myself better.
What a great job .. thanks
The 1966 Batman series was "campy" comedy. It's like asking what was Jim Carrey's fighting style in 'In Living Color'? 🤪
I dunno, I think West may be able to take ya with those sweet fencing skills! 😜
Nah, I'll just yell and grab the word bubble and throw it at him like a ninja star. If I keep out of his sword range I should be fine :P
Short answer to the Phoenix Jones question, no. If anything, he's more like a real world equivalent of Kick-Ass, but without the actual heroism, considering his inevitable downfall.
Longer answer, definitely not, although that hasn't stopped people from trying, even before Batman was first drawn.
However, it's highly unlikely we'll ever see anyone with the obscene amount of wealth necessary ever try to become a vigilante like Batman, if the way billionaires behave in the real world is any indication.
Another issue would be the problem of moral absolutism that tends to be present in escapist fiction like superhero stories that can't really apply to the real world.
Crimes are rarely as clear cut in terms of right and wrong, especially when you're seeing it, or THINK you're seeing it in progress. (Case in point, George Zimmerman.)
Honestly, as romantic as the notion of real life superheroes is, as inspiring those stories can be, it won't ever really be feasible to see it as a solution for crime and other societal problems.
This is something stories like Superman: Peace on Earth or All-Star Superman do a great job of exploring.
What about James bond what martial arts would he use judo
At the time, definitely Judo. I was considering looking at those films, though the early films...Connery, Moore...would be very basic like Judo and maybe a little Karate. The later movies with with Brosnan and Craig may have more to work with.
Daniel Craig's James Bond is trained in martial arts such as Boxing, Kali, Judo, Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, Systema and Jeet Kune Do.
His style is BAM-POW!😂
Can u pls do a video on what martial arts Dick Grayson/robin/Nightwing knows
Metodo keysi, igual que jack reachel
You could have taken all the Batmans especially Robert Pattinson's version.
I appreciate the vote of confidence, MAYBE if they were 40 years older and out of practice I'd have a chance :P
No other actor who play Batman ever kicked judo Gene Labelle’s ass at least
Twice a month like Adam West did. Adam West also punch Bruce Lee in the face with no penalty. Adam West was and is the most awesome Batman.
Id love 2 see you take on other notable martial artist comic book characters. I enjoy these type of content as I am a fan of maerial art history and cinema as well as comics. (and its nice 2 see a youtube commenter on martial art video doesnt sound like an over excited british weaboo....trust me watch any video on samurai from a "official documentary" you have some overly excited english person narrating it)
Now, based on skill alone, who would you cast as Batman and his sidekicks (for the sake of stunts anphysical performance)
I appreciate the comment!
Now, who would I cast? That's a tough one because a lot of people who were expected to suck as Batman did really well. I did see a viewer suggest Scott Adkins, and I think I'm going to have to agree with that, I think he's got the physicality, intensity, and even look to pull off a great Batman.
@@ArtofOneDojo haha...that was probably me....Ive been saying Scott should have been in the cowl since 2011...he even auditioned, which i thought was a decent audition tape.
@@darkservantofheaven Well it's still a damn good suggestion!
HA HA! YES!!! The O.G.! 🤣
Adam West Batman was a Streetfighter😂
LOL!!! @ the random and angry (un)subscriber crying about your Batman "joke" ...Keep up the good work!
The fact that you even had to insert the sarcastic-ish disclaimer is a sad statement on either the ego or stupidity of people today. Like putting "do not use while sleeping" warnings on hair blow dryers.
:: slowly unplugs hair dryer and takes it off the night table....
@@ArtofOneDojo 😅😆😂
"Batman's not real" ... may be the most inflammatory comment you've made so far. 😮 I know 3 yrs old me would be devastated.
Burt ward was Bruce Lee’s neighbor and received some lessons, not many
In one episode Barman&Robin fought the Green Hornet&Kato, that is Bruce Lee, and for the record Adam West, would defeat you 😀 Cheers
His STUNT double....maybe :P
Phoenix Jones the closest thing we have to a superhero??
Uh, no...the closest thing I've seen so far are the modern Zapatistas of Mexico, and several other rallying points of worthy causes, throughout history.
The ANSWER to the question at the end of this video of 'What would it take to be a real superhero, like Batman'.....
Well realistically it would have to involve developing spirit, mind, body. And in that order. The core, the heart of being a superhero is your intention...and it has to be a WORTHY intention. Your heart has to be in the right place. Its what defines a superhero.
And with that intention comes the formulation of your strategic objective. What is your SPECIFIC ultimate goal? (ie. eradicate hunger in a certain city, drastically cut down crime rates in your neighborhood, etc)
Once your spirit is in order and have worthy cause, you'd need to develop the mind or knowledge necessary to achieve that goal. Knowing what would be an effective plan of action, course of action, what tools you would need, what the problem really is, etc. This comes with years of study and collaboration with the right people who know certain things.
As for your body, you would then develop your body in a way that SERVES your strategic objectives, whichever way that is. But ONLY if the use of your mind (intellectual analysis) reveals that you even need to develop yourself into whatever kind of physical wonder usually associated with superheroes. Because remember, superheroing is NOT about being able to beat people up...that's only ONE means to an end...Its about accomplishing your strategic objective, nothing else.
In fact, after developing the spirit and mind, everything else (including the body development) just & MUST serves as a tool to support your strategic objective (ie. a costume to gain attention or inject a certain idea in people, gadgets, etc). Nothing should be arbitrary.
Even if you don't have a costume or gadgets, you'd still be a superhero of sorts if you have well developed the spirit & mind portion of this preparation...because like I said, the spirit portion is the heart/core of superheroing.
And all that is why Phoenix Jones is nowhere near being a true superhero. He has not structured his game plan like this. He just jumped right into the physical fray without analysing if his intentions are really that worthy. He had no strategic objective. He did not formulate an effective plan of action. His motivations were purely ego, appetite for fighting, self gratification.
Meanwhile, the fictional Batman HAS in fact done most of those things I mentioned above, especially the Nolan version. The end product of Bruce Wayne's preparation (ie. Batman) was a result of the realities at hand for him.
Because realistically speaking, without this proper hiearchal structure of preparation, you'd just be a jackass in a ridiculous costume.
I see the Adams Batman is more of a Chinese boxing and wing chung guy
ANSWER to the comment about PhoenixJones.....
He would NOT be the one who replicates Batman. Batman is a detective. Batman has honor. Batman had a plan in doing his mission. He had strategic objectives.
Phoenix had NONE of these things...and I don't think he ever can. Any MMA fighter can put on a bulletproof costume and harass people. That does not make you a superhero....real or fictional.
Nice background. Batman isn't real😢. Noooooo!!! Lol
Lol If you're criticizing this man about his thoughts on Batman. You need to get off the internet and reconsider your life.
Right???
Of course anyone can defeat Adam West, he unfortunately passed away😖 Albeit in his prime and for his time he was very athletic. Cheers
Boxing not kickboxing isnt a martial art.
Boxing not kickboxing? I'm not sure what you're saying. If you're saying Boxing isn't a martial art, I disagree and we even did a video on that exact topic.
