I'm not a fan of what the show turned into, but one of my favorite parts of Arrow was that it showed Oliver Queen constantly working out and training, as he would need to in order to maintain his athleticism and skills.
ye he got dig to train with. However, in batman mythos atleast from year one we know that batman does train however his live combat training is mostly in real life situations.
I've been training in fitness and martial arts for over thirty years. This program looks really great! But I would strongly encourage those who do this to give equal attention to their nutrition and recovery. Awesome Vid!!
7:00 Batman does receive a lot of training continually fighting people on the streets as well as more skilled villains, but there is also the possibility he uses simulations which was alluded to when Bamtan tested Azrael in _Batman: Arkham Knight_ using a simulation
Well, not even that really. A lot of what we've seen of Batman in modern times focuses heavily on the fighting and gadgetry aspect of the character when it should be focused on the detective and ninja aspect. Most of Batman's foes aren't skilled fighters, not even the super villains. The vast majority are normie's with guns or knives. Movies like to exaggerate and make every thug he fights a martial arts expert when the reality in the comics is that most of the time he's up against mook's and not highly skilled fighters. Batman focus is on solving crimes and apprehending criminals in a more expeditious and thorough manner than the police. Fighting is always a last resort for him. Boxing or Muay Thai would be more than enough to handle 99% of encounters in the real world because the bulk of your fighting will be done from an advantageous stealth position. Batman doesn't engage foes directly if he doesn't absolutely have to. Most of the time he's deploying distractions, incapacitating chokes, or tying and gagging people before they can react. You don't need to fight a world expert in Sambo if you stealth tase him before the fight even starts and then zip tie his arms and legs while he's seized up, or, if you have the money and access, you can just load up a tranq dart with some horse tranquilizers and KO someone in a second.
@@charleshill1906 Finally someone understands, always thought that the knowing 2000000 martial arts comics thing was always bullshit to me. In real life Muay Thai and Boxe for the strikes combined with judo and ju jitsu for grappling is more than enough. Even the greatest fighters would not fight differently. And you also have a body armour (the bat suit) which can take and dampen most of punches and kicks from enemies. The only thing he really needs to do to be effective in combat is being fast, speed in combat is the key to victory. Also being really athletic to evade and move around the ground
@@capedshinobi I mean when there is people like lady shiva and death stroke frequently getting into the crimes batman is investigating the extra training is worth it, if batman only knew 4 styles he would just get 1-shot from those two lmao.
Things I would add: 1. Ensure you train all moves left and right handed. So that switching you feet when approached from behind becomes unnecessary. 2. Figure out and train whichever moves work best from a square frontal and a square rear position, as occasionally when surrounded you may need to generate stopping power from these positions.
On point 1, there's also another important part: training on one side too much can be problematic for your physique as for some people, especially younger ones, that may mean uneven muscle growth which may even lead to minor deformities. Now, it rarely if at all happens with H2H martial artists, but if you look at, say, people practising Olympic fencing, some of them end up having problems, mostly when they train with great intensity, but not so great supervision. I used to train European cane very, very casually, but could still feel this issue.
Nice video, very well put together. A few thoughts on what Batman fighting philosophy would look like: 1) A high tech batsuit would be an absolute must. No matter how good you are, you are going to get hit, and against a group of thugs, getting a lucky crack at the jaw and getting dropped is a death sentence. No need to tank bullets like in the movies, but the suit needs to function like a highly flexible and resistant exoeskeleton. 2) Batman in action would be more like military CQC than kickboxing or MMA and would have a heavy focus on controlling and disarming weapons. Realistically, getting into a pure fist fight would be a rare ocurrence, as criminals will always carry at least a knife. He would more likely fight like Solid Snake rather than Bruce Lee. 3) Direct confrontation is the last resort. Batman would probably set traps with his gadgets and take his opponents out one by one. I don't see Batman dropping into a bank to stop a robbery mid heist, but either taking out the criminals befote it happened or following them to their safe house 4) Batman would have an extremely high level of fighting IQ, meaning that he wouldn't trade blows, but use his environment and gadgets before landing a disabling strike 5) As much as he would be well versed in submission holds, against a group of opponents, staying mobile is paramount 6) Batman would be a master of meditation and yogic practices. Even at the heat of combat, he'd need to stay eerily calm 7) Batman needs to send a message. He might not kill, but criminals would get scared shitless if their buddies sudde ly start going dark and end up appearing 3 days later at a hospital with 37 broken bones and a speech impediment. His fighting style needs to be surgical and ruthless.
Yup you got it. I was just thinking that Batman will rely heavily on gadgets/weaponry. He'll try his best to avoid physical confrontation and figure out a way to attack his opponents without physical fighting them. Honestly his martial arts skills will be the last thing he'll rely on. Most likely his environmental intelligence will be used more like military men.
"fight like Solid Snake rather than Bruce Lee" You seem to forget Snake using a spinning hook kick to disarm a guy with a rifle and the entire Ocelot fighting game sequence in MGS4
Batman has been shown to still train with Ted Grant and several other heroes (black canary, green arrow, even Superman), as well as all his partners, Robinand Nightwing and Red Hood, so he has plenty of sparring partners to keep his skills sharp, without his secret identity being at risk
That speed training looks really nice. Also it's always so satisfying to watch Grant execute his technique, it's so flawless and the sparring footage makes me realize you can actually achieve that technical level, even into fighting
Batman: Combat Training Guide Captain America: Combat Training Guide Deathstroke: Combat Training Guide I would be interested in any and all of these and more.
Batman spars and practices with several league and non-league members. This practice extends to learning new/better ways to fight. Films are somewhat dumbed down for general masses and as such can gloss over details like this.
So in the Year 1 Batman comic it says his training was mostly in "Buddhist martial arts" in Korea, which really exist but don't really have a name. They also aren't really accessible unless you wanna go become a monk in Korea. You can train Tukong Moosul though, which is based on those martial arts. A dude who lived and trained in the temple from 5 to 19 and also trained some Shaolin Kung Fu was asked to design a better martial art for the Korean Special Forces while he was in the military and Tukong Moosul was the result. It's used by both the normal military and the reserves now
Maybe at first. But he later takes all skills he can from all martial arts. I've been reading Cassandra Cain comics (the second (or third depending on how you count) Batgirl) and in it Bruce just gives her a training program where he himself describes and demonstrates techniques of hundreds of martial arts styles.
I do Taekwondo and I can honestly say that a spinning hook kick, if done properly, is very hard to pull off. Also, a note on the majority of these kicks: there is a movement called a chamber where your knee starts bent and releases into the kick. If timed properly, correct technique of the chamber and technique of the kick can result in very powerful strikes. For example, in the front kick, you bring your knee up in front of you(chamber) and then kick. After you kick, you re-chamber to keep control of your leg. Also, the roundhouse kick has a chamber. If you want the best effectiveness, get in your stance, bring your knee forward directly in front of you and not on the side. Then, pivot in the ball of your foot at the same time when you turn your hips over and kick. Then, re-chamber. On the side kick, chamber your knee sideways(parallel with the ground), and make sure it’s close to your chest. Then when you kick, push out with the heel and re-chamber. Skip in side looked okay except for what I previously said about the side. My only tip would be to make sure your legs don’t cross when you skip in. Not saying you did, just a tip. On the back kick, you want to not turn so far. For more speed, chamber directly under you and kick straight back. The way to make sure you are aiming right is that you should be turning your head and seeing the target over your shoulder. Combine those and you should be doing a faster back kick with your back almost straight to the opponent. Spin hook kick: chamber similar to a back kick, slightly more out to the side, and when you kick your leg out make it similar to a side kick at the face. When you kick, lock your leg out, and then it will bend and swing around. Essentially re chambering and preparing for the next kick. Tornado kick: hate to break it to you, but these are very easy to see coming and to dodge. A very similar kick is called a nadhabahn? Sorry I can’t spell it properly. Maybe try researching it because it is almost entirely touching the ground so if an opponent moves, you can still turn and be ready for a different kick. Also, if done properly, it can be disguised as other kicks. As someone who does Taekwondo and reads people, I can say that the tornado kick can be seen from a mile away. The tornado side kick is basically pointless and the jump back kick I have some tips. Try to do the back kick under you and when you jump, don’t try to get the kick as high as your head. Unless your opponent is very tall, you can jump and do the kick downwards while still hitting them in the face or top of the chest. That was just my two cents about some of the kicks. Like I said earlier, I do Taekwondo and know these kicks. I’m not saying you are wrong, maybe just taught differently. Not trying to diss anything in the video, just trying to give some tips for proper form and higher effectiveness. Please don’t be offended, I’m trying to help people. Great video though.
I loved seeing the name of the technique, then a real life demo, and then my imagination overlays Batman doing the technique and I say to myself, "Yup, that's a Batman move. Yup, that's a Batman move. Yup, that's a Batman move... " Great video!!
THIS makes for a great start to a new year! Thank you for all of the hard work and meticulous planning and attention to detail on this video! Great to see you back!
Dude the intro was awesome I could watch it over and over again it was also a little funny when Ben Affleck looked at his computer and saw the bioneer’s post on home workout for performance this was extremely cool and creative. I would like to see another Batman workout video for 2022 that would be cool too! Anyways Nice Job! Love your channel!
That's actually really cool. I don't plan on joining the military but Batman and the Punisher definitely motivate me to better myself mentally and physically everyday, something I'm sure the military required for you to do.
I feel very fortunate that the technique section intersects heavily with how I’ve been trained. The only things I would add is working on transitions between sticking and grappling as those are different movement and interaction patters and mixing them is a separate skill, and more emphasis on kicks to the lower body (leg sweeps, groin strikes, kicks to joints). I find those to be very powerful tools for breaking an opponent’s posture when you don’t have the luxury or judo-style grip play
Started training the techniques today (hand techniques primarily) I'm very happy with the results so far. Particularly impressed with the rolling tornado hook. Covers a lot of distance very quickly and deliveres a lot of power. (Also feels super awesome to do)
Love Batman comics love this kind of training your body is the Gym! Never been in a gym in 15 years just training old school in garage still ripped af in my 50s where THERE'S a will there will always be a way!!!
Wow, I love this! I've been meaning to jump back into Martial Arts, but keep pushing it off or just doing basic techniques on my punching bag and shadow boxing. Having an actual plan that implements cardio *and* training makes this infinitely easier. Time to mix this with my strength training and make my routines solid!
Incredible editing job & solid info! 💪 Watching this makes me wish I never gave up boxing & Tae Kwan Do years ago, but will be shaking off the “rust” by using the heavy bag in my home gym more often! 🥊
@@grantstevensma I had some trouble with the link to the Batman Combat Training Guide it couldn't download in PDF Format and it was nothing JPG format I'll need your help to solve the problem and fast
If you're new to this, there's really no point practising techniques with a friend without being supervised and corrected by a professional. You'll just learn bad technique: even doing stuff like shadow boxing by yourself will mess up your footwork, and it'll be harder to correct later. Find an MMA gym and go three or four times a week to get started, is the simple answer. If that's not possible, try to train one or both of BJJ or Muay Thai and integrate with the other later when an MMA gym is more accessible (wrestling, boxing, judo also useful, avoid Taekwondo, Aikido, and most forms of karate, with the exception of Kudo and perhaps Kyukoshin). If you can't get proper instruction/supervised sparring, I'd really recommend a focus on conditioning for now. Or, maybe get some of the introductory instructionals off BJJ Fanatics/Gracie University. If you and a friend have some mats in a garage and are both committed to really studying the video instructionals from e.g. John Danaher you might legit be able to get somewhere.
I started learning how to fight by practicing/drilling technique and then applying it in sparring with a group of my friends. They are all different sizes and levels of athletic ability so it gave me some good experience and made me a lot more comfortable/confident engaging in physical confrontation. When I started training with actual MMA guys and Kickboxers I was able to hold my own a lot more than most of them were able to when they were starting out. I would recommend that if you're interested in doing things this way you need to be extremely self aware/critical of your own performance and honest with yourself about what your capabilites are. Problem is a lot of people think they are objectively analyzing their own abilities when in reality they are not.
U don't have to have pitch perfect technique to be effective, the best technician are not always the best fighters...and a tech u have down in regards to timing abd delivery will be effective even if it's not super clean
Good answer 👍🏼. I would highly recommend conditioning if no gym is available. It's difficult to find a gym let alone a good one. I definitely ingrained mistakes in my form during the pandemic and must relearn once I rejoined mine. Only thing I would be avoiding the other martial arts. If you already have them, you would have to adjust those skills to MMA in order to see what works and what doesn't. Example is like point taekwondo is awful mma but if you're able to find the old school taekwondo (which probably doesn't exist in america), that would be so much more helpful.
About the sparring aspect of the training. In a canceled cartoon called "Beware the Batman", Bruce would actually spar with Alfred, who was younger than all the other depictions of him.
I started my martial arts career back in 1978. I'm a 9 degree Grandmaster in my base system and have also created my own eclectic mix martial arts system from all the things I've learned over the years. I am telling you my background, so you can know that I genuinely mean it when I say that what you have put together here, is absolutely fantastic. Bravo. Well done😊
One of your best videos for sure! Vengeance… I would like to make a suggestion video. Talk about HEIHACHI Mishima, a Tekken inspiration. How can an 75years old martial artist be in this age a physical specimen and not collapsing! It would be an interesting topic to search for Bioneer!
I think what makes Grant truly honest and transparent that he is only talking about stuff that he actually knows. How many other youtubers do the same?
Keysi fighting method was combat system used in dark knight trilogy. The founders had split and one Andy Norman went off to found defence fight lab I recall.
I was thinking this is major clickbait for video game needs until you mentioned the importance of having a decent sparring partner, not an egomaniac trying to take your head off. You are now legit, in my eyes
Mark my words… There is a kid out there somewhere watching these videos who will one day become a multi millionaire or even billionaire and set out to become the real Batman lol I hope I’m alive to see it
I would absolutely love to see a dedicated video on engaging multiple combatants at once. I realize it’s a no-win situation, but I’ve seen a limited number of pieces of advice online - notably ‘circling’, a technique I read about on an Art of Manliness article
Have a look at mmashredded Jeff chan's video where he spars two of his untrained friends. Very interesting to see how even a trained professional struggles against 2 people
If you have size power and are fighting two to three untrained people...and you have been doing a highly mobile striking style like boxing or dutch kickboxing would be your best bet. Possibly Muay Thai style clinching as well. There are plenty of people out there that hit hard enough to put down three wannabe thugs simultaneously.
And actually coming back i just realize... adding gadgets sap gloves or escirma sticks could turn those two to three people in to 4-5 people fairly quickly. So it isn't out of the realm or reality
There are two techniques for fighting multiple combatants. first one is speed. second is to line them up then you keep moving to keep the second guy behind the first guy at all times, the second guy's fight is to get out from behind the first guy while the entire time you are throwing jab's at the first guy until you incapacitate him by knock out or broken nose. both technique's require plenty of practice to preform effectively. These are your most realistic approach's.
It's a question of tactics. You are outgunned, so you have to position yourself so that you can apply maximum "firepower" while your enemies can use as little of their "firepower" as possible. Stan Lee basically gave Spiderman the ultimate power set for fighting groups: he is highly mobile, immensely strong, he can restrict the movement of his enemies and there's a minimal benefit to surrounding or surprising him because of his spider sense. Batman is an exceptional martial artist but he's also a tactical genius.
Great video as usual mate! A few tips for beginners who never partook any combat sports: 1) Have appropriate gear. When Adam mentioned MMA gloves, you should be looking for the mma gloves that look similar to boxing gloves with open hands, not the ones on fight night. Using the ones with more padding on the knuckles, you'll be able to throw more strikes with your partner without injuring them compared to fight night gloves. Also have shin guards and elbow pads as shins hurt like a mofo for both sides if you haven't conditioned and elbows can easily cut your partner. 2. Body strike conditioning. When your partner throws punches to your abs, have it be moderate power YOU can handle. Your partner can throw moderate power but if you can't handle it after a few shots, the rest of the workout will go to waste. Build up the tolerance before going hard. 3. Strong communication. Adam stated this a few times, so emphasizing it again. You can injury yourself and your partner easily if you don't set the speed, intensity, and combos. 4. Spar as much as possible. Doing the combos won't mean much if you can't land them. 5. Understand the foundation of strikes and grappling principles. The training montages display nogi bjj, wrestling, and strikes from a wide variety of combat sports. Example would be the difference of the Bob and weave in western boxing and muay thai. You can exaggerate the weave in western boxing whereas that exaggeration is inviting a knee to the face. Hope this helps fellow Bat family recruits!
Also, the SOE had a way to practice multiple oponent... Basically put multiple targets, and practice switching between them... Example... Put 3 bags in a perfect triangle... Stand in the middle, hit them and go from one to the other, avoiding being hit in the back by the bag you just hit...
@@stealthslide2723 in world war 2, electric bugaloo, the british decided to mimic the asymetrical warfare used by rebel irish forces but with the money the state can give that a rebel faction cant get... The result was that they took basically anyone with the guts to be a spy or soldier and trained them to be basically modern ninjas... You can buy the manuals because most of it is not classified anymore... They had secret weapons, including special silent firearms that were so wuiet they got tested by shooting from a rooftop to a river over a crowd of civilians without them noticing there was a shot... However, those guns were pretty bad for extended use, were more of a "use once and throw away" kinda thing... They had extensive training in breaking and entering, espionage, counterintelligence, sabotage, secret comunications and scouting... And their hand to hand system was designed by a british cop who worked in china beating the shit out of criminals... His style was a mix of kung fu and judo.... Some notable stories about the soe are the next: 1) they stopped h¡Tler from building the nuke by blowing up the place where the naz¡S were working on it 2)a small woman trained by them helped lots of prisoners escape the naz¡S and after being captured she managed to convinxe them that she wasnt danngeroud... Then managed to sctuslly kill a naz¡ Soldier with her bare hands, even tho she was a small woman... If someone made a movie abiut her people would think sll.of.it is fake 3) they did so many assassinations and sabotage missions that the axis provably would have won if it wasnt for how much they disrupted their operations with things so small as blowing up bridges, cutting powerlines and blocking roads...
I think Japanese Jiu-jitsu combined with some strong boxing/kickboxing covers a lot of bases for Batman. The Dark Knight doesn't kill but he isn't shy about breaking limbs or destroying joints. Brutal punching power leading into a throw leveraged off of an arm or wristlock (not allowed in judo) is an efficient way to reduce enemy numbers while remaining standing. Jiu-jitsu has a long history with police work and subduing violent criminals and I think it would be a cornerstone of Batman's martial arts skillset.
This video was so freaking awesome! Those are some really nice conditioning drills and as always Grant shows his amazing speed and technique Thank you! 🙏
Been a martial arts and self defense instructor for 30 years and, you sir, have done a very good analysis of this. Well done!!! The only thing I’ve always been concerned with is BJJ in a situation like this. While BJJ IS effective, it’s risky against multiple or armed opponents.
@@memysurname7521 I mean before the UFC people used to not respect the effectiveness of BJJ at all that is to say not even in 1 on 1 situations me and this other guy both acknowledged BJJ's effectiveness in 1 v 1 situations and yes the UFC has shown that BJJ is effective in the purest form on 1 on 1 combat and I've seen BJJ work on up to 3 people at once and I think BJJ can be effective against 1 knife welder but in a batman situation I'm not sure engaging in a prolonged grown exchange with 5 people at once or even 3 people who have knives is a good idea this is someone who has training in BJJ and has competed in BJJ competitions
@@memysurname7521 well lucky for me I am neither. Having trained in Filipino Kali for many years, I again say that, while effective, BJJ is ill-advised against someone who could be a trained knife fighter. I can say, humbly and respectively, that I have proven that fact to some pretty talented BJJ practitioners. Also, I am pretty sure that the BJJ practitioners I meet don’t commonly wear armor like Batman to help defend themselves against this.
@@CoolGeekDefence The thing is, you don't talk about revolvers when the job is a job for a rifle or a tank. The whole "BJJ no good to fight against 13 guys with guns" it's just a stupid thing to say. That's all I am saying. And is something that fools, delusional weaboos, and con men, normally say on top of that.
It was kinda cool seeing how many techniques you nailed from the series into one video. I was like "Welp, that's everything short of flying w/ the grappling hook!" Outstanding work.
Batman uses galaxy brain shadow boxing. He's smart enough to correctly and logically imagine opponents in his mind to test himself. I mean, that's always been my own personal head cannon. He's smart enough have contingency plans for nearly every scenario. I think he has the mental fortitude to spar in his mind and still have real world results. Like baki. 👍 but not as dramatic as to get thrown around by his own mind. Lol.
Lot of crossover with the conditioning. Exception being less high kicking more boxing/dirty boxing and some Escrima if you want to get more exotic on the comic book take.
Dope video, very well done. As far as Batman sparring goes, I feel like beating up petty untrained criminals is light work for Batman and would qualify as sparring for someone who mastered over 100 martial arts. And he does that almost every night. As a judoka I learned that while yes daily practice is the most practical way to learn and gain experience, you can also gain a lot of experience from participating in tournaments and competitions which is the closest and safest way to simulate a real fight. Substituting sparring for real street brawls is probably the reason Batman’s martial arts skills are so vicious.
To be fair, in the comics Bruce can spare anytime he wants with the likes of Nightwing, the various Robins, Cassandra Cain, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Wildcat, Bronze Tiger, Richard Dragon or any other highly trained fighter he's accustomed with in the hero community.
He’s talking about Bruce’s beginnings in training. It was just him solo and he needed to have some sort of randori where he committed to live defense against multiple attackers on the regular to become who he is. Sparring with Wonder Woman lol! There goes that myth again. 🤣😂
Yea, I never bought the whole 125 martial arts mastery suggestion--I always felt that wasnt realistic. To me, he probably would have been exposed to 15-20 real martial arts and fighting styles. He would have, again realistically, truly mastered 5-7. That along with his gymnastic training, strength training and his detective prowess, would make him a formidable adversary for almost anyone.
Your assessment is more realistic. A lot of martial arts styles are derivative of one another and are virtually identical. For example, Judo is the basis for Jujitsu, the emphasis is just more on ground grappling in Jujitsu than in Judo, but they all have the same moves. Same thing for Muay Thai and Lethwei. Lethwei is the predecessor of Muay Thai which incorporates head strikes where as Muay Thai does not. The 125 mastery is just comic book nonsense. In reality he would have taken a handful, developed his own style, and just perfected that style while he did casual research on other martial arts to stay ahead of certain things. Much like Bruce Lee did. Just being good at boxing will win you most street fights. Add in some grappling defense and you can pretty much trounce anyone who isn't discreetly a professional fighter in a 1 on 1 street fight.
Well . . to make it more realistic, the author makes Batman a genius. Bruce Lee learned every martial art available to public at the age of 23 years old. The same in any martial art you master, you use only a handful technique that you like. You like that technique because you prefer it, because you think it's most useful, because you have higher success using those technique, because you can execute it flawlessly, because . . . 😁 Off course, because you know every technique from the martial art you master, you can dig deeper and use it, when you meet an opponent that hard to defeat. So . . master ing a technique is just a matter of memories it and able to implement it. Batman is a genius , so . .
@@jacobkeary6740 yes and no. MMA as the sport only focuses on essentially a handful of different styles and you rarely see any deviation from those styles. Jujitsu, Muay Thai, TKD, Karate, Boxing, Wrestling and Kickboxing. You're not seeing a whole lot of variety here where someone with a background in Glima (Viking wrestling) is competing in the main stream. So to say that there are only "5 useful martial arts" from an MMA perspective is just wrong. Point fighting and street fighting aren't comparable. In most MMA fights if the gloves were off, the results would be dramatically different making those styles they are using actually deliberately less effective than they otherwise would be in a life and death situation. In that same vein though, you're not going to be able to test out the effectiveness of a style without forcing a regular engagement in conflict. Aikido for instance has no practical combat ability because no dojo ever trains students to do anything other than controlled kata's. I'm sure if they did 50 years worth of combat oriented training they'd show more worth for the style as they trimmed the fat. In general I agree with you though.
Excellent video that massively boosted my levels of inspiration and motivation, thank you. Might I add, that logically, the main source of Batman`s weapon training would be Ninjutsu and Fillipino Martial arts, like Escrima and Kali. He also probably received some high level traditional weapon training from his Karate/Kung fu/Tae kwon do background as well, but the main source would be Ninjutsu and Fillipino, due to them being Martial Art disciplines that contain a lot of weapon use. He could have also received some Kenjutsu/Kendo and Iaijutsu/Iaido training as well, since he has been seen using a Katana sword many times, but that could also be from his Ninjutsu training. But again, with Ninjutsu and Fillipino Martial Arts alone, he probably covered all the weapon training he could probably need.
I know we're talking fictional fights here but anything that involves a spin is usually a gimmick and a waste of energy. Also he doesn't need to spar, he's out fighting people constantly. That real world experience is worth any amount of sparring.
The windup in every one of those moves left him so overexposed than an equally skilled fighter could just shuffle forward and push him over mid windup. Not to mention that even in the sparring session his opponent easily blocks a kick. Any kick above the waist is a total waste of effort and in a street fight, trying to throw a roundhouse or one of those spinning kicks is going to get your shit pushed in. Just use a Muay Thai low round kick to the knee after a distracting jab or short combo and watch anyone you have to fight crumble as you shatter their knee or at the very least, trip them.
@@charleshill1906 I think high kicks can be brutal if you can do them fast but only if you're 1 on 1. Otherwise not worth the bother. Side kick, front kick and low kick are the only ones I would ever consider and that's only in a 1 vs 1 on stable footing. I'd avoid kicks completely if you had to fight off more than one person because you seriously don't want to risk ending up on the floor.
There’s a major problem with this video. I really like your channel and the thought you put into your videos, but this one has a major flaw. You never want to kick high in any real combat encounter. High kicks are for show and for fights with referees that will step in and save you from being pounded to death on the ground after you fall over. You want to use your legs primarily to attack your attackers legs to immobilize them. So Thai kicks, shin and foot stomps, things of that nature actually apply to real combat. They are very difficult to see coming and very difficult to evade, for the average street fighter/criminal. If the purpose of the video were strictly for teaching people to look cool in the gym, that’s one thing. But my concern here is that some will take this training seriously and think they have a great self-defense program here. They do not.
This video isn’t designed to be practical. This is a video to teach people how to fight like Batman. And, it just so happens that Batman uses a lot of high kicks both in the comics and video games (not in the movies oddly enough). This video isn’t meant to be practical.
High kicks are perfectly valid in a street fight if your falling over its because your not properly balanced which is a technique issue not an issue with kicks all of which come with a high risk the old saying for kicks is twice the power half the defence and this applies to all kicks because anytime one foots off the ground your way easier to knock over, as long as your not being reckless then you will likely be fine.
Very nice analysis, however the most important in Batman's training is his mindset, without this any average person can achieve the techniques but not how to used them correctly. That's why Batman is the most amazing character ever created, he represents literally the maximum potential of a human being.
So this video was excellent, but my question is where do we put in the time to train like Batman? Yes ik this is combat training but what about the fitness aspect as in the CrossFit type training Batman does.
Typically I train movement and martial arts in the morning and then strength training in the afternoon to evening. The bioneer has a Batman begins workout and other Batman workouts to go with it. I would say start off slow and strength train only 3 days until you’re conditioning increases
Time to jump in a crowd and hit them Arkham City Kombos!

ye he got dig to train with. However, in batman mythos atleast from year one we know that batman does train however his live combat training is mostly in real life situations.
I've been training in fitness and martial arts for over thirty years. This program looks really great! But I would strongly encourage those who do this to give equal attention to their nutrition and recovery. Awesome Vid!!
Agreed.
Very true!
True dat
Was thinking the same thing. Eat, Batman, Eat.
Exactly. Bruce is a billionaire with the best nutrition programme
7:00 Batman does receive a lot of training continually fighting people on the streets as well as more skilled villains, but there is also the possibility he uses simulations which was alluded to when Bamtan tested Azrael in _Batman: Arkham Knight_ using a simulation
Well, not even that really. A lot of what we've seen of Batman in modern times focuses heavily on the fighting and gadgetry aspect of the character when it should be focused on the detective and ninja aspect. Most of Batman's foes aren't skilled fighters, not even the super villains. The vast majority are normie's with guns or knives. Movies like to exaggerate and make every thug he fights a martial arts expert when the reality in the comics is that most of the time he's up against mook's and not highly skilled fighters.
Batman focus is on solving crimes and apprehending criminals in a more expeditious and thorough manner than the police. Fighting is always a last resort for him. Boxing or Muay Thai would be more than enough to handle 99% of encounters in the real world because the bulk of your fighting will be done from an advantageous stealth position. Batman doesn't engage foes directly if he doesn't absolutely have to. Most of the time he's deploying distractions, incapacitating chokes, or tying and gagging people before they can react. You don't need to fight a world expert in Sambo if you stealth tase him before the fight even starts and then zip tie his arms and legs while he's seized up, or, if you have the money and access, you can just load up a tranq dart with some horse tranquilizers and KO someone in a second.
This is why he trained Dick Grayson
Respect to that one last goon on Batman : Assault On Arkham
He did it, he stood toe to toe with Batman
For some 20 seconds
@@charleshill1906 Finally someone understands, always thought that the knowing 2000000 martial arts comics thing was always bullshit to me. In real life Muay Thai and Boxe for the strikes combined with judo and ju jitsu for grappling is more than enough. Even the greatest fighters would not fight differently. And you also have a body armour (the bat suit) which can take and dampen most of punches and kicks from enemies. The only thing he really needs to do to be effective in combat is being fast, speed in combat is the key to victory. Also being really athletic to evade and move around the ground
@@capedshinobi I mean when there is people like lady shiva and death stroke frequently getting into the crimes batman is investigating the extra training is worth it, if batman only knew 4 styles he would just get 1-shot from those two lmao.

Things I would add:
1. Ensure you train all moves left and right handed. So that switching you feet when approached from behind becomes unnecessary.
2. Figure out and train whichever moves work best from a square frontal and a square rear position, as occasionally when surrounded you may need to generate stopping power from these positions.
On point 1, there's also another important part: training on one side too much can be problematic for your physique as for some people, especially younger ones, that may mean uneven muscle growth which may even lead to minor deformities. Now, it rarely if at all happens with H2H martial artists, but if you look at, say, people practising Olympic fencing, some of them end up having problems, mostly when they train with great intensity, but not so great supervision.
I used to train European cane very, very casually, but could still feel this issue.
So basically the boxing training should be in a switch hitting style like Peek-a-Boo style
Nice video, very well put together. A few thoughts on what Batman fighting philosophy would look like:
1) A high tech batsuit would be an absolute must. No matter how good you are, you are going to get hit, and against a group of thugs, getting a lucky crack at the jaw and getting dropped is a death sentence. No need to tank bullets like in the movies, but the suit needs to function like a highly flexible and resistant exoeskeleton.
2) Batman in action would be more like military CQC than kickboxing or MMA and would have a heavy focus on controlling and disarming weapons. Realistically, getting into a pure fist fight would be a rare ocurrence, as criminals will always carry at least a knife. He would more likely fight like Solid Snake rather than Bruce Lee.
3) Direct confrontation is the last resort. Batman would probably set traps with his gadgets and take his opponents out one by one. I don't see Batman dropping into a bank to stop a robbery mid heist, but either taking out the criminals befote it happened or following them to their safe house
4) Batman would have an extremely high level of fighting IQ, meaning that he wouldn't trade blows, but use his environment and gadgets before landing a disabling strike
5) As much as he would be well versed in submission holds, against a group of opponents, staying mobile is paramount
6) Batman would be a master of meditation and yogic practices. Even at the heat of combat, he'd need to stay eerily calm
7) Batman needs to send a message. He might not kill, but criminals would get scared shitless if their buddies sudde ly start going dark and end up appearing 3 days later at a hospital with 37 broken bones and a speech impediment. His fighting style needs to be surgical and ruthless.
Incredible analysis and I agree!
Better analysis than the video itself!
Yup you got it. I was just thinking that Batman will rely heavily on gadgets/weaponry. He'll try his best to avoid physical confrontation and figure out a way to attack his opponents without physical fighting them. Honestly his martial arts skills will be the last thing he'll rely on. Most likely his environmental intelligence will be used more like military men.
"fight like Solid Snake rather than Bruce Lee"
You seem to forget Snake using a spinning hook kick to disarm a guy with a rifle and the entire Ocelot fighting game sequence in MGS4
Batman has been shown to still train with Ted Grant and several other heroes (black canary, green arrow, even Superman), as well as all his partners, Robinand Nightwing and Red Hood, so he has plenty of sparring partners to keep his skills sharp, without his secret identity being at risk
That speed training looks really nice. Also it's always so satisfying to watch Grant execute his technique, it's so flawless and the sparring footage makes me realize you can actually achieve that technical level, even into fighting
Batman: Combat Training Guide
Captain America: Combat Training Guide
Deathstroke: Combat Training Guide
I would be interested in any and all of these and more.
Batman would best CA and DS. Sticking with the Bats!
Batman spars and practices with several league and non-league members. This practice extends to learning new/better ways to fight.
Films are somewhat dumbed down for general masses and as such can gloss over details like this.
So in the Year 1 Batman comic it says his training was mostly in "Buddhist martial arts" in Korea, which really exist but don't really have a name. They also aren't really accessible unless you wanna go become a monk in Korea. You can train Tukong Moosul though, which is based on those martial arts. A dude who lived and trained in the temple from 5 to 19 and also trained some Shaolin Kung Fu was asked to design a better martial art for the Korean Special Forces while he was in the military and Tukong Moosul was the result. It's used by both the normal military and the reserves now
Super cool! Is this the base of the MMA fighter called the Korean Zombie?
Taekyun seems forgotten... Even Ssireum.
Maybe at first. But he later takes all skills he can from all martial arts. I've been reading Cassandra Cain comics (the second (or third depending on how you count) Batgirl) and in it Bruce just gives her a training program where he himself describes and demonstrates techniques of hundreds of martial arts styles.
When I’m older I’d like to almost disappear for about a year or a few and train at a place like that but I can’t really find any places
in the arkham knight game he does a mixture of Japanese jui jitsu moves.
I do Taekwondo and I can honestly say that a spinning hook kick, if done properly, is very hard to pull off. Also, a note on the majority of these kicks: there is a movement called a chamber where your knee starts bent and releases into the kick. If timed properly, correct technique of the chamber and technique of the kick can result in very powerful strikes. For example, in the front kick, you bring your knee up in front of you(chamber) and then kick. After you kick, you re-chamber to keep control of your leg. Also, the roundhouse kick has a chamber. If you want the best effectiveness, get in your stance, bring your knee forward directly in front of you and not on the side. Then, pivot in the ball of your foot at the same time when you turn your hips over and kick. Then, re-chamber. On the side kick, chamber your knee sideways(parallel with the ground), and make sure it’s close to your chest. Then when you kick, push out with the heel and re-chamber. Skip in side looked okay except for what I previously said about the side. My only tip would be to make sure your legs don’t cross when you skip in. Not saying you did, just a tip. On the back kick, you want to not turn so far. For more speed, chamber directly under you and kick straight back. The way to make sure you are aiming right is that you should be turning your head and seeing the target over your shoulder. Combine those and you should be doing a faster back kick with your back almost straight to the opponent. Spin hook kick: chamber similar to a back kick, slightly more out to the side, and when you kick your leg out make it similar to a side kick at the face. When you kick, lock your leg out, and then it will bend and swing around. Essentially re chambering and preparing for the next kick. Tornado kick: hate to break it to you, but these are very easy to see coming and to dodge. A very similar kick is called a nadhabahn? Sorry I can’t spell it properly. Maybe try researching it because it is almost entirely touching the ground so if an opponent moves, you can still turn and be ready for a different kick. Also, if done properly, it can be disguised as other kicks. As someone who does Taekwondo and reads people, I can say that the tornado kick can be seen from a mile away. The tornado side kick is basically pointless and the jump back kick I have some tips. Try to do the back kick under you and when you jump, don’t try to get the kick as high as your head. Unless your opponent is very tall, you can jump and do the kick downwards while still hitting them in the face or top of the chest. That was just my two cents about some of the kicks. Like I said earlier, I do Taekwondo and know these kicks. I’m not saying you are wrong, maybe just taught differently. Not trying to diss anything in the video, just trying to give some tips for proper form and higher effectiveness. Please don’t be offended, I’m trying to help people. Great video though.
I loved seeing the name of the technique, then a real life demo, and then my imagination overlays Batman doing the technique and I say to myself, "Yup, that's a Batman move. Yup, that's a Batman move. Yup, that's a Batman move... "
Great video!!

Your approach to training really clicks with me. Of course, Batman and The Punisher comics were a part of my motivation for joining the military...
You missed the point then
@@jacobkeary6740 You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, yet you feel a need to express an opinion anyway. Bad habit.
That's actually really cool. I don't plan on joining the military but Batman and the Punisher definitely motivate me to better myself mentally and physically everyday, something I'm sure the military required for you to do.
@@bane2637 That's what I was saying. It was the discipline, focus and skills I wanted. I wasn't planning a vigilante lifestyle.
Nah fr ima be a vigilante ☠️
In all seriousness that would be nearly impossible to do like in the comics but would be epic to pull off
The Arkham Batman is the most complete and comprehensive version. I agree 100%. Intellectually Brilliant and fit at an elite level.
May have been best intro ive ever seen
It's official, Grant Stevens is the real Robin. There are amazing training tools.
I feel very fortunate that the technique section intersects heavily with how I’ve been trained. The only things I would add is working on transitions between sticking and grappling as those are different movement and interaction patters and mixing them is a separate skill, and more emphasis on kicks to the lower body (leg sweeps, groin strikes, kicks to joints). I find those to be very powerful tools for breaking an opponent’s posture when you don’t have the luxury or judo-style grip play
Nice editing. Looks like it's not just strength that's improving
Started training the techniques today (hand techniques primarily) I'm very happy with the results so far. Particularly impressed with the rolling tornado hook. Covers a lot of distance very quickly and deliveres a lot of power. (Also feels super awesome to do)
the editing and everything on this video is MADD. love this, good work
The intro alone got me beyond pumped!!!!! Great work as always fellas, much respect!
Love Batman comics love this kind of training your body is the Gym! Never been in a gym in 15 years just training old school in garage still ripped af in my 50s where THERE'S a will there will always be a way!!!
Grant is a great addition to this channel. The Bioneer covers so much!
Grant is very fluid. Lovely , smooth technique. A breakdown on how to do the moves might be a useful add on or a separate video.
Wow, I love this! I've been meaning to jump back into Martial Arts, but keep pushing it off or just doing basic techniques on my punching bag and shadow boxing.

Next level editing, extremely cinematic, Bioneer 2022 unleashed
If you're new to this, there's really no point practising techniques with a friend without being supervised and corrected by a professional. You'll just learn bad technique: even doing stuff like shadow boxing by yourself will mess up your footwork, and it'll be harder to correct later. Find an MMA gym and go three or four times a week to get started, is the simple answer. If that's not possible, try to train one or both of BJJ or Muay Thai and integrate with the other later when an MMA gym is more accessible (wrestling, boxing, judo also useful, avoid Taekwondo, Aikido, and most forms of karate, with the exception of Kudo and perhaps Kyukoshin). If you can't get proper instruction/supervised sparring, I'd really recommend a focus on conditioning for now. Or, maybe get some of the introductory instructionals off BJJ Fanatics/Gracie University. If you and a friend have some mats in a garage and are both committed to really studying the video instructionals from e.g. John Danaher you might legit be able to get somewhere.
Sparring with stronger people alone makes you a better fighter-having a teacher is nice experince is king
I started learning how to fight by practicing/drilling technique and then applying it in sparring with a group of my friends. They are all different sizes and levels of athletic ability so it gave me some good experience and made me a lot more comfortable/confident engaging in physical confrontation. When I started training with actual MMA guys and Kickboxers I was able to hold my own a lot more than most of them were able to when they were starting out. I would recommend that if you're interested in doing things this way you need to be extremely self aware/critical of your own performance and honest with yourself about what your capabilites are. Problem is a lot of people think they are objectively analyzing their own abilities when in reality they are not.
Kali is a good option too
U don't have to have pitch perfect technique to be effective, the best technician are not always the best fighters...and a tech u have down in regards to timing abd delivery will be effective even if it's not super clean
Good answer 👍🏼. I would highly recommend conditioning if no gym is available. It's difficult to find a gym let alone a good one. I definitely ingrained mistakes in my form during the pandemic and must relearn once I rejoined mine. Only thing I would be avoiding the other martial arts. If you already have them, you would have to adjust those skills to MMA in order to see what works and what doesn't. Example is like point taekwondo is awful mma but if you're able to find the old school taekwondo (which probably doesn't exist in america), that would be so much more helpful.
About the sparring aspect of the training. In a canceled cartoon called "Beware the Batman", Bruce would actually spar with Alfred, who was younger than all the other depictions of him.
This channel is gold!
I started my martial arts career back in 1978.

1000% interested in the Batman combat guide. Anything Batman, I’m all in.
Sigma Lone Wolf TO THE END!!!!!!!!
I would absolutely love to see a dedicated video on engaging multiple combatants at once. I realize it’s a no-win situation, but I’ve seen a limited number of pieces of advice online - notably ‘circling’, a technique I read about on an Art of Manliness article
Have a look at mmashredded Jeff chan's video where he spars two of his untrained friends. Very interesting to see how even a trained professional struggles against 2 people
If you have size power and are fighting two to three untrained people...and you have been doing a highly mobile striking style like boxing or dutch kickboxing would be your best bet. Possibly Muay Thai style clinching as well. There are plenty of people out there that hit hard enough to put down three wannabe thugs simultaneously.
And actually coming back i just realize... adding gadgets sap gloves or escirma sticks could turn those two to three people in to 4-5 people fairly quickly. So it isn't out of the realm or reality
There are two techniques for fighting multiple combatants. first one is speed. second is to line them up then you keep moving to keep the second guy behind the first guy at all times, the second guy's fight is to get out from behind the first guy while the entire time you are throwing jab's at the first guy until you incapacitate him by knock out or broken nose. both technique's require plenty of practice to preform effectively. These are your most realistic approach's.
It's a question of tactics. You are outgunned, so you have to position yourself so that you can apply maximum "firepower" while your enemies can use as little of their "firepower" as possible.
Stan Lee basically gave Spiderman the ultimate power set for fighting groups: he is highly mobile, immensely strong, he can restrict the movement of his enemies and there's a minimal benefit to surrounding or surprising him because of his spider sense.
Batman is an exceptional martial artist but he's also a tactical genius.
Grant’s form is always so damn clean.
Great video as usual mate! A few tips for beginners who never partook any combat sports:
1) Have appropriate gear. When Adam mentioned MMA gloves, you should be looking for the mma gloves that look similar to boxing gloves with open hands, not the ones on fight night. Using the ones with more padding on the knuckles, you'll be able to throw more strikes with your partner without injuring them compared to fight night gloves. Also have shin guards and elbow pads as shins hurt like a mofo for both sides if you haven't conditioned and elbows can easily cut your partner.
2. Body strike conditioning. When your partner throws punches to your abs, have it be moderate power YOU can handle. Your partner can throw moderate power but if you can't handle it after a few shots, the rest of the workout will go to waste. Build up the tolerance before going hard.
3. Strong communication. Adam stated this a few times, so emphasizing it again. You can injury yourself and your partner easily if you don't set the speed, intensity, and combos.
4. Spar as much as possible. Doing the combos won't mean much if you can't land them.
5. Understand the foundation of strikes and grappling principles. The training montages display nogi bjj, wrestling, and strikes from a wide variety of combat sports. Example would be the difference of the Bob and weave in western boxing and muay thai. You can exaggerate the weave in western boxing whereas that exaggeration is inviting a knee to the face.
Hope this helps fellow Bat family recruits!
Heck yeah man you know your stuff I couldn't agree more
@@CoolGeekDefence just trying to be helpful for any Robin's out there 😉

Also, the SOE had a way to practice multiple oponent... Basically put multiple targets, and practice switching between them... Example... Put 3 bags in a perfect triangle... Stand in the middle, hit them and go from one to the other, avoiding being hit in the back by the bag you just hit...
SOE ?
@@stealthslide2723 in world war 2, electric bugaloo, the british decided to mimic the asymetrical warfare used by rebel irish forces but with the money the state can give that a rebel faction cant get... The result was that they took basically anyone with the guts to be a spy or soldier and trained them to be basically modern ninjas... You can buy the manuals because most of it is not classified anymore...
They had secret weapons, including special silent firearms that were so wuiet they got tested by shooting from a rooftop to a river over a crowd of civilians without them noticing there was a shot... However, those guns were pretty bad for extended use, were more of a "use once and throw away" kinda thing... They had extensive training in breaking and entering, espionage, counterintelligence, sabotage, secret comunications and scouting... And their hand to hand system was designed by a british cop who worked in china beating the shit out of criminals... His style was a mix of kung fu and judo....
Some notable stories about the soe are the next:
1) they stopped h¡Tler from building the nuke by blowing up the place where the naz¡S were working on it
2)a small woman trained by them helped lots of prisoners escape the naz¡S and after being captured she managed to convinxe them that she wasnt danngeroud... Then managed to sctuslly kill a naz¡ Soldier with her bare hands, even tho she was a small woman... If someone made a movie abiut her people would think sll.of.it is fake
3) they did so many assassinations and sabotage missions that the axis provably would have won if it wasnt for how much they disrupted their operations with things so small as blowing up bridges, cutting powerlines and blocking roads...

@@stealthslide2723 no problem 💪
Man, I love Grant's videos. Need more Grant.
Finally, a new Batman workout video! AWESOMENESS‼️💢 Still waiting on a Catwoman video.👍🏿😉
I think Japanese Jiu-jitsu combined with some strong boxing/kickboxing covers a lot of bases for Batman. The Dark Knight doesn't kill but he isn't shy about breaking limbs or destroying joints. Brutal punching power leading into a throw leveraged off of an arm or wristlock (not allowed in judo) is an efficient way to reduce enemy numbers while remaining standing. Jiu-jitsu has a long history with police work and subduing violent criminals and I think it would be a cornerstone of Batman's martial arts skillset.
Thank you guys!!
The effort and research you put into these videos are greatly appreciated.

He was 😂
Been a martial arts and self defense instructor for 30 years and, you sir, have done a very good analysis of this. Well done!!! The only thing I’ve always been concerned with is BJJ in a situation like this. While BJJ IS effective, it’s risky against multiple or armed opponents.
True I think BJJ like everything else is situational
People still talk like this? This sound like the things mall ninjas and bullshido guys used to say before UFC 🤣😂 lol
@@memysurname7521 I mean before the UFC people used to not respect the effectiveness of BJJ at all that is to say not even in 1 on 1 situations me and this other guy both acknowledged BJJ's effectiveness in 1 v 1 situations and yes the UFC has shown that BJJ is effective in the purest form on 1 on 1 combat and I've seen BJJ work on up to 3 people at once and I think BJJ can be effective against 1 knife welder but in a batman situation I'm not sure engaging in a prolonged grown exchange with 5 people at once or even 3 people who have knives is a good idea this is someone who has training in BJJ and has competed in BJJ competitions
@@memysurname7521 well lucky for me I am neither. Having trained in Filipino Kali for many years, I again say that, while effective, BJJ is ill-advised against someone who could be a trained knife fighter. I can say, humbly and respectively, that I have proven that fact to some pretty talented BJJ practitioners. Also, I am pretty sure that the BJJ practitioners I meet don’t commonly wear armor like Batman to help defend themselves against this.
@@CoolGeekDefence The thing is, you don't talk about revolvers when the job is a job for a rifle or a tank. The whole "BJJ no good to fight against 13 guys with guns" it's just a stupid thing to say. That's all I am saying. And is something that fools, delusional weaboos, and con men, normally say on top of that.
It was kinda cool seeing how many techniques you nailed from the series into one video. I was like "Welp, that's everything short of flying w/ the grappling hook!" Outstanding work.
Batman uses galaxy brain shadow boxing. He's smart enough to correctly and logically imagine opponents in his mind to test himself.
I mean, that's always been my own personal head cannon. He's smart enough have contingency plans for nearly every scenario. I think he has the mental fortitude to spar in his mind and still have real world results.
Like baki. 👍 but not as dramatic as to get thrown around by his own mind. Lol.
A combat guide on how to fight like Daredevil from the Netflix series would be cool to see!
Lot of crossover with the conditioning. Exception being less high kicking more boxing/dirty boxing and some Escrima if you want to get more exotic on the comic book take.
Do all of this with eyes closed😁
@@anurag23611 even better!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I second this, that would be a great contrast to the batman archetype
I'd like to see Batman make more use of his cape in fight sequences with wushu movements and techniques. That'd be cool to see on screen.
Bouta push an 8 year old over for J-walking, JUSTICE!
This is so sick!
Dope video, very well done. As far as Batman sparring goes, I feel like beating up petty untrained criminals is light work for Batman and would qualify as sparring for someone who mastered over 100 martial arts. And he does that almost every night. As a judoka I learned that while yes daily practice is the most practical way to learn and gain experience, you can also gain a lot of experience from participating in tournaments and competitions which is the closest and safest way to simulate a real fight. Substituting sparring for real street brawls is probably the reason Batman’s martial arts skills are so vicious.
He is also armored so it is safer for him.

Ah yes, the *I don't kill people, I cripple them and leave people comatose*
That intro caught me wayyyyy off guard, keep it up!
Just your best editing for the best hero ! A video of this quality would deserve to be seen soooo many times and like just as much ! Congrats💪
Have been waiting for this for forever. The Bioneer never disappoints.
🔥
To be fair, in the comics Bruce can spare anytime he wants with the likes of Nightwing, the various Robins, Cassandra Cain, Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Wildcat, Bronze Tiger, Richard Dragon or any other highly trained fighter he's accustomed with in the hero community.
Don't forget Alfred!
True; you are only as good as your sparring partners, and Batman has access to some of the best in the DCU
He’s talking about Bruce’s beginnings in training. It was just him solo and he needed to have some sort of randori where he committed to live defense against multiple attackers on the regular to become who he is.
Sparring with Wonder Woman lol! There goes that myth again. 🤣😂
True, I didn't think of that
@@dextergarner1286 he trained alongside some of the people mentioned coming up under the same masters anyway.
i think this is the way the bioneer is telling us that he beat up batman
Yea, I never bought the whole 125 martial arts mastery suggestion--I always felt that wasnt realistic.
To me, he probably would have been exposed to 15-20 real martial arts and fighting styles.
He would have, again realistically, truly mastered 5-7.
That along with his gymnastic training, strength training and his detective prowess, would make him a formidable adversary for almost anyone.
Your assessment is more realistic. A lot of martial arts styles are derivative of one another and are virtually identical. For example, Judo is the basis for Jujitsu, the emphasis is just more on ground grappling in Jujitsu than in Judo, but they all have the same moves. Same thing for Muay Thai and Lethwei. Lethwei is the predecessor of Muay Thai which incorporates head strikes where as Muay Thai does not.
The 125 mastery is just comic book nonsense. In reality he would have taken a handful, developed his own style, and just perfected that style while he did casual research on other martial arts to stay ahead of certain things. Much like Bruce Lee did.
Just being good at boxing will win you most street fights. Add in some grappling defense and you can pretty much trounce anyone who isn't discreetly a professional fighter in a 1 on 1 street fight.
Well . . to make it more realistic, the author makes Batman a genius.
Bruce Lee learned every martial art available to public at the age of 23 years old.
The same in any martial art you master, you use only a handful technique that you like.
You like that technique because you prefer it, because you think it's most useful, because you have higher success using those technique, because you can execute it flawlessly, because . . . 😁
Off course, because you know every technique from the martial art you master, you can dig deeper and use it,
when you meet an opponent that hard to defeat.
So . . master ing a technique is just a matter of memories it and able to implement it. Batman is a genius , so . .
There isn't much more than like 5 useful martial arts anyway, and surprise, once you master multiple you're just an MMA practitioner now lol
@@jacobkeary6740 yes and no. MMA as the sport only focuses on essentially a handful of different styles and you rarely see any deviation from those styles. Jujitsu, Muay Thai, TKD, Karate, Boxing, Wrestling and Kickboxing.
You're not seeing a whole lot of variety here where someone with a background in Glima (Viking wrestling) is competing in the main stream. So to say that there are only "5 useful martial arts" from an MMA perspective is just wrong. Point fighting and street fighting aren't comparable. In most MMA fights if the gloves were off, the results would be dramatically different making those styles they are using actually deliberately less effective than they otherwise would be in a life and death situation.
In that same vein though, you're not going to be able to test out the effectiveness of a style without forcing a regular engagement in conflict. Aikido for instance has no practical combat ability because no dojo ever trains students to do anything other than controlled kata's. I'm sure if they did 50 years worth of combat oriented training they'd show more worth for the style as they trimmed the fat.
In general I agree with you though.
@@charleshill1906 I thought it was *Muay Boran* that was a predecessor to Muay That.
I'll be piecing this video apart for awhile. You guys just raised the bar on this style of video! Outstanding
Excellent video that massively boosted my levels of inspiration and motivation, thank you. Might I add, that logically, the main source of Batman`s weapon training would be Ninjutsu and Fillipino Martial arts, like Escrima and Kali. He also probably received some high level traditional weapon training from his Karate/Kung fu/Tae kwon do background as well, but the main source would be Ninjutsu and Fillipino, due to them being Martial Art disciplines that contain a lot of weapon use. He could have also received some Kenjutsu/Kendo and Iaijutsu/Iaido training as well, since he has been seen using a Katana sword many times, but that could also be from his Ninjutsu training. But again, with Ninjutsu and Fillipino Martial Arts alone, he probably covered all the weapon training he could probably need.
I don't think Ninjutsu is a thing tho. To everyone reading this be careful, high chances of being a scan.
Bruh...this production is dope.
I know we're talking fictional fights here but anything that involves a spin is usually a gimmick and a waste of energy.
Also he doesn't need to spar, he's out fighting people constantly. That real world experience is worth any amount of sparring.
Yeah that shit is gonna get people's asses kicked spinny flippy shit is purely entertainment.
"I came from da street"
The windup in every one of those moves left him so overexposed than an equally skilled fighter could just shuffle forward and push him over mid windup. Not to mention that even in the sparring session his opponent easily blocks a kick. Any kick above the waist is a total waste of effort and in a street fight, trying to throw a roundhouse or one of those spinning kicks is going to get your shit pushed in. Just use a Muay Thai low round kick to the knee after a distracting jab or short combo and watch anyone you have to fight crumble as you shatter their knee or at the very least, trip them.
@@charleshill1906 100% truth glad some people know their stuff even an average or below average fighter can hurt you doing all that over the top crap.
@@charleshill1906 I think high kicks can be brutal if you can do them fast but only if you're 1 on 1. Otherwise not worth the bother.
Side kick, front kick and low kick are the only ones I would ever consider and that's only in a 1 vs 1 on stable footing.
I'd avoid kicks completely if you had to fight off more than one person because you seriously don't want to risk ending up on the floor.
Hell yes! This is what I've been waiting for!!!
Has anyone ever seen Adam and Batman in the same room? 👀
I certainly haven't...
@@grantstevensma great video my man 👍
Nice form! I like the way you engage the hips and core into the kicks!
Thank you!
One of the graphic novels describes batmans fighting style to be like math. He knows exactly every angle and distance, to create utter efficiency.
Thank you I’m so glad I found I always wanted to fight like Batman I do workout but there are times I have to defend myself or attack huge thank you 🖤
There’s a major problem with this video. I really like your channel and the thought you put into your videos, but this one has a major flaw. You never want to kick high in any real combat encounter. High kicks are for show and for fights with referees that will step in and save you from being pounded to death on the ground after you fall over. You want to use your legs primarily to attack your attackers legs to immobilize them. So Thai kicks, shin and foot stomps, things of that nature actually apply to real combat. They are very difficult to see coming and very difficult to evade, for the average street fighter/criminal.
If the purpose of the video were strictly for teaching people to look cool in the gym, that’s one thing. But my concern here is that some will take this training seriously and think they have a great self-defense program here. They do not.
This video isn’t designed to be practical. This is a video to teach people how to fight like Batman. And, it just so happens that Batman uses a lot of high kicks both in the comics and video games (not in the movies oddly enough). This video isn’t meant to be practical.
High kicks are perfectly valid in a street fight if your falling over its because your not properly balanced which is a technique issue not an issue with kicks all of which come with a high risk the old saying for kicks is twice the power half the defence and this applies to all kicks because anytime one foots off the ground your way easier to knock over, as long as your not being reckless then you will likely be fine.
Very nice analysis, however the most important in Batman's training is his mindset, without this any average person can achieve the techniques but not how to used them correctly. That's why Batman is the most amazing character ever created, he represents literally the maximum potential of a human being.
So this video was excellent, but my question is where do we put in the time to train like Batman? Yes ik this is combat training but what about the fitness aspect as in the CrossFit type training Batman does.
Typically I train movement and martial arts in the morning and then strength training in the afternoon to evening. The bioneer has a Batman begins workout and other Batman workouts to go with it. I would say start off slow and strength train only 3 days until you’re conditioning increases
