For Batman, I'd recommend traditional strength training + gymnastics + and free running. To allow for maxium use of strength, agility, and fluidity. Than add martial arts.
Croc Gator Bruce Lee would kick Batman in his nutsack...Makes more sense to train like Bruce Lee than Bruce Wayne the dude that never was in existence.
Batman, peak physical human condition, genius level IQ, speaks 30 languages, has mastered 127 martial arts styles, great detective, and experience and skill in all forms of detective work (forensics, puzzle solving, physiological motives, etc.) mastered almost every weapon known to man, speed reader, constantly power naps or micro sleeps, goes days without sleep etc. master strategist and has numbers of gadgets all designed to be small, compact, and sleek, even inputting them into his suit, amazing knowledge of pressure points and human weakspots allowing to hit hard in the right area and protect himself properly. High pain resistance and has hacked into alien technology. There's probably more but thas what I can think of right now.
NoCultist the one thing I don't understand is he's big as a bodybuilder which I don't like it I like it when Batman is Slim and lean like in the old days because it makes more sense because if you're going to be as agile as Batman you would want a more functional body
+ The Bioneer . I think it would be very interesting if you do a video describing how you would spend days training and what training regime you would follow trying to reach superhuman fitness level, "If" working and earning is not a concern.
There's only so many ways to punch and kick someone. one theory is that after learning 4 or 5 styles. He only had to learn the cultural nuances and special techniques of a new style to master it.
DarthArachnious he uses boxing muay thai krav maga judo karate kung fu ninjuitsu wrestling and tai kwon do the most I think but he knows 127 different styles
Presumably he started learning martial arts when he was 8. He began his sojourn when he was 14 according to Year 1.I would assume he knew all the styles when he became Batman at, 25 was it? But didn't put it all together till after he started his career.
Joe King Bruce would do his research before engaging in any training. He wouldn't just hop from one martial art to another, he would have a carefully designed plan, based on the known roots of each martial art and how some of them connect, in such a way that he would learn and master the techniques that had the most carry over to other arts first. He would quickly learn how to identify useless techniques and discard them, in order to be more effective. He would constantly challenge skilled fighters of each art, and he would dedicate a few hours to combine his skills from different schools, creating effective combos and testing them. As he transitioned from one art to another, there would be way less things to learn, and even fewer worth learning. I'm sure he wouldn't loose his time learning an art that wouldn''t add much to his skill book. If Aikido was a priority on his list, it would receive the attention it deserved. You have to understand this is a man with so much practice, knowledge and dedication that learning new motor skills would be routine. Finally, he wouldn't only learn from martial arts masters. He would seek special operations training too. He would also seek the best underground fighters he could find and train with them and against them. I'm willing to bet he would engage in illegal underground fights, implementing his wide array of skills against the most vicious people, without rules. This is the way I believe the Batman style of fighting would be born. He wouldn't need to think, he would react with whatever technique was the most appropriate to a certain situation based on experience and practice. He wouldn't need 127 martial arts under his belt, but his own style.
Your not wrong, it would be quick to learn other forms of say Karate after learning the first one to many similarities same for judo or bjj. Besides as they say there is nothing new in martial arts, most of the stuff coming out today is just a different spin on something that has been omitted from a current art.(i.e.) pre ww2 judo where there was still striking versus today's judo where they have stopped teaching strikes. Military systems are even easier due to the fact they will be stripped down of anything that is not effective, but the problem is also they are made to maim or kill, not for capturing. Now would he learn holds; yes from juijitsu or anything like that, but again only so many ways to do things. just my opinion.
I think an important consideration is that Batman's overall fitness/performance only needs to operate within a certain threshold in order to do the things Batman does. He wouldn't necessarily need to be performing at peak human potential 100% of the time, in fact for some villains/circumstances he may not need to. He may devote his time developing only the skills necessary to overcome the challenge in front of him... because that's what Batman does.
Im training 3-4 times a day im ambidextrous and that helps me a lot but you dont have to be to fight good and i can assure you the human body is incredible thing ,ive trained rock climbing in the university also muay thai (the rock climbing is incredible and i recommend it to everybody its fun ), now im training boxing and mma with proper diet (actually mine is very strict) , Batman is incredible inspiration as a human being,nothing is impossible even his intelligence the catch here is how much you are able to chew against from yourself to yourself and die in yourself many times to accomplish his achievements and dont forget that he has very big heart.
From what I know from the comics, he had been training his mind from 10 years old to prevent himself from ever being mind controlled, and to be as smart as possible. He started physically training himself when he was 11, starting with blood doping, and using machines and electric currents to increase his physical strength and endurance. He made sure his diet was sufficient with Alfred's help. Like you said, though, he had the amazing income to provide the resources for these.
Comic Batman is more of the unrealistic Batman which is confusing as to why people keep mentioning the Batman in the comics. The Batman in the comics is just for the comics, if you want to see a more realistic Batman take a look at the dark knight movies because that’s as real as it gets.
I think we can all universally agree that, currently, no human being can do what Batman does in the comics. Even the most dedicated and most seasoned Olympic athletes would simply pale in comparison to what Bruce Wayne has done. Let's face it. The man is strong enough to bench press more than 1000 pounds with no issue at all, while simultaneously possessing gymnastic skills so good that they'll make Simone Biles wet in her pants. Plus, he's fast enough to dodge and evade gunfire like it's second nature to him, and he's managed to walk away from physical damage that would severely injure, and even kill, any other human. To put it bluntly, if someone like Batman were to exist in real life, he or she would be the genetic freak among genetic freaks, and even that's underselling it a bit.
Nowhere in any comic does it claim Bruce Wayne can bench 1000 pounds. If you're going to make a post like this (which is overall correct) make sure it is 100% accurate.
@@MeliorIlle the world record bench press is around 1000 pounds (quick google search puts it at 1075 lbs . If Batman's whole thing is that he performs at the extreme limits of human ability (seeing as he is the go-to example for Peak Human in DC), I don't think saying that can bench 1000 pounds is inaccurate. Whether or not he can bench that much without issue should be the point of contention.
What about the most important and underrated part of Batman's human peak? The brain. The hardest part is to train the mind. He is an aexpert in psychology, investigation, science, engineering, everything, basically. He is not just muscles, he is a genius. And its pretty much impossible to be all that in a single lifetime
It's all about the mindset , combine your mind with your body as one and always be positive but don't let your emotions control you , i think what you are doing is absolutely AWESOME and i think you CAN become batman if you really THINK you can and have the determination and dedication Adam :) this is what life is about being happy and doing what you want keep it up friend
@just some guy without a mustache this is a world of endless possibilities..! nothin' is impossible..! but if you believe something is impossible, you'll definitely will never be able to do it..!
I think that the original 1939 Batman was the most realistic. He was basically just a super ripped guy that knew Judo, Jujitsu, and Boxing. And was a crazy good detective and scientist.
Bruce Wayne spent his younger years traveling the world training and learning. He did not become Batman until he was trained to a level that he could actually be the Batman. Being a Billionaire helps.
I do have a bit of a note here. I don't usually do youtube comments and for those who may disagree I do not usually read these so just save your time but I do have just a food for thought comment. I do study martial arts quite passionately and one way Batman could learn so many different styles is by what I have called a bleed over effect. Both my senseis have talked about this. In simple terms it is this. The human body only has so many variations it can move or move another body in combat. Many different martial arts actually teach very similar techniques with only slight variations. Punches, kicks, grapples, conditioning are not as different as you may think. Take boxing, which will teach you how to punch very well. Lets say you box for a while and get good at it but may want to learn say Ju Jitsu. Well you do the classes and the sensei starts to go over punching but because you have that boxing experience, your punching is already going to be good and will need very little to no work adjusting to the new style. This is how Batman can learn so many styles. Lets say he stared with a well rounded set like a variation of Kung Fu for offensive techniques, Ju Jitsu for ground work and grappling, and lets say a wrestling/boxing combo for conditioning and aggressive combat training. Well if he were to go all out as Batman does and master all these disciplines and lets say it takes him a ton of time like normal lets say 5 years if he went all out and did nothing else. Well now the skills he learned in these styles will translate very well into any other style he may try and he will have to spend significantly less time learning that style because he already knows a lot of prior techniques and the human body can only move or fight in a certain way. So if he were to go to learn maybe Karate or MMA, he would already know how to punch, kick, grapple, condition, do combos, etc based on the prior knowledge and would only need to dedicate time to learning the specific variations based on more advanced techniques and considering his prior knowledge that would take far less time. So to say he knows all of them yah is farfetched just because like mentioned the world of martial arts is constantly evolving and everyone can come up with their own variation. But to say he knows 127 may not be as impossible when considered. Because after you've learned 3-5 well rounded martial arts then you have the ability to learn more and more quickly so it wont take years or 10,000 hours to master a new discipline because maybe 7,000 of those hours is stuff you already know. Like I said. I don't read these nor do I normally write them so save yourself the trouble if you disagree. I'm putting this more out there for food for thought. Anyway have a good day on the interwebs.
Thanks! Yeah I guess you could say that :-P My wife would probably disagree... Lol not sure, he's supposed to eat something like 4,000+ calories a day so all of them would be pretty huge! He'd eat a ton of protein for all that training and he'd probably want a fair amount of carbohydrates just to supply the energy... Loads of everything!
For maintenance I would estimate Batman's macros to be: Protein: 230g Carbs: 570g Fats: 90g This is based on a 4000 kcal maintenance level and a bodyweight of 210lbs. Protein is slightly higher than I would recommend for a normal person due to the extra stress Batman's body goes through in training and fighting. Carbs are as high as possible for maximum energy while allowing fats to remain at the lowest possible healthy level. Everybody is different so Batman would have to adjust his macros based on energy levels and how he feels, but this would be a good starting point.
I'm late to the discussion, but after calculating his BMI, muscle percentage, estimating his metabolism as well as daily activity, my estimate for his daily macros is "yes."
Batman's real superpower is being rich. He is undeniably a uniquely gifted individual, but even the best athletes in the world need to train. Batman's real boon is the fact that he is able to spend all his time studying and training, probably with the best programs and tutors in the world. Everything else is details.
I think batman is born a meta human, for example in the movies when u see him as a child u think" wow that kid is Bruce Wayne he I gonna grow up to be the most dangerous human in the planet"
I'd say sort of yes. The fact that he us super rich allows him the time to train. It would also cover travel costs and such. Everything else is purely him tho Just because he is rich doesn't mean he didn't put a TON of training and planning into it
When referring to Bruce Wayne's skills in the Martial Arts, it's true that no one could learn all of them. At least, not separately. During the years that he spent overseas, he was pretty much "off the grid" for several years because he was visiting remote places...Those few places where the root-core of all martial arts styles originated. He learned not only how to recognize the many styles that exist today, but can also counter against them while mixing & matching the styles. In effect, he knows the branches because he knows the roots of the whole tree. But above all, if Bruce Wayne has any "super powers" at all, it was the wealth he inherited...With his wealth, he did not have to waste time or effort on providing for his basic living, like food, clothing or shelter that can consume most others. He could travel to where he wanted, afford the colleges he wanted, the wealth of the Wayne Foundation already provided him with with connections & contacts so that he could find anything or anyone he wanted. Wealth is indeed its own super power, which is how Tony Stark could become Iron Man. But if you take away Stark's suit & the wealth/resources to make another suit, he's just an ordinary, average person. Bruce Wayne without Batman's gadgets & vehicles is still an extremely formidable human being.
The argument in the book _Becoming Batman_ is that Batman has essentially studied an advanced form of Ninjutsu, which incorporates Striking [hands, feet, knees, elbows, head,], Grappling, joint manipulation, mental discipline and weapons in various ranges. This to me makes more sense; Batman learning Ninjutsus basically means he has access to no fwere than 12-18 genres of specific technique, from Taijutsu body techniques [the various direct fighting arts] to 6 different, applicable weapon's schools [Bojutsu/stick fighting, shurikenjutsu/knife throwing, kenjutsu/swordfighting] other body techniques [Kopojutsu- bone breaking and healing] and skills in infiltration and espionage. I figure this would be batman's "base" art, especially considering it shows how there are variations of ninja techniques within different schools. Add to that some more power-based fighting styles [Muay Ty, Kyukoshin or Goju Karate, Hang Gar Kung Fu, Boxing], a speed style [Wu Shu, Kali] an adaptable style [Jeet Kun Do] and some form of CQC [Krav Maga, Special forces training] and he'd basically be covered in most _fighting_ aspects. That still doesn't take into account the other disciplines such as body control, pain tolerance, escape artistry and the other skills like driving, acrobatics, hang gliding, rapelling etc which he'd need to complete his purely physical skills set. Then of course, there are the *mental* disciplines... This video here gives a good account of his fighting techniques, at least. ruclips.net/video/l3XXL1bK-fU/видео.html
I like how a huge part of this video was focused on brain plasticity, learning and sleep. Things a lot of "how to be Batman" videos don't mention. I've been a Batman fan my entire life, it definetly influenced my choice of study and hobbies (investigative methods, martial arts). Probably could've used some of those supplements in college, made out alright nonetheless lol.
Why Batman can do all those things is not only the obvious fact that he is Batman, it's the fact that the motivation behind what he does is always greater than the amount of work he does. The end of his world is the sound of two gun shots.
278haris and one thing the point out that if you want to be as good as Batman you would need to be training for centuries to get that knowledge so let's say you somehow don't age and you're in your Prime you could get on his level with enough training but it would take a couple centuries maybe even more
Because of my body type I'm trying to become more like Nightwing because I'm naturally skinny and I don't put on muscles easily so I really trying to focus on performances, endurance,flexibility, and agility with some strength training
Alp Mete Öztürk what I miss about Batman is that he used to have a more Slimmer body which made his body look realistic because if you were going to fight crime like Batman you wouldn't want to be too muscular you would want to be more functional
3-5 rounds of strength training a week. Medium weight at 50 reps per round. You should have excellent muscle tone/ strength/ endurance in about a month maybe two depending on your body type
Batman and Nightwing are built the same. This is why Nightwing can bear the cowl and pass for Batman. What separates them is that Nightwing is more knowledgeable as an acrobat as he's been an acrobat since he could stand. He's not physically leaner.
In respect to Batman and knowing "all" the martial arts, I can tell you that you have to take a few points under consideration when it comes to Batman fighting. One, is that there is no one martial art that is better or the best. But can become familiar with a few and know some defensive counter moves. Also, there was something that Ben Affleck said about training for the Batman role and it was this, "I trained until I built this muscular body, then I took it one step further and created this Brawler like body". This would tell you that Batman had the bulk to take an initial hit from a martial artist and then adjust--never mind that he would have to do this while encountering a meta-human. Also if you look at Batman v Superman he was taking a beating as he was giving one. Also take under consideration that all the thugs he encounters during the night while on patrol were not martial artist.
The reality is if Batman would have really undergone all the training that is speculated for him to have went through he would not only be Peak human but he would be far beyond any regular ordinary man he would be borderline superhuman. He'd be doing the kind of things that you see Captain America doing or even on a level higher than that, people in the special forces come close to a Batman level but they're not even the most developed or cultivated people in the world. People in different societies isolated from what we would call modern civilization do all kinds of paranormal things and reach states that are seemingly unattainable. Batman's character is used to inspire the fact that there is no limit to which the human body can be worked without the writers really depicted how borderlinely superhuman he would actually be to keep him relatable to everyday people, that's the appeal of his character although it's not rooted in total fact. Batman has developed many powers to become who and what he is that just aren't seemingly blatant physical superpowers but they're extraordinary life skills and internal developments that are actually useful in the everyday world and make you seemingly unstoppable in real life. He has the power of internment, he has the power of ultra and altruistic character, he has the power of omnidimensional personality, he has the power of variety, hyper analysis, adaptability, indomitable will, superhuman genius, ambidextry, combat expertise, abnormal athleticism, infinite patience, incorruptability, unpredictability etc the list goes on these traits are just overlooked in the fictional Universe because they seem to pale in comparison to Godlike beings. Batman is no slouch and a very attainable goal in this world or the fictional one.
I like what you said but being Batman is far beyond anyones reach. look at all the traits and skills you just listed. Can anyone really accomplish/get those skills in the modern world?
Kael Edmond makes me wonder if a person couldn't age and that person was in his prime how far could that person get with just training imagine if that person trains for a thousand years
His official martial art of study was classical ninjitsu, which encompasses striking and grappling in various forms. If you cannot find a ninjitsu school, finding a traditional Japanese jujitsu school that teaches old-school is also good.
Imagine the concussions alone. That would put anyone out of commission pretty quickly. I don't care how tough his armor is. He's taking punches from all sorts of super-powered beings.
Very true - in a real fight one good hit to the head can cause some serious long term damage and end it immediately. In films and cartoons they take so many blows!
Another thing that always gets me about Batman is that he has insane stamina. Think about it, we literally never see the man pant or sweat unless the author/writer/animator really wants to make a point of showing how beat down, broken or just old he is, and that’s one of the craziest aspects of him to me
He doesn't need to know every single style of martial arts, he just needs to be able to fight in any and all situations and/or environments. A person with Bruce's genius would have deduced this in order to maximize and streamline his training.
Batman is a metahuman because his physical abilities defy the laws of physics or the laws of physics are different in the BvS/Nolan Universe at which point it doesn't matter whether Wayne is human or not. Example BvS Universe. Saving Martha Scene: Throws guy into wall while remaining stationary himself (Batman would have to weigh over 400 lbs in order to remain stationary as he picks up and generates sufficient torque to throw the victim into the wall). Note: If he had 'super grippy boots' then the torque would transfer to the wood flooring and rip the flooring to pieces. Punches guy so hard that the victims head smashes into the wood flooring (He would break a bone in hand, wrist, arm or dislocate a knuckle generating that much force). Impaling guy with grapple gun and then pulling the victim through the air for an elbow punch (Batman would have to weigh over 400 lbs in order to remain upright as the grapple gun generates enough force to pull the 180 lbs victim through the air). Batman vs Doomsday: The speed at which the grapple gun pulled batman off the ground onto a building and off the side of the building would dislocate a shoulder. Remember this is a 240 lb object going from 0-80 mph instantly. The Nolan Universe is a little less unrealistic than the BvS but one quick error in TDK where Batman goes flying off a building to save his love who was just dropped by the Joker. The batsuit could not prevent his organs from turning into mush as he landed on top of the car because his organs were moving at the same velocity as his body and would impact against his rib cage.
Another aspect that this video does not address about becoming Batman is that it's a path of which there are very many ways to attain. The general concept behind Batman is someone whose a jack of all trades, but a master of very few to none and there are literally billions of people walking around in the world who fit that criteria from all walks of life. A person wouldn't have to do the exact methods for the exact amount of time that the comics or different media has depicted Bruce Wayne doing to become Batman in order for them to become like this character, that level of prowess is attainable in a variety of circumstances.
Keep going lad .I have been training like Batman for 42 Years .I began my Martial Arts training at 13 I have studied all that I could and Mastered 5 .Hakaryu Jiu Jitsu ,Kenpo Karate (East Coast American Champion),Boxing (peekaboo style ) 7-3 Amateur , Kodokan Judo (World Masters Champion) , Renzo Gracie Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt . And I was an NYPD Detective assigned to Fugitive Enforcement and an International Police Officer and Trainer . Don't neglect your movement training as well . (Ito Portal style ). Remember this .fighting is not about moves , its about MOVEMENT . I would enjoy speaking with you further .Keep up the excellent work .
Ben played a great Batman, and his workout routine is good to add mass, and press ups with the rings will help, as it uses way more muscles for stability than regular ones, 👏your doing well .
One of the most informative and precise videos I have ever seen, good on you. You know how to computer program, you are good at martial arts, you are big, strong, fast, intelligent... You are like a mini-batman in training. Keep it up!
Adam Sinicki How do you find the motivation to train the way Batman would. I have a schedule planned out, but it is very hard to keep motivated considering all the distractions. I want to train 7 hours a day with the Dymaxion sleeping schedule and develop a photographic memory, but I can barely do everyman and keep motivated to finish my daily learning goals. I'm 15 years old by the way. How can I find the Iron Willpower that Batman had?
What people keep forgetting is that Bruce Wayne is literally a genius. His brain can process things much faster than the average human. He may very well be able to observe a technique and instantly master it. The same way geniuses quickly absorb the information they're taught in school and test out of a class, Batman could be doing the equivalent with martial arts training. With his obsessive training style and genius mind, it's very possible that Bruce Wayne could've mastered an entire martial art, after only a couple of weeks training in that particular style. However, I personally believe that Bruce Wayne went the Bruce Lee route: research your own experience, keep what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is essentially your own. In other words, I believe Bruce Wayne was exposed to 127 different martial arts (through both his instructors' teachings & the various opponents with whom he sparred), kept the techniques that worked for him personally, got rid of the techniques that didn't work for him, and added the "theatricality & deception" for which The Batman is known. #JeetKuneDo
4:57 there’s also the Uberman sleep schedule which inclines that you take 20 minute naps every four hours and when you go to sleep at night you fall immediately into rem sleep which means that you basically get a full nights rest in 2-3 hours
If batman did spend 15years training he would have somewhere around 60,000+ hours to train or 2,500days fully dedicated to becoming the batman. Considering Malcolm Gladwells 10,000 hours rule, I know I know it isn't a standard but a good metric none the less, Bruce would have 6 fields(6*10,000 hours) he could become world class(top 10%). 1. Martial Arts 2. Detective Skills 3. Soft skills & Survival skills 4. Math & Sciences 5. Strength + Agility + Endurance/speed 6. etc. you get the point.
Superior genetics Superior nutrition and Superior training combine all three of those along with the psychological personality of the Bruce Wayne and you got a pretty darn good representation of what an actual true Batman will be in real life
Excellent. Takes on what from an onlooker may be viewed as a jovial question but in reality deals directly with the question we all ask ourselves 'how am I to become a better Me ?"
Batman's martial arts thing is a bit tricky to look at. He most likely learnt a few core systems and then picked up substyles in bits. For example, he knows how to wrestle, but he probably learnt some greco roman, some sumo, some mexican etc. Also some of the stuff listed in his martial arts includes parkour, which isnt a martial art in the conventional sense.
I think we could do 1/4 of what he does. Learn 2 to 3 martial arts, get a few degrees and train decent. I've been doing some of that for a while and am about to crank it up. We all can become "The Sons of Batman".
If you ever decide to start a Batman Academy let me know, I would love to be a training partner and coach for the Academy! We could train people to be Real Life Super Heros together! This is a big passion of mine actually, just need a team filled with people like you!
Now in my mid-60's, I have no interest in training like Batman, or the entire Batman persona for that matter, but I am definitely interested in optimizing my health and fitness. The Bioneer video series has been very interesting for me, including looking at training from some different points if view, for example, the importance of hanging. Obtaining the sweet spot between training and optimal recovery is important for a 'senior' body as I have no need to be excessively sore or injured! Keep producing the videos - there is something in these videos for everyone, and the content of the videos challenges all of us to expand our concepts of fitness and training.
Both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson used(probably still use) the equivalent of a "safe steroid" developed by Wayne Tech. It was during the mid to late 90's if I remember correctly. It had slighty less effect than regular steroids, but none or little of the drawbacks. I mean, if i was a billionaire businessman who also was planning on being Batman, i'd probably try to push the med field with that as well.
I train like IBS Man - I'm gonna kick all kinds of ass once I finally get off the toilet. Seriously though, you're doing something that I've only recently stumbled upon. I was doing preset routines for a long time and, while I saw some gains, I wasn't seeing much. AND I WAS BORED OFF MY ASS. I decided to say screw it and make my own routine based on what I want. Did some research, got some goals, and wrote my own routine. I am so much happier training and I'm starting to see the gains I want to see!
Hey, man, I wanted to share some things with you... I am a fifth dan in Taekwondo, but I moved to Thailand a few years ago where the only adult striking in town is Muay Thai and Wado-kai. So last year I finished doing Muay Thai and have been training in Wado (Otsuka lineage, I think). It's fascinatingly different from. TKD (Korean Shotokan, but you didn't hear that from me) and it's grappling is very judo-like. I'm only a 7th kyu, but I hope to go test for a dan. Anyway, would love to see your martial arts! Second, the sleeping thing is a bit misleading. Those polyphasic sleep schedules aren't ideal for learning. The best way to cent learning is sleeping right hours after you attempt to memorize info. Physical recovery also requires REM sleep according to all research. It is very unlikely that polyphasic sleep confers a benefit for physical skill, strength, or intellectual value. And hey, do you know whatBatman would be if he consistently trained and learned just four martial arts to proficiency and one to mastery? 40. What he would be is 40. Also, consider that he may do roids!
Neat. Already doing lots of these things. :) Also a master of kung fu and working on ninjitsu and juijitsu. Need also to become incredibly wealthy, working on that too.
Keysi (kee-see) has not been abandoned. It has evolved twice since then (to defense lab and then now to Tritac), just like every martial art. It’s one of the best for modern day self defense. Best arts to learn in the pursuit of modern survival: Tritac or Krav Maga or Systema With Brazilian Jiu Jitsu And Wing Chun Boxing would be a great addition to this plan
Hey, are you actually trying to become Batman. if you are, keep it up man. increase your wealth and come darn close to becoming Batman or actually becoming a real life superhero. good luck on making a difference in the world
Randy Coutoure's training seems to have proven he's altered his metabolism so he doesn't produce much lactic acid and has no muscle fatigue which sounds very applicable, and if I caught details correctly this is done with very high rep exercises, not purely those but a large amount of them over-all.
I think batman started training when he was 14. And his age is around Lets say 36 years old that means he had basically 22 years of training. He trained with Alfred from 14 to 18 team. Alfred is a retired army special force from UK. And at the age of 18 when he finish high school he started traveling the world and dissapeared of Gotham for 10 years . So 10 years of training plus 4 with Alfred is 14. And 12 years of street practice in Gotham plus I suppose he trained everyday aswell.
I’ve reviewed all the content there is for becoming Batman and the best answer I’ve got so far is a “no” but you can get very close if you start at a young age. All depending on how much potential you have for intelligence, strength gaining and skill acquiring.
Batman does not need to train. Once peak performance is reached he maintains performance by DOING, not training. Batman could not train and fight crime, there is not enough time for physical recovery. Don't forget all of the steroids and hgh Bruce would be forced to take to maintain recovery as he aged.
You hit good points but here's the thing when rage and desire are your motivation and yes you have billions of dollars then there is not much to stop you. To be Batman though is beyond that. He basically has computer knowledge hacker like, he has police knowledge and homicide detective understanding. He is trained in multiple styles of Martial Arts predominately uses more of a true krav maga style on the street an a judo approach. To the league he uses a more karate or wing chun approach. He's built to the physical peak of human possibility and depending on the series your watching he is even an inventor and designer of his own weapons and armors. Finally along with strength he is the full aerobatic expert as well as escape artist.
For those of you checking out the comments now, it's not just a theory that Batman would break down his sleep into short bursts. It was confirmed in Grant Morrison's Batman run.
+Jason Bean Awesome! It's cool isn't it? It's a lot rarer to find, which is why I'm struggling to find somewhere to train in my new hometown. Thinking of starting wing chun instead...
Great video bro! Good editing and music too. One thing to help, check your color temperature on your camera to match what light your using. Keep the vids coming!
I think it would be very interesting if you do a video describing how you would spend days training and what training regime you would follow trying to seriously reach superhuman fitness level, "If" working and earning is not a concern.
Just because it stops the hit doesn't mean the force is stopped. The highest end motorcycle crash gear you can get still won't save you if someone cracks you with a BFH (big fluffy hammer), just like the best bullet resistant materials won't save you if you take a shotgun at point blank range. It can stop all the bullets sure, but the force will still cause massive damage to your bone structure and internal organs. Lets not even start on the force he takes using the grapple gun and ripping himself up buildings at the speeds he does. And if you're wearing the best impact gear and the best ballistic gear, you won't be going ANYWHERE fast or for any long duration
Eternal Horizons well I'm just going to say this if someone like George St-Pierre is wearing armor like Batman's then he would be able to take on a lot of people and I mean a lot
Just Another Guy true indeed with that D30 shock padding its like a real life vibrinium just not bullet proof ,but kevlar on it and titanium plates make it very powerful.
One thing I maybe remind people, is that Batman most likely and realistically wouldn't have learned 136 different martial arts and even if he did there's no way he would master that many different martial arts because if you were to meet any real master martial artist Ravenna Grandmaster or someone badass like Bruce Lee they would tell you the same thing I'm going to tell you and this is once you learn a certain amount of martial arts learning more will be contradictory to what you're trying to accomplish and that's becoming a better fighter being able to defend yourself better it's different if you're saying Batman did it for the sake of just knowing all these martial arts but being Batman I doubt he had the time to do that much learning of different martial arts because being as smart as Bruce Wayne is he would recognize as you start to become I'm at Mastery for your particular martial arts and then you move on to the next I don't care what type of martial arts you use you'll eventually start incorporating your own particular style within that martial arts for instance Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do because he realized that within his understanding of kung fu it was limited eating him as a fighter he knew that the only way to Eclipse his own fighting prowess and be better than he already was he knew that he was at the point where creating his own style for himself was much much better then knowing a hundred different styles of martial arts. For myself if I was looking into becoming a Batman martial artist you need to have a soft martial art (for instance Tai Chi) hard martial art for punching kicking and learning how to do those particular things in the perfect way for you. You would also need to learn a grappling method and Aikido jiu jitsu type martial art with just four that I have Incorporated I would certainly with the same mental acuity as someone else and physical acuity would surpass them in my opinion if I were to learn for martial arts or combination of a single martial art that had all those things that I mentioned while he was off learning his 137 I would eventually become a master of those particulars while he was learning his 137 styles and I guarantee I would just kick his ass before you even finished those hundred 37 styles because I would be focusing on behind the curtain things within the styles that only Masters and Grandmasters know about. Anyway, sorry about the run-on sentences and bad grammar I spoke into my phone for this. I almost forgot it would be best also similar to Robin Nightwing and many other human martial artist in the comics to learn some kind of weapon me personally I'd go Deadpool Style with a gun and a sword four different occasions obviously it's always good to have a backup plan
I will write it here, despite the Batman video has been around for some time. Quite ago, i tried myself to figure out Batman training. I decided at first wich martial arts he should have studied (never bought that crap about "127 martial arts to perfection"...), and then i was helped by this site maroonersrock.com/2012/10/the-martial-arts-of-batman/ wich is really eye-opening, and does truly make sense. Then i established a routine he should have followed: -from 10 (when his parents died) to 15 yrs: studied all the literature, maths and physics up to high school level, become good at athletics, artistic gymnastics (huge help for next to come), escapism, logic tests, some sports (skiing, scuba diving, parachuting), and boxing; -from 15 to 25 yrs travelled the world to study martial arts and other stuff, all the while attending college via correspondance course. Ok, it does not make MUCH sense, but let's say that he spent 16 hours a day, ANY day, divided in 8 hours of martial arts and 8 hours of study. That would still leave him 8 hours to rest and eat, wich is more than enough, and equally important. He's also a natural genius, 180 I.Q. with photographic memory, and the luck of being 6'2", and mesomorph; -therefore, he could have studied like 10 martial arts, and, if you consider it takes 7 years to get a Black Belt at, let's say, karate, generally training 4 hours a week, for 40 weeks at year, that will make roughly 1600 hours of study for a black belt, wich means that one year of practice, for 8 hours a day, any day, is something along the line of 2900 hours. So, he's at Ni-Dan level in 10 different martial arts, considering also each new one would be progressively easier to learn, and that he spontaneously combine them together; -and finally, also studying the other 8 hours a day, any day, for 10 years, being a natural genius, COULD have gotten him to get a degree in 2 years, instead of 3-4, wich means 5 degrees at the time he came back to Gotham. If i'm not mistaken, some databooks says Law, Economy, Mechanical Engineering, Criminal Psichology and Computer Technology; -oh, and i forgot he must have also learnt 8-10 languages, but i suppose he just mastered the language of any country he came to, plus a pair more; So, yes, becoming Batman is somewhat POSSIBLE, Bruce COULD have done something like that
TheGoogler77 Crap, i thought it worked. It divided martial arts for range and scope -long range: Shotokan Karate, Savate, Capoeira; -medium range: Goju Ryu Karate, Muay Thay, Panantukan (Philipino boxing), Boxe; -grappling: Judo/JuJitsu, Sambo, BJJ for ground work; -weapons: fencing, ninjutsu (all the samurai/ninja weaponry), kali (sticks, knives); probably i'm missing something but these are the main ones.
Also, it's implied in the comics Bruce became much better at anything by continuing to train and experimenting during his "active" Batman years. Even if he didn't have so much spare time, considering he divided himself between corporation business, his fake playboy life, and crimefighting (wich includes also time spent in Justice League, and training Robin). I suppose he continued experimenting with martial arts, improving his personal style, adding something else, like some chinese styles and concepts, and also perfected his detective ability, that he mastered almost exclusively during his active career, to the point he became the world's greatest detective. Lucius Fox still provides much of the gadgets, but Bruce certainly knows how to at least repair the tech and the batmobile, and how to hack computers at world class levels, he must also have created an archive of infos about anything that ever happened to him and the Justice League. Being Batman isn't an accomplishment, is a lifetime work
There are real masters out there who are great at a wide variety of martial arts. Yes, it involves some cross-training, but really it's more about studying the arts to a depth that most do not discover. When you can do this, you do master every martial art, all at once, figuratively speaking. This means that what you master is the principles of motion, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and energy. Once those are mastered, then all the martial arts feel like the same, just different points of emphasis on certain types of motion -- and once you develop the mind to see motion easily, then it all starts feeling like a simple matter. However, this kind of mastery also means growing a wisdom to know what things not to waste time on. Higher level martial arts requires more relaxation than tension, so some methods that rely too much on tension become deemphasized (like a muay thai kick), so you don't care to keep all martial arts related skills at an equally high level. DK Yoo would be an example of what I speak of. As far as the Uber-Man theory, I think it is ridiculous. It doesn't take into account that when your body and mind are exhausted after training, studying, and work, you need to rest for long chunks. Your body will make you. Plus, what, when Batman was training with all these different masters and experts would they sleep all night while Batman would awkwardly stay up all night training? What is much more likely is Batman is just like other dedicated polymaths (Benjamin Franklin, Averroes, etc) and just is very good at learning very quickly by recognizing patterns across different fields, learning what to focus on in training and what to ignore, so as to learn very quickly when it would take most others years to learn.
How many martial arts Batman knows: At a certain point, martial arts masters break out on their own. I suggest he put his prodigious brain to the task and applied his knowledge of anatomy and physics. When my anatomy instructor demonstrated muscle origins and insertions he did what he called "applied anatomy". It hurt, but his students consistently got the best test scores.
been a fan of this channel over 6 years now I think. I hope you only grow and get to that million sub mark! I've been following your Batman project ever since and will be proudly commenting on each
The reason Batman is able to master all the martial arts that he does is because he has perfect memory. His memory not only helps him in his fighting but also aids his already superior intelligence and detective work. It's extremely easy for him to learn and notice patterns, which gives him the ultimate advantage is every field he manipulates. If you have the will, the perseverance, and the memory, you can become Batman.
As far as Bruce Wayne / Bat Man is concerned I believe he took the Bruce Lee approach? Absorb what is useful and discard what is useless. That's how he studied all the Martial arts! and made up his own fighting method!
+Christian Williams Lol thanks a lot man! :-D I actually have a book on programming but I am currently working on some more interesting stuff :-) I'll be announcing it soon!
In the real world he wouldn't need to learn every martial art because they can all be broken down into three functional components. Striking, grappling, and wrestling. By mastering those three, and understanding the biomechanics of the human body you could theoretically become the most effective martial artist in the world.
Hey man! Seems like you really took the time to make this video and just wanted to give you my personal thoughts. I'd personally say that for the martial arts aspect you should learn BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai and Wrestling/Judo. On top of that it is a good idea to add in a martial art that focuses on weapons. You would definitely want to train full body or upper lower with an undulated or concurrent periodization with a mix of compound movements and gymnastics. As for cardio it would definitely have to be a variety or different things with an emphasis on running and swimming which would make it very hard to excel at when you're trying to become stronger AND a skilled fighter. All in all I would have to say it is impossible but a fun target to shoot for!
Batman's training was in no way short. He trained basically from the age of 8 from when his parents were murdered to age 22 when he returned to Gotham city. That's a whole lotta time to learn.
My in part assessment of Batman. Batman uses the bathroom before patrol so he isn't going while a crime is happening. He likely gives himself a enema so his Bowls are empty for the night. This also keeps him from getting diarrhea when poisoned as he is poisoned quite a bit. He is very hydrated which means he is urinating a lot. He could just go while sneaking around on roof tops and alleyways. Batsuit most likely has a zipper. He has had his teeth knocked out on several occasions and due to years of fighting and with extreme force to the face his likely has a lot of missing teeth he has replaced with implants. Being rich this is easy for him. He would also get plastic surgery to remove any scars on his face for public image and so he is harder to id as Batman. Batman is extremely strong and can bench press around 600 to 1000 lb. There are some training methods that maximize strength while minimizing muscle size. He is big but not the size of a strong man. He would do this to keep his muscle size down for his gymnastics, parkour and fight speed. Too big of muscles would hinder him. He uses Electric muscle stimulators to help him farther his effort. Batman has a strict diet but is not obsessed and often eats Alfred's elegant meals or a business lunch. A long with this he takes vitamin supplements. Due to his chemistry and biology skill and education he may have created a performance enhancer with no negative side effects to boost his physical performance. On nights Batman does Patrol he doesn't max out his workout so he has energy left over to fight crime. He would have to take nights off to recover from injuries and he has taken nights off before just for a break. His Batsuit regardless of it being "Titanium dipped tri weave" or anything else it would be hot and he would overheat quickly. Gotham is depicted as being a cold city so it may not be as bad as most areas.He has learned meditations that help him control his body temperature, pain and speed up his healing. Gaining a Black Belt takes 5 years and those really dedicated have been known to do it in 3 years, Taking 2 martial art classes per day Bruce could learn pretty quickly. Being a genius wouldn't help learn a marital art because you need to develop muscle memory. Sorry this is long so I will end it here.
Everything is Difficult by Choice. Choose to made it difficult and it will be difficult. Choose to make it easy and it will be easy. Will power is the only Key.
For Batman, I'd recommend traditional strength training + gymnastics + and free running. To allow for maxium use of strength, agility, and fluidity. Than add martial arts.
Croc Gator agreed
Croc Gator Bruce Lee would kick Batman in his nutsack...Makes more sense to train like Bruce Lee than Bruce Wayne the dude that never was in existence.
Uh? Why are you bringing up something irrelevant? The video is about Batman, so why would you bring up Bruce Lee?
Croc Gator Cause trolls like him just like to start a argument lol
Croc Gator I go fucking karate 🥋 and taekwondo 🥋
Batman, peak physical human condition, genius level IQ, speaks 30 languages, has mastered 127 martial arts styles, great detective, and experience and skill in all forms of detective work (forensics, puzzle solving, physiological motives, etc.) mastered almost every weapon known to man, speed reader, constantly power naps or micro sleeps, goes days without sleep etc. master strategist and has numbers of gadgets all designed to be small, compact, and sleek, even inputting them into his suit, amazing knowledge of pressure points and human weakspots allowing to hit hard in the right area and protect himself properly. High pain resistance and has hacked into alien technology. There's probably more but thas what I can think of right now.
Also an amazing marksman, with a number of weapons even guns, although he doesn't use them. You've mentioned a few more things but that's about it.
Also an escape artist and gymnast.
LazerCat L We can be like him, idk ablut the martial arts part
Only what an average human being knows from school to university!!!!
TariqBrowne and yeah Fucking Plot Armor
Batman was first rich so he could invest all his time in training. Do the same. First get passive income.
That is what I'm working on! And that is why! :-P
NoCultist the one thing I don't understand is he's big as a bodybuilder which I don't like it I like it when Batman is Slim and lean like in the old days because it makes more sense because if you're going to be as agile as Batman you would want a more functional body
+Just Another Guy
Than go for more Batman Beyond style and develop super high-tech batsuit that will increase your strength.
+ The Bioneer . I think it would be very interesting if you do a video describing how you would spend days training and what training regime you would follow trying to reach superhuman fitness level, "If" working and earning is not a concern.
FACTS!
There's only so many ways to punch and kick someone. one theory is that after learning 4 or 5 styles. He only had to learn the cultural nuances and special techniques of a new style to master it.
I have always said this. Agreed 100%.
DarthArachnious he uses boxing muay thai krav maga judo karate kung fu ninjuitsu wrestling and tai kwon do the most I think but he knows 127 different styles
Presumably he started learning martial arts when he was 8. He began his sojourn when he was 14 according to Year 1.I would assume he knew all the styles when he became Batman at, 25 was it? But didn't put it all together till after he started his career.
Joe King Bruce would do his research before engaging in any training. He wouldn't just hop from one martial art to another, he would have a carefully designed plan, based on the known roots of each martial art and how some of them connect, in such a way that he would learn and master the techniques that had the most carry over to other arts first.
He would quickly learn how to identify useless techniques and discard them, in order to be more effective. He would constantly challenge skilled fighters of each art, and he would dedicate a few hours to combine his skills from different schools, creating effective combos and testing them. As he transitioned from one art to another, there would be way less things to learn, and even fewer worth learning.
I'm sure he wouldn't loose his time learning an art that wouldn''t add much to his skill book. If Aikido was a priority on his list, it would receive the attention it deserved. You have to understand this is a man with so much practice, knowledge and dedication that learning new motor skills would be routine.
Finally, he wouldn't only learn from martial arts masters. He would seek special operations training too. He would also seek the best underground fighters he could find and train with them and against them. I'm willing to bet he would engage in illegal underground fights, implementing his wide array of skills against the most vicious people, without rules.
This is the way I believe the Batman style of fighting would be born. He wouldn't need to think, he would react with whatever technique was the most appropriate to a certain situation based on experience and practice. He wouldn't need 127 martial arts under his belt, but his own style.
Your not wrong, it would be quick to learn other forms of say Karate after learning the first one to many similarities same for judo or bjj. Besides as they say there is nothing new in martial arts, most of the stuff coming out today is just a different spin on something that has been omitted from a current art.(i.e.) pre ww2 judo where there was still striking versus today's judo where they have stopped teaching strikes. Military systems are even easier due to the fact they will be stripped down of anything that is not effective, but the problem is also they are made to maim or kill, not for capturing. Now would he learn holds; yes from juijitsu or anything like that, but again only so many ways to do things. just my opinion.
I think an important consideration is that Batman's overall fitness/performance only needs to operate within a certain threshold in order to do the things Batman does. He wouldn't necessarily need to be performing at peak human potential 100% of the time, in fact for some villains/circumstances he may not need to. He may devote his time developing only the skills necessary to overcome the challenge in front of him... because that's what Batman does.
Most of his villains are wusses, so he doesn't need to be in peak condition to beat the Mad Hatter, Riddler or the Penguin.
Im training 3-4 times a day im ambidextrous and that helps me a lot but you dont have to be to fight good and i can assure you the human body is incredible thing ,ive trained rock climbing in the university also muay thai (the rock climbing is incredible and i recommend it to everybody its fun ), now im training boxing and mma with proper diet (actually mine is very strict) , Batman is incredible inspiration as a human being,nothing is impossible even his intelligence the catch here is how much you are able to chew against from yourself to yourself and die in yourself many times to accomplish his achievements and dont forget that he has very big heart.
From what I know from the comics, he had been training his mind from 10 years old to prevent himself from ever being mind controlled, and to be as smart as possible. He started physically training himself when he was 11, starting with blood doping, and using machines and electric currents to increase his physical strength and endurance. He made sure his diet was sufficient with Alfred's help. Like you said, though, he had the amazing income to provide the resources for these.
Can you explain how electric current enhances endurance?
Comic Batman is more of the unrealistic Batman which is confusing as to why people keep mentioning the Batman in the comics. The Batman in the comics is just for the comics, if you want to see a more realistic Batman take a look at the dark knight movies because that’s as real as it gets.
So he would basically had no time to fight crime
Mark Urban basically
Mark Urban Exactly
Mark Urban batman spent his entire childhood training before he actually became batman
Mark Urban I mean hell help he was in the fbi at the age of 16 lol
Only in off days.
I think we can all universally agree that, currently, no human being can do what Batman does in the comics. Even the most dedicated and most seasoned Olympic athletes would simply pale in comparison to what Bruce Wayne has done.
Let's face it. The man is strong enough to bench press more than 1000 pounds with no issue at all, while simultaneously possessing gymnastic skills so good that they'll make Simone Biles wet in her pants. Plus, he's fast enough to dodge and evade gunfire like it's second nature to him, and he's managed to walk away from physical damage that would severely injure, and even kill, any other human.
To put it bluntly, if someone like Batman were to exist in real life, he or she would be the genetic freak among genetic freaks, and even that's underselling it a bit.
that pretty much sums it up nicely.
YEP
Nowhere in any comic does it claim Bruce Wayne can bench 1000 pounds. If you're going to make a post like this (which is overall correct) make sure it is 100% accurate.
@@MeliorIlle the world record bench press is around 1000 pounds (quick google search puts it at 1075 lbs . If Batman's whole thing is that he performs at the extreme limits of human ability (seeing as he is the go-to example for Peak Human in DC), I don't think saying that can bench 1000 pounds is inaccurate. Whether or not he can bench that much without issue should be the point of contention.
@@jackagjonraw4274 No proof of Batman benching 1,000 pounds.
What about the most important and underrated part of Batman's human peak? The brain. The hardest part is to train the mind. He is an aexpert in psychology, investigation, science, engineering, everything, basically.
He is not just muscles, he is a genius. And its pretty much impossible to be all that in a single lifetime
This whole video was almost completly focused on becoming as smart as him
It's all about the mindset , combine your mind with your body as one and always be positive but don't let your emotions control you , i think what you are doing is absolutely AWESOME and i think you CAN become batman if you really THINK you can and have the determination and dedication Adam :) this is what life is about being happy and doing what you want keep it up friend
Is no one gonna talk about becoming better than batman..
#SurpassBatman
@just some guy without a mustache this is a world of endless possibilities..!
nothin' is impossible..!
but if you believe something is impossible, you'll definitely will never be able to do it..!
Bruce Was never positive tho.
Steroids are not used just to increase body mass and muscle, but also to speed up recovery.
I think that the original 1939 Batman was the most realistic. He was basically just a super ripped guy that knew Judo, Jujitsu, and Boxing. And was a crazy good detective and scientist.
Bruce Wayne spent his younger years traveling the world training and learning. He did not become Batman until he was trained to a level that he could actually be the Batman. Being a Billionaire helps.
I do have a bit of a note here. I don't usually do youtube comments and for those who may disagree I do not usually read these so just save your time but I do have just a food for thought comment. I do study martial arts quite passionately and one way Batman could learn so many different styles is by what I have called a bleed over effect. Both my senseis have talked about this. In simple terms it is this.
The human body only has so many variations it can move or move another body in combat. Many different martial arts actually teach very similar techniques with only slight variations. Punches, kicks, grapples, conditioning are not as different as you may think. Take boxing, which will teach you how to punch very well. Lets say you box for a while and get good at it but may want to learn say Ju Jitsu. Well you do the classes and the sensei starts to go over punching but because you have that boxing experience, your punching is already going to be good and will need very little to no work adjusting to the new style. This is how Batman can learn so many styles.
Lets say he stared with a well rounded set like a variation of Kung Fu for offensive techniques, Ju Jitsu for ground work and grappling, and lets say a wrestling/boxing combo for conditioning and aggressive combat training. Well if he were to go all out as Batman does and master all these disciplines and lets say it takes him a ton of time like normal lets say 5 years if he went all out and did nothing else. Well now the skills he learned in these styles will translate very well into any other style he may try and he will have to spend significantly less time learning that style because he already knows a lot of prior techniques and the human body can only move or fight in a certain way. So if he were to go to learn maybe Karate or MMA, he would already know how to punch, kick, grapple, condition, do combos, etc based on the prior knowledge and would only need to dedicate time to learning the specific variations based on more advanced techniques and considering his prior knowledge that would take far less time.
So to say he knows all of them yah is farfetched just because like mentioned the world of martial arts is constantly evolving and everyone can come up with their own variation. But to say he knows 127 may not be as impossible when considered. Because after you've learned 3-5 well rounded martial arts then you have the ability to learn more and more quickly so it wont take years or 10,000 hours to master a new discipline because maybe 7,000 of those hours is stuff you already know.
Like I said. I don't read these nor do I normally write them so save yourself the trouble if you disagree. I'm putting this more out there for food for thought. Anyway have a good day on the interwebs.
Thanks for the info, gotta use it for myself
This was awesome! Looks like, we're both training like Batman already, to a certain degree. What do you think Batman's macros would be?
Thanks! Yeah I guess you could say that :-P My wife would probably disagree... Lol not sure, he's supposed to eat something like 4,000+ calories a day so all of them would be pretty huge! He'd eat a ton of protein for all that training and he'd probably want a fair amount of carbohydrates just to supply the energy... Loads of everything!
For maintenance I would estimate Batman's macros to be:
Protein: 230g
Carbs: 570g
Fats: 90g
This is based on a 4000 kcal maintenance level and a bodyweight of 210lbs. Protein is slightly higher than I would recommend for a normal person due to the extra stress Batman's body goes through in training and fighting. Carbs are as high as possible for maximum energy while allowing fats to remain at the lowest possible healthy level.
Everybody is different so Batman would have to adjust his macros based on energy levels and how he feels, but this would be a good starting point.
I'm late to the discussion, but after calculating his BMI, muscle percentage, estimating his metabolism as well as daily activity, my estimate for his daily macros is "yes."
@@Tmanowns best answer
Batman's real superpower is being rich. He is undeniably a uniquely gifted individual, but even the best athletes in the world need to train. Batman's real boon is the fact that he is able to spend all his time studying and training, probably with the best programs and tutors in the world. Everything else is details.
TheElMuffin
-Justice League movie reference much?-
I think batman is born a meta human, for example in the movies when u see him as a child u think" wow that kid is Bruce Wayne he I gonna grow up to be the most dangerous human in the planet"
I'd say sort of yes. The fact that he us super rich allows him the time to train. It would also cover travel costs and such.
Everything else is purely him tho
Just because he is rich doesn't mean he didn't put a TON of training and planning into it
When referring to Bruce Wayne's skills in the Martial Arts, it's true that no one could learn all of them. At least, not separately. During the years that he spent overseas, he was pretty much "off the grid" for several years because he was visiting remote places...Those few places where the root-core of all martial arts styles originated. He learned not only how to recognize the many styles that exist today, but can also counter against them while mixing & matching the styles. In effect, he knows the branches because he knows the roots of the whole tree.
But above all, if Bruce Wayne has any "super powers" at all, it was the wealth he inherited...With his wealth, he did not have to waste time or effort on providing for his basic living, like food, clothing or shelter that can consume most others. He could travel to where he wanted, afford the colleges he wanted, the wealth of the Wayne Foundation already provided him with with connections & contacts so that he could find anything or anyone he wanted. Wealth is indeed its own super power, which is how Tony Stark could become Iron Man. But if you take away Stark's suit & the wealth/resources to make another suit, he's just an ordinary, average person. Bruce Wayne without Batman's gadgets & vehicles is still an extremely formidable human being.
harvey dent......
can we trust him
Haha! Best Batman!
sahfdjfa
Lmao
WHHEREEEEEEEEE AREEEE THE DRUUUUUUUGS
IM BATMANMNNNNNW
I think Batman knows every class of martial art but not every sub class.
I do know he started with Boxing, then built off that.
DeltoidZ 3814 Depends on the Batman too.
The argument in the book _Becoming Batman_ is that Batman has essentially studied an advanced form of Ninjutsu, which incorporates Striking [hands, feet, knees, elbows, head,], Grappling, joint manipulation, mental discipline and weapons in various ranges. This to me makes more sense; Batman learning Ninjutsus basically means he has access to no fwere than 12-18 genres of specific technique, from Taijutsu body techniques [the various direct fighting arts] to 6 different, applicable weapon's schools [Bojutsu/stick fighting, shurikenjutsu/knife throwing, kenjutsu/swordfighting] other body techniques [Kopojutsu- bone breaking and healing] and skills in infiltration and espionage. I figure this would be batman's "base" art, especially considering it shows how there are variations of ninja techniques within different schools.
Add to that some more power-based fighting styles [Muay Ty, Kyukoshin or Goju Karate, Hang Gar Kung Fu, Boxing], a speed style [Wu Shu, Kali] an adaptable style [Jeet Kun Do] and some form of CQC [Krav Maga, Special forces training] and he'd basically be covered in most _fighting_ aspects. That still doesn't take into account the other disciplines such as body control, pain tolerance, escape artistry and the other skills like driving, acrobatics, hang gliding, rapelling etc which he'd need to complete his purely physical skills set. Then of course, there are the *mental* disciplines...
This video here gives a good account of his fighting techniques, at least.
ruclips.net/video/l3XXL1bK-fU/видео.html
Well, Boxing the base to basically all hand-to-hand combat martial arts, along with combat shooting and even archery.
I like how a huge part of this video was focused on brain plasticity, learning and sleep. Things a lot of "how to be Batman" videos don't mention. I've been a Batman fan my entire life, it definetly influenced my choice of study and hobbies (investigative methods, martial arts). Probably could've used some of those supplements in college, made out alright nonetheless lol.
Why Batman can do all those things is not only the obvious fact that he is Batman, it's the fact that the motivation behind what he does is always greater than the amount of work he does. The end of his world is the sound of two gun shots.
Definitely, motiviation, focus and passion is what makes it all (theoretically) possible.
278haris and one thing the point out that if you want to be as good as Batman you would need to be training for centuries to get that knowledge so let's say you somehow don't age and you're in your Prime you could get on his level with enough training but it would take a couple centuries maybe even more
Because of my body type I'm trying to become more like Nightwing because I'm naturally skinny and I don't put on muscles easily so I really trying to focus on performances, endurance,flexibility, and agility with some strength training
Nicholas Sims actually after some time Your body would evantually become more muscelar and then you would be Batman😂
Alp Mete Öztürk what I miss about Batman is that he used to have a more Slimmer body which made his body look realistic because if you were going to fight crime like Batman you wouldn't want to be too muscular you would want to be more functional
3-5 rounds of strength training a week. Medium weight at 50 reps per round. You should have excellent muscle tone/ strength/ endurance in about a month maybe two depending on your body type
Batman and Nightwing are built the same. This is why Nightwing can bear the cowl and pass for Batman. What separates them is that Nightwing is more knowledgeable as an acrobat as he's been an acrobat since he could stand. He's not physically leaner.
Ive decided to become more like "Too Much Coffee Man."
ZiplineShazam I'm following you on that path. We are the heroes the world needs...

In respect to Batman and knowing "all" the martial arts, I can tell you that you have to take a few points under consideration when it comes to Batman fighting. One, is that there is no one martial art that is better or the best. But can become familiar with a few and know some defensive counter moves. Also, there was something that Ben Affleck said about training for the Batman role and it was this, "I trained until I built this muscular body, then I took it one step further and created this Brawler like body". This would tell you that Batman had the bulk to take an initial hit from a martial artist and then adjust--never mind that he would have to do this while encountering a meta-human. Also if you look at Batman v Superman he was taking a beating as he was giving one. Also take under consideration that all the thugs he encounters during the night while on patrol were not martial artist.
The reality is if Batman would have really undergone all the training that is speculated for him to have went through he would not only be Peak human but he would be far beyond any regular ordinary man he would be borderline superhuman. He'd be doing the kind of things that you see Captain America doing or even on a level higher than that, people in the special forces come close to a Batman level but they're not even the most developed or cultivated people in the world. People in different societies isolated from what we would call modern civilization do all kinds of paranormal things and reach states that are seemingly unattainable. Batman's character is used to inspire the fact that there is no limit to which the human body can be worked without the writers really depicted how borderlinely superhuman he would actually be to keep him relatable to everyday people, that's the appeal of his character although it's not rooted in total fact. Batman has developed many powers to become who and what he is that just aren't seemingly blatant physical superpowers but they're extraordinary life skills and internal developments that are actually useful in the everyday world and make you seemingly unstoppable in real life. He has the power of internment, he has the power of ultra and altruistic character, he has the power of omnidimensional personality, he has the power of variety, hyper analysis, adaptability, indomitable will, superhuman genius, ambidextry, combat expertise, abnormal athleticism, infinite patience, incorruptability, unpredictability etc the list goes on these traits are just overlooked in the fictional Universe because they seem to pale in comparison to Godlike beings. Batman is no slouch and a very attainable goal in this world or the fictional one.
Kael Edmond Listen, if its Human, anyone can do it
I like what you said but being Batman is far beyond anyones reach. look at all the traits and skills you just listed. Can anyone really accomplish/get those skills in the modern world?
Kael Edmond I agree that a lot of people don't focus as much on the psychological and mental aspects of Batman.
Kael Edmond makes me wonder if a person couldn't age and that person was in his prime how far could that person get with just training imagine if that person trains for a thousand years
Batman can lift about 1000 lbs and do leg bench press of 2500,thats borderline superhuman aka peak human physical capabilities
His official martial art of study was classical ninjitsu, which encompasses striking and grappling in various forms. If you cannot find a ninjitsu school, finding a traditional Japanese jujitsu school that teaches old-school is also good.
Imagine the concussions alone. That would put anyone out of commission pretty quickly. I don't care how tough his armor is. He's taking punches from all sorts of super-powered beings.
Very true - in a real fight one good hit to the head can cause some serious long term damage and end it immediately. In films and cartoons they take so many blows!
Ommmm yes the is real
Another thing that always gets me about Batman is that he has insane stamina. Think about it, we literally never see the man pant or sweat unless the author/writer/animator really wants to make a point of showing how beat down, broken or just old he is, and that’s one of the craziest aspects of him to me
He doesn't need to know every single style of martial arts, he just needs to be able to fight in any and all situations and/or environments. A person with Bruce's genius would have deduced this in order to maximize and streamline his training.
So true
Batman is a metahuman because his physical abilities defy the laws of physics or the laws of physics are different in the BvS/Nolan Universe at which point it doesn't matter whether Wayne is human or not.
Example
BvS Universe.
Saving Martha Scene: Throws guy into wall while remaining stationary himself (Batman would have to weigh over 400 lbs in order to remain stationary as he picks up and generates sufficient torque to throw the victim into the wall). Note: If he had 'super grippy boots' then the torque would transfer to the wood flooring and rip the flooring to pieces.
Punches guy so hard that the victims head smashes into the wood flooring (He would break a bone in hand, wrist, arm or dislocate a knuckle generating that much force).
Impaling guy with grapple gun and then pulling the victim through the air for an elbow punch (Batman would have to weigh over 400 lbs in order to remain upright as the grapple gun generates enough force to pull the 180 lbs victim through the air).
Batman vs Doomsday: The speed at which the grapple gun pulled batman off the ground onto a building and off the side of the building would dislocate a shoulder. Remember this is a 240 lb object going from 0-80 mph instantly.
The Nolan Universe is a little less unrealistic than the BvS but one quick error in TDK where Batman goes flying off a building to save his love who was just dropped by the Joker. The batsuit could not prevent his organs from turning into mush as he landed on top of the car because his organs were moving at the same velocity as his body and would impact against his rib cage.
Screenwriter! Rewrite! Somebody bring in a doctor and a physicist as technical advisors!
Another aspect that this video does not address about becoming Batman is that it's a path of which there are very many ways to attain. The general concept behind Batman is someone whose a jack of all trades, but a master of very few to none and there are literally billions of people walking around in the world who fit that criteria from all walks of life. A person wouldn't have to do the exact methods for the exact amount of time that the comics or different media has depicted Bruce Wayne doing to become Batman in order for them to become like this character, that level of prowess is attainable in a variety of circumstances.
Keep going lad .I have been training like Batman for 42 Years .I began my Martial Arts training at 13 I have studied all that I could and Mastered 5 .Hakaryu Jiu Jitsu ,Kenpo Karate (East Coast American Champion),Boxing (peekaboo style ) 7-3 Amateur , Kodokan Judo (World Masters Champion) , Renzo Gracie Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Blackbelt . And I was an NYPD Detective assigned to Fugitive Enforcement and an International Police Officer and Trainer . Don't neglect your movement training as well . (Ito Portal style ). Remember this .fighting is not about moves , its about MOVEMENT . I would enjoy speaking with you further .Keep up the excellent work .
What is the best way to learn all of these as quickly as possible
KICK-ASS :D
+JaxBlade Thanks man!! This is day-making :-D
Adam Sinicki fake
I see you nearly everywhere. -_-‘
Oh hey dude! You should start a video series about you training to become essentially a superhero or whatever!
JaxBlade vs Bioneer?
Awesome video, I lost it at: "this is the biomobile....just kidding, my wife and I call this the dutchess because it's old.....and stately" haha
+Trevor Heim Thanks! Haha yeah, it couldn't be further from a Batmobile sadly!
Ben played a great Batman, and his workout routine is good to add mass, and press ups with the rings will help, as it uses way more muscles for stability than regular ones, 👏your doing well .
One of the most informative and precise videos I have ever seen, good on you. You know how to computer program, you are good at martial arts, you are big, strong, fast, intelligent... You are like a mini-batman in training. Keep it up!
+Ammar Siddiqui Lol thanks a ton man! I wish my wife saw it that way :-P
Adam Sinicki How do you find the motivation to train the way Batman would. I have a schedule planned out, but it is very hard to keep motivated considering all the distractions. I want to train 7 hours a day with the Dymaxion sleeping schedule and develop a photographic memory, but I can barely do everyman and keep motivated to finish my daily learning goals. I'm 15 years old by the way. How can I find the Iron Willpower that Batman had?
DO NOT train 7 hours a day, you'll die
What people keep forgetting is that Bruce Wayne is literally a genius. His brain can process things much faster than the average human. He may very well be able to observe a technique and instantly master it. The same way geniuses quickly absorb the information they're taught in school and test out of a class, Batman could be doing the equivalent with martial arts training. With his obsessive training style and genius mind, it's very possible that Bruce Wayne could've mastered an entire martial art, after only a couple of weeks training in that particular style. However, I personally believe that Bruce Wayne went the Bruce Lee route: research your own experience, keep what is useful, discard what is useless, and add what is essentially your own. In other words, I believe Bruce Wayne was exposed to 127 different martial arts (through both his instructors' teachings & the various opponents with whom he sparred), kept the techniques that worked for him personally, got rid of the techniques that didn't work for him, and added the "theatricality & deception" for which The Batman is known. #JeetKuneDo
In order to learn all that Batman would need to at least have photographic memory which would make it possible to accomplish that skill set.
The best Batman kinda Parkour,Four running,boxing,wrestling,martial arts,self defense,gymnastics,etc..
4:57 there’s also the Uberman sleep schedule which inclines that you take 20 minute naps every four hours and when you go to sleep at night you fall immediately into rem sleep which means that you basically get a full nights rest in 2-3 hours
This guy knows exactly what he's talking about I just subscribed.
Thanks! Welcome aboard :-D
Awesome!
Hey, but if Batman is this hard to do, is being Arrow from the TV show possible? Could you possibly make a video on that?
Cool idea, added to the list :-D
Adam Sinicki how tall are you
To be The Green Arrow you also need to be a billionaire and he has a superpower being a perfect marksman Archer
Dane Parsons that's not a superpower
loot dood if you've shot a bow you might disagree
If batman did spend 15years training he would have somewhere around 60,000+ hours to train or 2,500days fully dedicated to becoming the batman. Considering Malcolm Gladwells 10,000 hours rule, I know I know it isn't a standard but a good metric none the less, Bruce would have 6 fields(6*10,000 hours) he could become world class(top 10%).
1. Martial Arts
2. Detective Skills
3. Soft skills & Survival skills
4. Math & Sciences
5. Strength + Agility + Endurance/speed
6. etc.
you get the point.
Superior genetics Superior nutrition and Superior training combine all three of those along with the psychological personality of the Bruce Wayne and you got a pretty darn good representation of what an actual true Batman will be in real life
Excellent. Takes on what from an onlooker may be viewed as a jovial question but in reality deals directly with the question we all ask ourselves 'how am I to become a better Me ?"
Bat man Studies mma which is a mix martial arts that in includes punching kicking grappling and whistling and submitting the appointment
I did shouri shoto ryu karate which is strikes grappling and weapons, good if you want to be an assassin or like batman.
Batman's martial arts thing is a bit tricky to look at. He most likely learnt a few core systems and then picked up substyles in bits. For example, he knows how to wrestle, but he probably learnt some greco roman, some sumo, some mexican etc. Also some of the stuff listed in his martial arts includes parkour, which isnt a martial art in the conventional sense.
I think we could do 1/4 of what he does. Learn 2 to 3 martial arts, get a few degrees and train decent. I've been doing some of that for a while and am about to crank it up. We all can become "The Sons of Batman".
he was so supposed to have learned healing techniques from Tibetan monks in the comics.
If you ever decide to start a Batman Academy let me know, I would love to be a training partner and coach for the Academy! We could train people to be Real Life Super Heros together! This is a big passion of mine actually, just need a team filled with people like you!
the kaysi fighting style has definitely not been abondoned as tom cruise still practises it for his movies
Now in my mid-60's, I have no interest in training like Batman, or the entire Batman persona for that matter, but I am definitely interested in optimizing my health and fitness. The Bioneer video series has been very interesting for me, including looking at training from some different points if view, for example, the importance of hanging. Obtaining the sweet spot between training and optimal recovery is important for a 'senior' body as I have no need to be excessively sore or injured! Keep producing the videos - there is something in these videos for everyone, and the content of the videos challenges all of us to expand our concepts of fitness and training.
This is gold!!!!! Would love for you to add all of these resources and techniques and tips into a book form! I’d purchase it immediately!
+Duke Wonder Thanks! That is good to hear as I'm working on something like that right now! :-)
Both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson used(probably still use) the equivalent of a "safe steroid" developed by Wayne Tech. It was during the mid to late 90's if I remember correctly. It had slighty less effect than regular steroids, but none or little of the drawbacks. I mean, if i was a billionaire businessman who also was planning on being Batman, i'd probably try to push the med field with that as well.
Pretty sure, Bruce Wayne has regular Stem Cell Therapy thing
I train like IBS Man - I'm gonna kick all kinds of ass once I finally get off the toilet.
Seriously though, you're doing something that I've only recently stumbled upon. I was doing preset routines for a long time and, while I saw some gains, I wasn't seeing much. AND I WAS BORED OFF MY ASS. I decided to say screw it and make my own routine based on what I want. Did some research, got some goals, and wrote my own routine. I am so much happier training and I'm starting to see the gains I want to see!
Great video. That smile when he says he's trying to become like batman 15:29
Hey, man, I wanted to share some things with you...
I am a fifth dan in Taekwondo, but I moved to Thailand a few years ago where the only adult striking in town is Muay Thai and Wado-kai. So last year I finished doing Muay Thai and have been training in Wado (Otsuka lineage, I think). It's fascinatingly different from. TKD (Korean Shotokan, but you didn't hear that from me) and it's grappling is very judo-like. I'm only a 7th kyu, but I hope to go test for a dan. Anyway, would love to see your martial arts!
Second, the sleeping thing is a bit misleading. Those polyphasic sleep schedules aren't ideal for learning. The best way to cent learning is sleeping right hours after you attempt to memorize info. Physical recovery also requires REM sleep according to all research. It is very unlikely that polyphasic sleep confers a benefit for physical skill, strength, or intellectual value.
And hey, do you know whatBatman would be if he consistently trained and learned just four martial arts to proficiency and one to mastery?
40.
What he would be is 40.
Also, consider that he may do roids!
Neat. Already doing lots of these things. :) Also a master of kung fu and working on ninjitsu and juijitsu.
Need also to become incredibly wealthy, working on that too.
+Friis Forge Haha you and me both!
Friis Forge read rich dad poor dad
Friis Forge i ike the way youre thinking man. Im working on parkour and learning muy thai
Well you won't be able to do true ninjitsu
Friis Forge good for you
thought i was bout to get sum financial advice too.... id love to have B.Wayne's BANK ACCT!!
KoolKatBeatz have rich parents. have them shot. MILLIONS
Jonathan Perez billions
I am doing the skill day that you mentioned on the video and it's been very good thanks for the awesome video
Keysi (kee-see) has not been abandoned. It has evolved twice since then (to defense lab and then now to Tritac), just like every martial art. It’s one of the best for modern day self defense. Best arts to learn in the pursuit of modern survival:
Tritac or Krav Maga or Systema
With
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
And
Wing Chun
Boxing would be a great addition to this plan
I would've paid money to see Nolan's Batman Vs Zack's Batman. That would've been a very short fight...
That would make a good Deathmatch video!
Hey, are you actually trying to become Batman. if you are, keep it up man. increase your wealth and come darn close to becoming Batman or actually becoming a real life superhero. good luck on making a difference in the world
Randy Coutoure's training seems to have proven he's altered his metabolism so he doesn't produce much lactic acid and has no muscle fatigue which sounds very applicable, and if I caught details correctly this is done with very high rep exercises, not purely those but a large amount of them over-all.
I think batman started training when he was 14. And his age is around Lets say 36 years old that means he had basically 22 years of training. He trained with Alfred from 14 to 18 team. Alfred is a retired army special force from UK. And at the age of 18 when he finish high school he started traveling the world and dissapeared of Gotham for 10 years . So 10 years of training plus 4 with Alfred is 14. And 12 years of street practice in Gotham plus I suppose he trained everyday aswell.
I’ve reviewed all the content there is for becoming Batman and the best answer I’ve got so far is a “no” but you can get very close if you start at a young age. All depending on how much potential you have for intelligence, strength gaining and skill acquiring.
I am totally gonna do this
Batman does not need to train. Once peak performance is reached he maintains performance by DOING, not training. Batman could not train and fight crime, there is not enough time for physical recovery. Don't forget all of the steroids and hgh Bruce would be forced to take to maintain recovery as he aged.
You hit good points but here's the thing when rage and desire are your motivation and yes you have billions of dollars then there is not much to stop you. To be Batman though is beyond that. He basically has computer knowledge hacker like, he has police knowledge and homicide detective understanding. He is trained in multiple styles of Martial Arts predominately uses more of a true krav maga style on the street an a judo approach. To the league he uses a more karate or wing chun approach. He's built to the physical peak of human possibility and depending on the series your watching he is even an inventor and designer of his own weapons and armors. Finally along with strength he is the full aerobatic expert as well as escape artist.
For those of you checking out the comments now, it's not just a theory that Batman would break down his sleep into short bursts. It was confirmed in Grant Morrison's Batman run.
I studied Wado-Ryu!:) I knew we had something in common.
+Jason Bean Awesome! It's cool isn't it? It's a lot rarer to find, which is why I'm struggling to find somewhere to train in my new hometown. Thinking of starting wing chun instead...
Great video bro! Good editing and music too. One thing to help, check your color temperature on your camera to match what light your using. Keep the vids coming!
I think it would be very interesting if you do a video describing how you would spend days training and what training regime you would follow trying to seriously reach superhuman fitness level, "If" working and earning is not a concern.
Batmans Armor is bullet resistant ,and ballistic proof from punchs and blunt force weapons ,So his injures are few .
That definitely helps!
Just because it stops the hit doesn't mean the force is stopped. The highest end motorcycle crash gear you can get still won't save you if someone cracks you with a BFH (big fluffy hammer), just like the best bullet resistant materials won't save you if you take a shotgun at point blank range. It can stop all the bullets sure, but the force will still cause massive damage to your bone structure and internal organs. Lets not even start on the force he takes using the grapple gun and ripping himself up buildings at the speeds he does. And if you're wearing the best impact gear and the best ballistic gear, you won't be going ANYWHERE fast or for any long duration
Eternal Horizons well I'm just going to say this if someone like George St-Pierre is wearing armor like Batman's then he would be able to take on a lot of people and I mean a lot
Just Another Guy true indeed with that D30 shock padding its like a real life vibrinium just not bullet proof ,but kevlar on it and titanium plates make it very powerful.
Eternal Horizons D30 will stop the force .
One thing I maybe remind people, is that Batman most likely and realistically wouldn't have learned 136 different martial arts and even if he did there's no way he would master that many different martial arts because if you were to meet any real master martial artist Ravenna Grandmaster or someone badass like Bruce Lee they would tell you the same thing I'm going to tell you and this is once you learn a certain amount of martial arts learning more will be contradictory to what you're trying to accomplish and that's becoming a better fighter being able to defend yourself better it's different if you're saying Batman did it for the sake of just knowing all these martial arts but being Batman I doubt he had the time to do that much learning of different martial arts because being as smart as Bruce Wayne is he would recognize as you start to become I'm at Mastery for your particular martial arts and then you move on to the next I don't care what type of martial arts you use you'll eventually start incorporating your own particular style within that martial arts for instance Bruce Lee created Jeet Kune Do because he realized that within his understanding of kung fu it was limited eating him as a fighter he knew that the only way to Eclipse his own fighting prowess and be better than he already was he knew that he was at the point where creating his own style for himself was much much better then knowing a hundred different styles of martial arts. For myself if I was looking into becoming a Batman martial artist you need to have a soft martial art (for instance Tai Chi) hard martial art for punching kicking and learning how to do those particular things in the perfect way for you. You would also need to learn a grappling method and Aikido jiu jitsu type martial art with just four that I have Incorporated I would certainly with the same mental acuity as someone else and physical acuity would surpass them in my opinion if I were to learn for martial arts or combination of a single martial art that had all those things that I mentioned while he was off learning his 137 I would eventually become a master of those particulars while he was learning his 137 styles and I guarantee I would just kick his ass before you even finished those hundred 37 styles because I would be focusing on behind the curtain things within the styles that only Masters and Grandmasters know about. Anyway, sorry about the run-on sentences and bad grammar I spoke into my phone for this. I almost forgot it would be best also similar to Robin Nightwing and many other human martial artist in the comics to learn some kind of weapon me personally I'd go Deadpool Style with a gun and a sword four different occasions obviously it's always good to have a backup plan
I will write it here, despite the Batman video has been around for some time. Quite ago, i tried myself to figure out Batman training. I decided at first wich martial arts he should have studied (never bought that crap about "127 martial arts to perfection"...), and then i was helped by this site
maroonersrock.com/2012/10/the-martial-arts-of-batman/
wich is really eye-opening, and does truly make sense.
Then i established a routine he should have followed:
-from 10 (when his parents died) to 15 yrs: studied all the literature, maths and physics up to high school level, become good at athletics, artistic gymnastics (huge help for next to come), escapism, logic tests, some sports (skiing, scuba diving, parachuting), and boxing;
-from 15 to 25 yrs travelled the world to study martial arts and other stuff, all the while attending college via correspondance course. Ok, it does not make MUCH sense, but let's say that he spent 16 hours a day, ANY day, divided in 8 hours of martial arts and 8 hours of study. That would still leave him 8 hours to rest and eat, wich is more than enough, and equally important. He's also a natural genius, 180 I.Q. with photographic memory, and the luck of being 6'2", and mesomorph;
-therefore, he could have studied like 10 martial arts, and, if you consider it takes 7 years to get a Black Belt at, let's say, karate, generally training 4 hours a week, for 40 weeks at year, that will make roughly 1600 hours of study for a black belt, wich means that one year of practice, for 8 hours a day, any day, is something along the line of 2900 hours. So, he's at Ni-Dan level in 10 different martial arts, considering also each new one would be progressively easier to learn, and that he spontaneously combine them together;
-and finally, also studying the other 8 hours a day, any day, for 10 years, being a natural genius, COULD have gotten him to get a degree in 2 years, instead of 3-4, wich means 5 degrees at the time he came back to Gotham. If i'm not mistaken, some databooks says Law, Economy, Mechanical Engineering, Criminal Psichology and Computer Technology;
-oh, and i forgot he must have also learnt 8-10 languages, but i suppose he just mastered the language of any country he came to, plus a pair more;
So, yes, becoming Batman is somewhat POSSIBLE, Bruce COULD have done something like that
TheGoogler77 Crap, i thought it worked. It divided martial arts for range and scope
-long range: Shotokan Karate, Savate, Capoeira;
-medium range: Goju Ryu Karate, Muay Thay, Panantukan (Philipino boxing), Boxe;
-grappling: Judo/JuJitsu, Sambo, BJJ for ground work;
-weapons: fencing, ninjutsu (all the samurai/ninja weaponry), kali (sticks, knives);
probably i'm missing something but these are the main ones.
Also, it's implied in the comics Bruce became much better at anything by continuing to train and experimenting during his "active" Batman years. Even if he didn't have so much spare time, considering he divided himself between corporation business, his fake playboy life, and crimefighting (wich includes also time spent in Justice League, and training Robin).
I suppose he continued experimenting with martial arts, improving his personal style, adding something else, like some chinese styles and concepts, and also perfected his detective ability, that he mastered almost exclusively during his active career, to the point he became the world's greatest detective.
Lucius Fox still provides much of the gadgets, but Bruce certainly knows how to at least repair the tech and the batmobile, and how to hack computers at world class levels, he must also have created an archive of infos about anything that ever happened to him and the Justice League.
Being Batman isn't an accomplishment, is a lifetime work
There's a possibility of learning many martial arts styles. Depending on the interest of any person.
Yea but it's impossible to learn all of them in one lifetime
Very inspiring. I'd love to hear more about Bruce Lee and Bruce Wayne. Thank you!
There are real masters out there who are great at a wide variety of martial arts. Yes, it involves some cross-training, but really it's more about studying the arts to a depth that most do not discover. When you can do this, you do master every martial art, all at once, figuratively speaking. This means that what you master is the principles of motion, anatomy, physiology, psychology, and energy. Once those are mastered, then all the martial arts feel like the same, just different points of emphasis on certain types of motion -- and once you develop the mind to see motion easily, then it all starts feeling like a simple matter. However, this kind of mastery also means growing a wisdom to know what things not to waste time on. Higher level martial arts requires more relaxation than tension, so some methods that rely too much on tension become deemphasized (like a muay thai kick), so you don't care to keep all martial arts related skills at an equally high level. DK Yoo would be an example of what I speak of.
As far as the Uber-Man theory, I think it is ridiculous. It doesn't take into account that when your body and mind are exhausted after training, studying, and work, you need to rest for long chunks. Your body will make you. Plus, what, when Batman was training with all these different masters and experts would they sleep all night while Batman would awkwardly stay up all night training? What is much more likely is Batman is just like other dedicated polymaths (Benjamin Franklin, Averroes, etc) and just is very good at learning very quickly by recognizing patterns across different fields, learning what to focus on in training and what to ignore, so as to learn very quickly when it would take most others years to learn.
The martial art that batman knows will be the one convenient to the plot ;)
Serious Strength by Peter Ragner discusses old strongman techniques, The first 20 hours how to learn anything... fast by Josh Kaufman
How many martial arts Batman knows: At a certain point, martial arts masters break out on their own. I suggest he put his prodigious brain to the task and applied his knowledge of anatomy and physics. When my anatomy instructor demonstrated muscle origins and insertions he did what he called "applied anatomy". It hurt, but his students consistently got the best test scores.
been a fan of this channel over 6 years now I think. I hope you only grow and get to that million sub mark! I've been following your Batman project ever since and will be proudly commenting on each
The reason Batman is able to master all the martial arts that he does is because he has perfect memory. His memory not only helps him in his fighting but also aids his already superior intelligence and detective work. It's extremely easy for him to learn and notice patterns, which gives him the ultimate advantage is every field he manipulates. If you have the will, the perseverance, and the memory, you can become Batman.
As far as Bruce Wayne / Bat Man is concerned I believe he took the Bruce Lee approach? Absorb what is useful and discard what is useless. That's how he studied all the Martial arts! and made up his own fighting method!
Batman knows Jiu-Jitsu. I know that much from watching Batman Mask of the Phantasm.
Great job keep up the good work and remember to to always protect your city and your mental state because it will challenge you
my wife does all the exercise for me, it's awesome.
Do you have any books you've written?? This is my first video and you're a f*cking genius
+Christian Williams Lol thanks a lot man! :-D I actually have a book on programming but I am currently working on some more interesting stuff :-) I'll be announcing it soon!
In the real world he wouldn't need to learn every martial art because they can all be broken down into three functional components. Striking, grappling, and wrestling. By mastering those three, and understanding the biomechanics of the human body you could theoretically become the most effective martial artist in the world.
Hey man! Seems like you really took the time to make this video and just wanted to give you my personal thoughts. I'd personally say that for the martial arts aspect you should learn BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai and Wrestling/Judo. On top of that it is a good idea to add in a martial art that focuses on weapons. You would definitely want to train full body or upper lower with an undulated or concurrent periodization with a mix of compound movements and gymnastics. As for cardio it would definitely have to be a variety or different things with an emphasis on running and swimming which would make it very hard to excel at when you're trying to become stronger AND a skilled fighter. All in all I would have to say it is impossible but a fun target to shoot for!
can you make a "batman" bodyweight no equipment workout" that would be loved!
+Matthew Wright I've got a lot of bodyweight stuff coming up, stay tuned :-D Thanks for watching!
Adam Sinicki awesome I can't wait!!
I used to learn complex lists, tech specs and recite system procedures for vehicles and radios while shooting hoops from the free throw line.
Batman's training was in no way short. He trained basically from the age of 8 from when his parents were murdered to age 22 when he returned to Gotham city. That's a whole lotta time to learn.
My in part assessment of Batman.
Batman uses the bathroom before patrol so he isn't going while a crime is happening.
He likely gives himself a enema so his Bowls are empty for the night. This also keeps him from getting diarrhea when poisoned as he is poisoned quite a bit.
He is very hydrated which means he is urinating a lot. He could just go while sneaking around on roof tops and alleyways. Batsuit most likely has a zipper.
He has had his teeth knocked out on several occasions and due to years of fighting and with extreme force to the face his likely has a lot of missing teeth he has replaced with implants. Being rich this is easy for him.
He would also get plastic surgery to remove any scars on his face for public image and so he is harder to id as Batman.
Batman is extremely strong and can bench press around 600 to 1000 lb.
There are some training methods that maximize strength while minimizing muscle size. He is big but not the size of a strong man.
He would do this to keep his muscle size down for his gymnastics, parkour and fight speed. Too big of muscles would hinder him.
He uses Electric muscle stimulators to help him farther his effort.
Batman has a strict diet but is not obsessed and often eats Alfred's elegant meals or a business lunch.
A long with this he takes vitamin supplements.
Due to his chemistry and biology skill and education he may have created a performance enhancer with no negative side effects to boost his physical performance.
On nights Batman does Patrol he doesn't max out his workout so he has energy left over to fight crime.
He would have to take nights off to recover from injuries and he has taken nights off before just for a break.
His Batsuit regardless of it being "Titanium dipped tri weave" or anything else it would be hot and he would overheat quickly. Gotham is depicted as being a cold city so it may not be as bad as most areas.He has learned meditations that help him control his body temperature, pain and speed up his healing. Gaining a Black Belt takes 5 years and those really dedicated have been known to do it in 3 years, Taking 2 martial art classes per day Bruce could learn pretty quickly. Being a genius wouldn't help learn a marital art because you need to develop muscle memory.
Sorry this is long so I will end it here.
