![]() So if you wanted to fight like Batman, you should take up Keysi Fighting Method and Ninjitsu for a while then start competing in MMA. Mixed martial arts is largely about controlling the range and being able to fight at a distance as well as up close and it would provide a perfect modern training ground for practicing and honing your skills. This is in accord with my experience playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. So really Batman training for combat is about combining these methods: using stealth, tools and fear to get the upper hand on his opponents and then getting in close to quickly eliminate them. It also involves the use of pressure points and a lot of additional ‘skills’ such as rope climbing, horsemanship and more. It’s a soft style of martial arts that involves moving stealthily through the shadows, using weapons and tools and employing techniques like distraction and fear. The Ninjitsu element is kind of the opposite. And it’s also somewhat ideal that KFM should be based on Jeet Kune Do, which in turn was developed by Bruce Lee – perhaps the closest real-life specimen to Batman-esque fighting prowess. It’s a modern fighting style that is designed for use against muggers and other street opponents. For starters, it places some emphasis on combating multiple opponents with a ‘360 degree’ approach. There are other things that make the Keysi Fighting Method perfect too. Keysi fighting makes particular sense for a guy who has knives attached to gauntlets too. This is a good strategy in any fight – especially as in my experience thugs and muggers tend to start with a right hook (no really, it’s practically a given). It’s about getting in close to your opponents to render their usual hooks and jabs ineffective and then quickly incapacitating them. The Keysi Fighting Method (invented by Justo Di’guez and Andy Norman) is all about elbow blows and knee blows, along with some close range grappling. Mixed Martial Arts – Because let’s be honest, Batman probably knows all the martial arts and will combine them in the ring.Ninjitsu – As it’s generally lore that Batman trained with Ninjas and many of his techniques – such as the use of shadows and shuriken (in the form of Batarangs) – is certainly ‘Ninjitsu-esque’.The Keysi Fighting Method – As this is the fighting style that was used when choreographing the Christian Bale Batman films. ![]() Well, that all depends on which version of Batman you’re talking about but there are three martial arts in particular that stand out to us as particularly interesting. Batman needs to fight criminals so it’s not really enough to just workout, you need to be able to put that muscle to good use with the right fighting method. We’ll start with Batman’s training in martial arts. Watch the shorter video version and/or dive into some deep discussion in the full post below! Batman’s Martial Arts Training ![]() So let’s imagine, hypothetically, that you were training to become Batman. Sure, he’s fictional but that doesn’t mean we can’t be inspired by the stories. ![]() My attempts to transform like Optimus Prime have met only with failure and disappointment.īatman forged his power through will and grit alone and as a result he is able to stand toe to toe with aliens and Gods. Batman is the most relatable and the most human. ![]() And it’s why Batman training really appeals to me.Īnd if you’re going to emulate a superhero, it makes sense to start with one who has no powers. That’s really what the Bioneer is all about and it’s why we discuss everything here from nootropics, to ambidexterity, to bodybuilding. It’s cool to emulate your heroes, so why not emulate a superhero? How much more badass is that than trying to become ‘regional manager’ (no offense to regional managers). If Batman and I ever met, we would have something in common. One of the reasons I like to give when people ask me why I train so hard is this: ![]()
