The kung fu in batman begins seems quite different to the kung fu in the batman television series. And both are different to the kung fu used by David Carridine - which I still think is the best. What type of kung fu does batman know?

Batman doesn't do Kung Fu. He's more of a Judo/Jiu-Jitsu fighter.Originally Posted by Vasquez
Didn't they mention ninjas during his training?
The famous Movie Fu Style
All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

I've read a few articles and they were trying to make it look like Batman had his own unique fighting style. More of a hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast, very direct kind of style. Of course you can't tell by watching the movie because of all the fast cutting techniques they use with the fight scenes. <-- my only gripe on an otherwise great movie.

It worked in a few scenes, though, especially against the thugs in the warehouse. Soetimes you want a more suspenseful, unseen, scary kind of approach. I do wish there had been a little bit more clarity in the duels with Liam Neeson, though.

First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
In general I really liked it, but as Chang says, the final fight with Ducard could have been better. It was a bit like a regular Pride viewing...!
The art is called Keysi Fighting Method and it's an offshoot of JKD, which sounds like every other offshoot of JKD.
Try reading this pitiful mag sometimes!
Batman uses a variation of Jeet Kune Do, the Keysi Fighting Method. Seriously, check it out...

Are we talking the fighting used in the movie or the actual combat origins of the comic book character batman?
And dont be disapointed in the fight with Roz Aghul, if they will be following the comics hes about 400 years old and most definately not dead.
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

Were there any actual combat origins? Who knows the 'real' root of Bat Fu? Wasn't it an aboriginal style? That would explain the bat-a-rang.actual combat origins of the comic book character batman

I want to say batman was a japanese style fighter. In the cartoon, they depicted him training with samurai, and his rival was a ninja that once trained with him. Also, back when the original batman movie came out, I recall a MA mag with an article titled "Was batman a ninja?" what jkd guy trains with shuriken and has the aim of becoming invisible? Look at the talks with neeson about mind control and perception... bats was a ninja.

From the age of eight to his early twenties, Wayne trained and became a master in all forms of fighting using a hybrid style in combat. The skills he did not master, which were very few, he gained a rudimentary knowledge of. An example of his not mastering something fully was presented in Detective Comics issues 575 -578, which depicted Batman knowing familiarity of marksmanship with guns, but not a mastery of them because it was the instrument of his parent’s death. Added to that his physical prowess, he is difficult to defeat
The depiction of Bruce being trained by Roz Aghul in the movie is not far from the actual comic. He was partially trained by Roz Aghul and eventually does kill him (on accident of course)
He was trained by many people though, some of his training was not quite so secretive either. But there is a definate ninja atmosphere to his training. He even recieved some training from Alfred, who was an ex secret service agent from britan.
They touch on alfreds skill for a brief moment in the movie, after bruce falls down the well his father tells alfred to reset the bone and take him to get ex-rays later on.
The idea the Batman using Jeet Kune Do is not far off seing as how he trained in so many styles of martial arts, karate, ninpo, ninjitsu, kung fu, judo, jiujutsu, etc...
and that a large portion of his fighting experience comes from fighting for his life and life of others. Its only natural that he would use anything that would work and be as effiecent as he can, as Bruce Lee said, "Efficiency is anything that scores"
This is the kind of raw and to the point type of combat required by the dark night.
