I met with the fighting choreographer of the famous Dark Knight trilogy movie and got to experience Batman’s fighting style and martial art first hand.

Welcome to the Martial Arts Journey YouTube channel!
My name is Rokas. I’m a Lithuanian guy who trained Aikido for 14 years, 7 of them running a professional Aikido Dojo until eventually I realized that Aikido does not live up to what it promises.
Lead by this realization I decided to make a daring step to close my Aikido Dojo and move to Portland, Oregon for six months to start training MMA at the famous Straight Blast Gym Headquarters under head coach Matt Thornton.
After six months intensive training I had my first amateur MMA fight after which I moved back to Lithuania. During all of this time I am documenting my experience through my YouTube channel called “Martial Arts Journey”.
Now I am slowly setting up plans to continue training MMA under quality guidance and getting ready for my next MMA fight as I further document and share my journey and discoveries.

The style reminds me of military techniques.
Imagine hearing "I'm a black belt in judo" then "I'm a black belt in brazilian jiu-jitsu" followed by "I'm a black belt In batman" lol
In Mask of the Phantasm, he uses a form of Jui Jitsu.
Interesting, it is surelly an unorthodox fighting style, butbit seems simple, straight to the point and effective, is nor for fighting in the ring, but perfct to self defense, i would love to practice it
One things differs you for sure, the batman has a lot better intake of his whey- or structure protein (collagen-based).
wow! this is This is interesting.
That´s all fine and dandy, too bad you can´t see any of this in the movies, because Chr. Nolan used that crappy Mid-00´s "Shakycam & 400 quick cuts per minute"- style. The hand-to-hand combat fight scenes in Nolan´s trilogy are absolutely horrendously filmed & edited.
Jesus Christ. You are the most whiney martial artist I've ever seen.
This is not unique. A lot of this martial arts style came from 52 blocks. Dude might be a thief.
Batman.
Love your channel, don't get down, you have a lot of heart to go on this journey and the content is very wholesome.
The dark night has some of the worst fight choreography in movie history. There are guys during fight scenes just standing in shot waiting for there turn to attack there are people falling over who have never even been touched there are so many shots that the cameara angle shows theres no contact or that the strike isnt even close its ridiculous. The movies are great but let down by shoddy timing and bad camera angles even all the shacky camera nonscense cant hide how poor it is
Love man. I have been a disabled veteran for the last 20+ years. I struggle with pain and hopelessness everyday. My nerve pain and death is advancing everyday. This video helped me remember what the path is. To keep trying and be my own super hero. Thank you.
Eventually you have to learn to climb out the well yourself. As do we all great inspiration
That Andy guy is a super nice gentleman. I can see he has a big heart giving away that shirt. 🌞
In the comics, Batman has supposedly mastered every martial art, but we all know that there isn't enough time in one life for that. And they say Batman doesn't have any superpowers……
Decent enough video but you need to stop with all of the pathetic self-loathing. My introduction to your channel is you whining about general life things and acting like it's the end. Good content, stop the soft speak whine
Looking for inspiration, and instead inspiring others. Thanks!
Batman has always been a person of raw physical power and strength. This style IMO suits him very much.
I see puppy. Puppy demands love.
u feel like an idiot
Thanks for the reminder to "own the journey"
Life Hates you'???? yeah- right- I was bodyguard/RANGER, fed officer- and got mashed between 2 trucks in 99- and am STILL not over it…. talking about your hip- I hurt, hips, knees, back- everywhere STILL after 25 years almost….. so you get up and go….
Good watch! Thanks for sharing.
The worst fighting scenes in movie history.
Keysi looks great on screen. That’s it.
Wow, what a wiener
Your first episode of the ultimate self-defense championship was very inspiring to me.👍 Don't know why. I'm really happy to see that you still found a way to get through with your plan besides all the mental and financial pressure. Love watching your journey!👍 And I'm so exited for the next episode on the 7.5.😁😁😁
How can Batman, an imaginary character, have an "official" martial art? Sounds like Bullshido to me…
Ask @LiamHarrisonTraining what he thinks.
This style is very similar to 52Blocks, a Prison system Martial arts mixed with Boxing, Muy thai and Judo/Wrestling/Bjj…made to fight in close quarters and defend aswell as attack the focus is usually Forarmm and elbows..this style if extremely close the diff is 52Blocks is taught exclusivlt to The Nation of Gods and Earths sometimes known as 5percenters and is a proven sytem used to survive in prison. I was taught it my Grandfather but i rely more on Boxing, since I just love boxing its in my blood..My cousin is 2time world champ tracy patterson and i have 4 other cousins all former pro boxers or am champions one is Toughman champion. Its cool because its like my Family has our own style of Martial Arts. Im a very good boxer in the ring, but in the street i can and have been peoples worse nightmare, due to my experience and Training
Inspiration and motivation is luxury – Discipline is the way.
He felt uncomfortable because he was real.

We need to see more of the pup.
It’s part bajiquan, military Hand to hand combat and 52 blocks.
I just feel really glad seeing your growth. Keep it up ma man
Looks like JKD
Awesome, thanks so much for all you do for the martial arts and humanity! The choreographer seemed very appreciative and enjoyed your company. If not for you we may have never heard of him.
It’s not who I am, but what I do the defines me – Batman
The music makes a weird clicking noise and I thought it was something outside my headphones, so I started looking for it lol 😅😂
Did this martial art have a name? Is it practiced anywhere else besides at their studio? Great video as always. Traveling and doing videos while sick sucks… Well done keeping your spirit up!
Try core combatives of Mick Coup… you're gonna love it
Lol, I didn't know he had a martial art. Lol
This an horrible video
I think that old guy wasn't really a good martial artist he was just a good fighting scene maker😂😂
Cupping your hands over your ears while swinging your elbows around isn't fighting…
