what martial arts styles would you attribute to famous fictitional characters?

Question

Ok, this is not a serious topic, but at least it isn't "can sponge bob beat barney in a cage match"?

It has to be a REAL existing or historical style- "gun kata" while interesting and the most effective martial art ever, is still fictitional.

1- indiana jones
2- the terminator
3- batman
4- BA baracus
5- shaft (richard roundtree- not the sissy sam jackson one)
6- darth vader
7- rambo
8- conan the barbarian
9- conan o'brien
10- spiderman

not looking for any answer really, just opinions. its fictional characters there is no right or wrong. I guess just explain why.

Answer 1

Indiana Jones - Old school boxing mixed with street fighting mixed in. Something like what Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey were doing.

The terminator - Not sure he really had one. Mostly just brute force.

Batman - A cross between karate and jujitsu with ninjitsu's stealth and a masked face.

BA baracus - mostly boxing, from Mr. T's days as a Chicago bouncer

Shaft - Never saw any of the old Shaft movies. My guess would boxing and some karate thrown in as it starting making it into mainstream in the 70's.

Darth Vader - Iaido/Jujitsu/karate - similar to what a samurai would study

Rambo - Whatever they teach Special Forces/Army Rangers

Conan the barbarian - Iaijitsu, Kenjitsu, (He did learn off of a samurai sword in the movie) and Medieval Sword fighting

Conan O'brien - not a clue

Spiderman - Probably cross between Wu Shu flips and movement and Ninjitsu from walking on walls and using his webbing to travel up buildings

Though not a serious topic, this question made me think quite a bit...

9- conan o'brien - Slapstick (Three Stooges Style)
10- spiderman - Capoeira

Answer 3

Well, lets take a look at Darth Vader, would have to be into Escrima, Lets face it, we all wish we could have a Light Saber!

BA Baracus, Boxing!! Come on, Clubber Lang!!

Rambo, a military Style art, something like Krav Maga maybe, or If it was Rocky 4 maybe Russian Sombo

Batman was kind of hands on, so maybe something like Close Quarter Trapping

Spiderman, well was it Spiderman2 when he went into the wrestling ring? So maybe Submission Wrestling or Even MMA

Bluto, was this the kind of answer you were looking for??

Answer 7

hmm, i started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu recently and am progressing efficiently and love it...if i had to pick another? not sure...i always thought capoieira, TKD and karate were exciting...but i actually may lean more towards M. Thai or Boxing. Anderson Silva: Uncanny with his strikes(knees, kicks, elbows, fists) yet elusive and deadly on the ground (brown belt in BJJ) but theres alot of BJJ/ boxers out there which i noticed is becoming more popular as well. (ironic because my gym only does BJJ and Boxing) Mac Danzig - love him or hate him, he cant even showcase his true groundgame bc he pummels opponents and then just chokes them out... Mastering Boxing and BJJ would be my choice

Answer 8

The Green Hornet - Judo and Ju-Jitsu.
Rambo - The mixed style taught to American Special Forces.
Cain - Kung Fu
Mr. Moto - Judo, Ju-Jitsu and Karate.

(Am I showing my age by mentioning Mr. Moto?)
.

1-Indy : greco roman wrestling , judo, boxing
2-Terminator : ninjutsu; he is an asassin
3-Batman : karate and jujitsu
4-BA : boxing, army combatives
5-Shaft : kenpo
6-Darth Vader : Iaido, ninpo (the force = ninja magic = LOL)
7-Rambo : army combatives, kali
8-Conan : european broadsword arts, pankration
9-Conan O'brien : 100 meter sprint (LOL)
10-Spidey : shaolin kung fu, jujitsu
