I imagine he studied martial arts all over the world before he got locked up. He traveled all over, being a criminal to see how they think and probably studied Martial Arts his whole life at prep schools and the like. Plus he was gone for 7 years!! He didn't spend the entire time with Ra's and the League of Shadows.

I just assume Bruce knew most of his skills already when he got to Ra's. He still has more to go...like the detective skills and the chemistry and forensics knowledge.

After hearing bitching dorks bitching about how BATMAN's origins are never thoroughly explored throughout the releasings of the first four films I was like "Man...this better get everybody to shut the **** up". Jesus!BATMAN BEGINS is a new mix on BATMAN like THE BATMAN cartoon show which are both, or so I have read, very loosely based off of BATMAN YEAR ONE. It is like how the 1989 film was loosely based off of THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS.
I'm truly amazed at how many people think Batman Begins is so true to the character. For me the best thing about Batman is that he dedicated himself to becoming an Olympic class athlete and the world's greatest detective, but that's not what I get from watching this movie. In this movie Bruce Wayne is a self-loathing butthead who would be rotting in a prison somewhere if Ras al Ghul hadn't come along and trained him to be a ninja assassin. Sorry folks, but that's not the Batman I know.
