yeah there's always that possibility too.
ha ha, Takashi sure has a way with people if he can make them do things that they weren't capable of doing before. and he does have good balance and he's quite strong given that when he, Rei, and Hisashi were making a run for the rooftop in ep. 1 he hit a zombie with that bat so hard it flew at the screen. so while he may not have any formal training, he's quite a fighter.
