Ok here is kind of games. You must guess the martial art that the charcter below uses most often in a fight.

Wolverine
Daredevil
Batman
Captain America
Black Panther

bump

It's not neccesary to bump something that is at the top of a page. Particularly after only 6 minutes.

Wolverine's would be... "I'm supposed to be a top martial artist but instead i just charge and get my ass handed to me."

Ok get going than!

Wolverine: Is skilled in virtually every fairly mainstream martial art (like Karate or Tai Kwon Do), but I doubt he knows obscure disciplines like Zhi Quan or Hung Gar. (Although Hung Gar, with its solid stances and hard strikes, would be right up his alley I think.) Primarily, though, Wolverine uses kaijutsu, the japanese traditional fencing. His is a specialist style that deals in wielding two wakizashi (short swords.)

Daredevil: Uses a combination of American Boxing and Judo.

Batman: They never get specific, so I have no clue.

Captain America: Synthesized his own style of American Boxing and Judo.

Black Panther: Uses advanced Wakandan martial arts (which are supposedly some of the world's best, although I don't think they've ever been explored in detail.)

Wolverine: Supposedly (as another poster said) a 'master of martial arts,' but he rarely exhibits them and instead rushes in blindly slashing and hacking and relying on his healing factor to take care of any wounds he has. For a character who supposedly knows the way of the Samurai he is extremely reckless. The most he came to showing pure martial skill was when he was with Elektra and they were training. Then Wolverine (with his bone claws) showed true bushido, otherwise most times he is just some short dude with razor-sharp ginsu blades jutting from his hands who likes to slash and dice. However he is, supposedly, supposed to be very well versed in martial arts (and every now and then he'll be drawn doing a move that seems to stem from the arts), but most of the time he is just charging and yelling and flashing his claws.

DareDevil: Based on his training by Stick, and his past, he would know a mix of some form of ninjitsu as well as boxing/judo. While most manuals state he knows boxing and judo, DareDevil most often what would have to be ninja moves.

Batman: Interesting character. In Batgirl: A Knight Alone, Batman tries to re-teach Batgirl by showing her his 127 styles. He starts alphabetically with Aikido, and ends with something he calls 'Yaw-Yan.' Thus Batman can be said to use an eclectic mix that ranges, alphabetically, from Aikido to Yaw-Yan. And between Aikido and Yaw-Yan are 125 styles (to make 127).

Captain America: He has always been said (by Marvel) to know boxing and judo, and it was like this for decades. However the moves he pulls are like nothing in judo, and definitely not in boxing. At times he can do an acrobatic kick that NightWing and/or DareDevil would be proud of. Thus Cap is quite interesting, and he definitely knows much more than judo and boxing.

BlackPanther: The manuals talk of some African martial art or arts, however I wouldn't be surprised if he knew much more. Much much more.

Thus why the general wisdom is that he's blended the two arts into his own unique style....

Wolverine = Berseker Claw !!!
Daredevil = Eskrima, a phillipines stick fighting style
Caps = Judo and Boxing
Batman = Aikido and Jeet Kun Do

Does random slashing count as a martial art...

You forgot a vast part of DD's fighting style is Ninjitsu as well.

And a lot of times, I'd wager that Cap really performs a form of Jeet Kune Do. He pretty much does what he has to do to win in a fight, which what Jeet Kune Do is all about. No fancy stances, just get the job done.

Well, these guys all fight with really just judo and boxing with some gymnastics regardless of what their backgrounds actually say. Occasionally, some moves from other styles are thrown in for flare.

Wolverine generally just brawls. Although when he does show his skill, he falls into the same category as the other guys.

According to Batman Begins, i would say Batman knows ninjutsu

Wolverine: Drunken monkey style

Daredevil: Uhh...ninja martial arts?

Batman: Bat-kickery

Captain America: His own combination

Black Panther: Something effective

Wolverine - Slash Fu

Daredevil - Blind Fu

Batman - Bat Fu

Captain America - Shield Fu

Black Panther - Panther Fu

You've got to keep in mind Wolverine's build, too. He's five feet three inches, with rather short legs--does kickboxing sound like the kind of style for him?

Wolverine: Ussually does not use any paticular style of fighting, chooseing to either brawl or mix up several moves. In a sence his training may be used as a platform for his type of brawling, which in its own form can be as dangerious as martial arts. I've seen many bad-ass martial artists get the crud beat out of them by a guy with no paticular moves. Much of martial art are a frame of mind and understanding enviroment and human personalities.

Daredevil: Veru much ninjisu in form and judo in actual melee combat. His moves are defined by moving an opponets weight to his own advantage and striking with heavy well place blows.....so definatly a mix of both. A very dangerious combo.

Batman: I have a hard time seeing him as a "master" of 127 forms of martial arts, due to the impossibility of time to master even one. Prodigy or not thats a little far fetched. But, that takes little away from what he does.....it seems that he is prolly a master of a few martial arts but has trained in many others. His fighting style seems to revolve around kempo and juedo and a strange mix of taking a blow to delever a much more potent strike. His armor and suit, along with his obviously high duribility gives him the ability to fight like this. But when fighting foes that are much stronger than he, ones he can't afford to be struck by he tends to use thier own weight against them, and strike when the oppertunity arises.

Captian America: Judo and boxing are pretty much his style, but I've got a better word for it...commando. Military techniques that revolve around brutal hits, quick strikes and agile defences.

Black panther: Honestly never really read a whole lot on him

Actually some grappling style seems to fit that build. Despite looking sloppy, Wolverine is probably already using the best method of fighting for his build. Fedor Emelianenko is the best martial artist on the planet right now, and even his "style" resembles Wolverine brawl tactics.


And for Daredevil. I know he is supposed to know ninjutsu but, he doesn't do it. Ninjutsu is poisoning someone's drink,stabbing someone from behind, or even shooting someone. Ninjas were trained with WEAPONS and wanted to kill in the easiest and quickest way possible. People are getting real ninjutsu confused with movie bullsh*t and video games.

He does judo and boxing, just like everyone else.

While you are correct that true ninjitsu revolves a lot around sneaky, dastardly tactics, don't forget that there really is an actual fighting style of ninjitsu. There are actually many different types of it, like there are hundreds of styles of Kung Fu. And DD just happens to know one of the styles of ninjitsu.

Wolverine as in Martial Arts was like Bruce Lee in that he is a accomplised fighter in just about every style on Marvel Earth. Jeet Kune Do.

I understand what you mean, but ,unlike kung fu, there is only one style of ninjutsu. However, ninjutsu IS made up of several facets. The facet Daredevil is supposedly using is taijutsu. Taijutsu is essentially the striking aspect of ninjutsu. I have seen taijutsu guys fight and I have a couple of friends who train in taijutsu, as well as some other parts of ninjutsu. The techniques Daredevil employ bear little to no resemblance to any techniques I have seen. I honestly think the writers are just throwing in strikes that look cool and "ninja-ey" and really have no idea about the style itself.

It's possible that the writers did some research and found some rare techniques to draw, but I highly doubt that.
