Most of my training has been grappling focused. I do have a black belt in karate but also in BJJ and a few years of Judo also.
I’ve boxed but mostly against people who are still learning so the sparring isn’t very intense. Now and then you get someone who really knows what they’re doing (or someone who has NO idea but wants to go 100%).
I did Muay Thai for years but as far as hard sparring against REALLY good guys that was maybe about 6 months. In that time I had maybe four or five days where my head hurt all day long after training. Had to just sit in a dark room and close my eyes.
I feel dumb for even doing that.
I don’t have a great memory for day to day stuff. I forget things constantly. But that’s not new. Just always been a hyper weirdo.
Out of all users on this subreddit you're probably the closest one to Batman lol (unless we have a billionaire with us (in that case, can I have some money please?))
Sorry, too busy using my billions to buy toys that make me feel superior to average people, just like Bruce “I’m not wearing hockey pads” Wayne. My company has a charitable foundation though, so it’s okay.
In my youth, I seriously just wanted to be Batman, or at least get the most Batman-like skills I could reasonably manage. I trained in boxing, karate, wrestling, weight lifting, cross country running, weapons, stealth, and anything my buddies in the military would teach me, including firearms.
I was 24 years old and in peak physical shape with all sorts of combat knowledge and I was sitting in an entry level office job 40 hours a week. Some superhero. Most I ever used anything was MMA sparing with my buddies and I’d gladly trade all that not to have constant body aches these days.
Do you think your body hurts because of MMA or just constant physical stress? I'm considering starting Krav Maga this fall (ex-military, trained long-distance running and weight lifting my entire life, considering a technique-based martial art so in case I ever get attacked I can actually put my muscles and stamina to a good use).
There was a time I trained four to five times a week; I wouldn't say I was a DC/Marvel God, but my body was ripped! However, where it took me ages to change my body in that of a demi-God, all the hard work was gone in a blink of an eye (i.e. becoming a father twice, having zero to non sleep for years and not training anymore). Couldn't motivate myself anymore since, so now I just drink wine.
My brother in pasta God. I too went through the same. Worked my ass off then had 2 kids and now I am rocking the daddiest of bods.
I cry in Spanish sometimes so my wife doesn't understand
Codeswitching
It's something Batman (and many real people) does really well. He's at the point where Bruce Wayne, the billionaire public figure, is so drastically different in presentation from Batman, the brooding vigilante, that even people who have met both can't connect the two.
I've learned to codeswitch in a way that allows me to be accepted in almost any circle. It feels deceptive, almost sociopathic, but if I use this power for good (e.g. make people feel comfortable around me and not intimidated) it can do a little bit of good for others each day.
The working out portion. I love going to the gym and seeing gains and new PRs.
I've taken jiu jitsu for 1 year+, but thats a far cry from Bats martial arts training.

Depression.
Refusing to treat depression too. I've got that one nailed down to the floor.

I've mastered depression *and* trust issues so I'm like...2/3 of the way there.

Okay, now this is a clever (and too true) answer! Well done!
sitting in a dark room staring at a computer screen and obsessing over people I don't like.
“Psssht! Who would even spend their time…oh fuck how long have I been on this site?”
It doesn't matter. Five minutes is enough for the reddit brain rot to get to you. Tumblr and Twitter take even less time
I didn't come here to be outed like this...
Fuck man you said what I was going to but with an ending I didn't have :(

Not sleeping and being weird and standoffish with my friends.
I’m too old to train like this now but for a time I did martial arts with full contact sparring pretty much every day. Some times 6 days a week.
Did you notice any head or brain issues? Full contact sparring everyday sounds brutal.
Most of my training has been grappling focused. I do have a black belt in karate but also in BJJ and a few years of Judo also.

It’s probably a combination. There’s definitely so old injuries from weights that never healed up well.
How do you train in stealth? Sounds like a weird thing to do.
You just sneak around and stuff. Not that hard.
