If so what kind of training they would have to go through ? By training I mean the spatial and situational awareness, combat skills (this is kinda unrealistic), enough knowledge to turn any situation to their advantage etc.
Just think of the person as your average joe who financially has nothing to spend on high tech gadgets or state of the art training equipment. And doesn’t even have any support from another human being. Basically one has to train from the ground up alone.
Don’t limit the answers to just James Bond and John wick, you can even consider any realistically possible superhero or supervillain (like batman or taskmaster) as well.
So what’s your take ?
The closest equivalent I would think of are existing special forces of different militaries.
You first need the physical and mental ability to even be considered. From that, the military will then invest a lot in weapons, combat, and other training.
The closest outside of government training is maybe MMA, but that is only close combat. Even then, people dedicate their entire non-work time for years to get to that level.
I remember a video on youtube from a long time ago about an MMA fighter who got into a fight at a bar in, I think, Brazil. There were multiple guys with knives. Know what he did? He fucking booked it and still almost died. The reality is that the reason John Wick and James Bond win fights against multiple armed opponents is because the script demands it. In real life you would die almost instantly against greater numbers or armed opponents, regardless of how well trained you are or if you’re special forces or a secret agent. Because you don’t have plot armor.
Then again, Gurkhas exist.
I completely agree. Hell, this is why Bruce Lee carried a gun with him.
I was just looking at the closet real life equivalents. In reality, a person put in that position would likely be dead.
Surely there are human development programs that aren’t disclosed to the public. Special forces are the ones we know about.
I would be surprised. We know about MK-ULTRA and other programs, and those involved drugs like psychedelics.
If we are talking about a program that involves training that anyone could afford, special forces and MMA seem like the best equivalent you could model that training off of.
