тренировки баки ханма список
Парень так вдохновился накачанным героем аниме, что превратился в улучшенную его копию
Японского бодибилдера постоянно сравнивают с героем аниме и манги «Боец Баки». Неудивительно — парень в такой хорошей физической форме, что поверить, что он реален, просто невозможно.
Пользователи «Твиттера» из Японии не понаслышке знают о бойце Баки — о нём вышло бессчётное количество манги и два аниме-сериала. Фанатов у мультяшного героя немало, и недавно они, похоже, нашли его точную копию в реальном мире. Им оказался бодибилдер из Японии Наотаку Йокакаву.
Это стройное и точёное тело заставляет задуматься, настоящий ли это вообще человек. Должно быть, он сравним с самим Баки
Но, как сообщает Kotaku, несмотря на схожесть с Баки, вдохновением для бодибилдера стал не сам герой, а его антагонист в сериале. Наотаку начал свои тренировки именно благодаря злодею по имени Юдзиро Ханма.
Восхищаясь Юдзиро Ханме, я начал заниматься бодибилдингом. Ах, Юдзиро. Благодаря тебе я теперь сильный, энергичный и счастливый. Стал ли я хоть немного ближе к тебе?
Недавно Йокакава порадовал как своих фанатов, так и поклонников Баки. Бодибилдер нашёл статую знаменитого героя и сделал с ним кадр, изобразив позу бойца. Конечно, пост тут же стал вирусным. Его лайкнули больше 100 тысяч и ретвитнули порядка 17 тыс. раз. В комментариях под публикацией собрались любители аниме, которые, видимо, теперь увлекутся и бодибилдингом.
Я впервые такое говорю, но у тебя действительно получилось изобразить так же круто, как оригинал
Если когда-нибудь будут снимать фильм про Баки, ты точно можешь исполнить его роль!
Мышцы на твоих руках ещё круче, чем у самого Баки!
Baki Workout Routine: Train like The New Netflix Anime Mixed Martial Arts Stud
Last updated on October 11th, 2021 at 04:54 pm
I didn’t think I was going to enjoy Baki.
And then I kind of loved it.
Now here we are. Taking a break from all our Dragon Ball Z heroes (we’ve seen Goku, Vegeta, Kale, Caulifla, Toppo, Jiren, Broly, Kefla and Ribrianne now…!), and moving onto some other mixed martial arts anime.
We’ve also seen some others, like One Punch Man and All Might, but I’ve actually been watching more and more Anime now that I have all you guys.
Baki Stats:
Height: 5’5
Weight: 156 lbs.
Real Name: Baki Hanma
Powers: No
Age: Seen as 13-15-17-18 (Netflix Series: 17)
Guess who has two thumbs and is right around the same height as Baki….
That’s right….THIS GUY!….(me…I’m pointing at myself with my thumbs…)
Vegeta were tied Wolverine for the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Moralesonly an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
Just above them are Aquaman, Red Hood and Punisher standing only an inch or so taller.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
And, of course, Hulk and Broly are both up there with them, and sometimes even portrayed much taller.
Yeah, that means All Might was the tallest at 7’2, only sometimes surpassed by The Hulk – and Zangief just missing the tallest spot at 7’0!
And I say “was” because Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.
Baki Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero, unless I mentioned differently (for example someone like Toppo may get something specifically different)**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Hugh Jackman and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting daily, and I also use it myself in conjunction with cyclical ketosis.
That being said, I also recommend tracking and paying attention to protein intake.
BUT, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Oh, and if you’re down with calorie counting instead, that’s always an option as well. It’s just important to be aware of specific rules and precision while counting.
Baki Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
This is where I get to break down the “how” and “why” of the workout we’re going to build based on the characters, in this case Baki’s, powers and/or abilities.
I actually just finished up the series last night, so I have some insider information…
We are shown Baki performing at his “gym class” at school, and he is undergoing physical fitness tests. He literally does a broad jump that’s too far to even calculate, and 15 pull-ups before anyone can even see he’s done them. Then he proceeds to attempt a longer distance run, crushing a world record time of an 800 meter distance sprint, but then eventually losing stamina.
So expect to see bodyweight stuff like we’re training to become elite gymnasts.
Another important thing about Baki is straight from his Wiki page:
Baki strives to defeat his father, Yujiro Hanma, who is indisputably considered the strongest man alive. However, Baki’s dream is not to replace Yujiro as the strongest man alive, but only to become strong enough to defeat him. This goal stems from a natural desire to surpass his father as well as a desire to avenge his mother, Emi Akezawa, whom Yujiro murdered.
Here’s another part that talks about Baki’s strengths, the second section we get to see within the Netflix series:
Baki’s strength is constantly growing throughout the series. Baki’s initial introduction at the very beginning of the series, 17 year old Baki was already the champion of the Tokyo Underground Dome. At the beginning, Baki was shown to bench press over 320 lbs when training. At first, Baki was shown to be on the same level as Toba, a wrestler who was shown to be strong enough to easily defeat Hanada and crush his bike in the process. 18 year old Baki’s strength grew more, until he was strong enough to face Kureha, and defeat him. As Baki’s never stops getting stronger throughout the series, it is difficult to set a definitive level to his strength. At the start of the anime, Baki at age 13, was able to defeat 37 of 100 thugs by himself. When he confronted Hanayama, he was shown to effortlessly overpower several men trying to hold him back, and kick Hanayama’s 250 lb desk out the window with ease. He was shown fast enough to catch a knife thrown at him from 15 feet away. Baki’s strength increased more during his fight with Gaia, when he learned to utilize his endorphins to boost his strength and speed. When he activates his endorphins, it also allows his body to, react and move on its own, without his conscious effort. By the time 13 year old Baki faced Yujiro, Baki was shown strong enough to tank Hanayama’s punches (which are powerful enough to split a fence open), without damage. He was able to push Hanayama’s 350 lb body 30 meters away with a punch, and proved to be faster than Yuri’s boxing, by easily dodging all his punches. Baki had enough stamina to fight for 12 hours straight with Hanayama and Yuri without stopping, all while wearing a 45 lb training belt, proclaiming the 12 hour session as a warm-up.
In the second series of the manga, when Baki is 17, he has shown much improvement. While in gym class, Baki was shown to do 10 pull-ups in 2 seconds (breaking the pull-up bar in the process), jump 20 ft in the air over a 20 ft gap from a standing position, and broke his arm cast into pieces by simply flexing his arm. He was fast enough to effortlessly dodge a thug’s chain weapon with a rock attached to it for blunt damage, while the thug was able to swing his chain at speeds of over 100 mph.
Did someone say bench press?
Seems like we’ll also be adding in some weightlifting to train to beat the world’s strongest man (Baki’s father…if you missed that part).
And, obviously, we also need to become the greatest mixed martial arts fighter as well. Considering we’ll have five death row inmates coming to challenge us…
Baki Training: Train Like Baki Hanma
You guys have been asking me to make a Baki training video for some time now, but I’ve been a little reluctant…
Baki is like Batman on steroids: he’s ostensibly a normal “human” and yet he can perform absolutely insane feats. Keisuke Itagaki attempts to provide logical explanations for many of Baki’s abilities: drawing on scientific explanations and genuine martial arts techniques.
Note: The full workout can be found at the bottom of this post!
The Problem With a Baki Workout
But here’s the thing: those explanations take some serious poetic license. Are endorphins a thing? Sure: but they won’t make you an invincible fighter! Surely adrenaline and the fight or flight response would have made more sense to go with here? Baki likewise can perform pull ups too fast for anyone to see, eventually snapping the pull up bar off and flying up into the air. When he sprints, he leaves craters behind him. His vertical jump is 20 foot.
And that’s the other problem: there’s just too much to delve into here. Where would we even start with a Baki training program? Carrying your entire gym gear up a mountain? Throwing yourself off a cliff? Wrestling apes? Fighting imaginary praying mantises?
I didn’t feel like a workout could really do justice to Baki’s training. Even if we tried to focus on his aesthetics, that would mean developing back musculature to the point of it looking like a demon face. Nothing in this manga is subtle!
But then I decided to take a step back and look at the themes here. Obviously we can’t develop a 20 foot vert, and I’m not going to recommend training to the point of hallucination. But we can apply some of the commonly occurring principles to our own workouts and take on the spirit of Baki training.
And this actually gives me an opportunity to talk about some awesome stuff. And to demonstrate some of the things I’ve spoken about recently but in a practical setting. Yes, it’s finally time for a Baki training video!

The Pillars of Baki Training
So, what are those themes and principles?
The good news is that many of these things go hand-in-hand!
Forget Beast mode, it’s time to go Baki mode!
Rotational Strength and Fighting Apes
A concept I have mentioned in passing many times on this channel, is the importance of rotational strength: but I’ve never gone into it in a lot of detail.
Rotational strength is your ability to exert force on the transverse plane: to twist your body against resistance. This is critical for fighters seeing as rotational strength is what you use when throwing a punch or a kick, AND it’s what you use when trying to twist an opponent to the floor.
Baki demonstrates his incredible power as a fighter early on in the first saga when he wrestles the Yasha-Crag Ape.
This is of course a little beyond the realms of believability (just a tad), but there is one real-world comparison we can draw: wrestlers that used to fight bears. The bears wore muzzles and had their nails clipped. It’s also extremely cruel and definitely not cool. But this still demonstrates just how much force a much smaller human is capable of generating. An ape would rip your arms off though!
Locked in a hold with a bear or an ape, your only hope would be to pull and twist them to the ground. And as I’ve discussed in the past, if all you’re doing is squats and deadlifts, you won’t have developed that amount of torque.
Why Fighters Need Rotational Strength
There are those that proclaim all you need is the big three lifts but this simply doesn’t make sense: twisting the body requires strength in the obliques, the serratus, and more. You can’t create muscle damage or metabolic stress or mechanical tension in muscles that aren’t directly involved in a movement – no matter how much you want that to be true. If strength applied globally like this, then you would only need one exercise! Sorry Mark.
This also ties into my recent discussions regarding the importance of training standing up. The bench press is performed lying down. Therefore, you aren’t bracing the spine and the core when you push and you aren’t coordinating that strength with feedback from your muscle spindles. As Olympic Wrestling Coach Dustin Myers explains:
“When you are on your back pressing up… it’s too late. You’re pinned! I think it’s important to de-emphasize everyone’s favorite exercise – the bench press – and incorporate some different types of presses that also require a lot of core and back stability.”
In other words, if you have amazingly powerful pecs but never use them in an upright stance, you’re more likely to push yourself over. And again, simply performing regular exercises that everyone else uses… that ain’t Baki training!

Pulling Strength for Grapplers
The same goes for pulling strength, which is even more important for a grappler. This is where band and cable training comes in, alongside sandbags, kettlebells, medicine balls, and clubbells. These challenge you in every plane, force you to fight against momentum and shifting centers of gravity, and challenge your strength endurance.
They also offer us the “repetition without repetition” that I discussed in the last video (a quote from legendary movement physiologist Nikolai Bernstein). Man, it’s almost like I plan these things out…
In other words, it’s no good only ever performing the same movement with perfect technique on a nice flat surface because that’s not how you use your strength in the real world. This is also the benefit of training outside, training barefoot, and more.
There is a reason that MMA fighters gravitate toward functional training methods and not simple powerlifting programs.
A Place for Traditional Weightlifting
I should note here that the Baki workout shown in the manga does include bench press. But his bench at age 16 is rated as “over 320lbs” at age 17 when the manga starts (at which point he’s already a champion). This is impressive, sure, but it’s not impossible. It’s is about his only “feat” that isn’t completely bonkers.
But the inclusion of the bench press is also good: because the bench press allows us to pack on weight and it allows us to somewhat isolate the pecs, triceps, and shoulders. This in turn means we can trigger more adaptation. The key is to practice this AND upright, dynamic movements in combination. Otherwise, you’re going to be really powerful at pushing yourself away from the opponent as you’ll lack the core stability necessary.
Baki carries all that weight AND his bench equipment up the mountain.
A Baki training program should place moves like the bench press and deadlift at the start of the workout (after warming up) and then follow these up with more complex movements that use a slightly lighter weight and incorporate endurance. Alternatively, we can place these on a separate day. Which may make more sense as most of us won’t want to carry our power racks into the woods.
What’s significantly MORE impressive than the bench itself, is that Baki carries all that weight AND his bench equipment up the mountain. That’s about a thousand times more difficult and impossible. Clearly: Baki favors functional strength. The kind of strength and endurance that comes from a farmers’ walk, up-hill.
Training Baki’s Iron Will
And this is where we see the other two aspects of Baki training come into play: pushing ourselves ridiculously far and training in a way that’s truly badass.
The strength endurance and work capacity are also critical here. A fighter needs to be able to continue exerting dynamic strength for a long period of time. Again, functional tools are perfect for this.
Recently, user Curtis Cameron shared a video with the Patreon-exclusive Bioneers Facebook Group that detailed the history of 19 th Century Indian Club Swinging Contests. You can watch the video over at Physical Culture Historians – it’s truly a fantastic and fascinating video. In it, we hear about club swinging strongmen like Thomas Bax, that were able to swing Indian clubs continuously for days on end. Without sleep! If that’s not Baki-levels of insane, I don’t know what is.
And this also demonstrates the crucial aspect of the iron will: of mental hardiness and pushing yourself past that point where you want to stop. Ex Navy SEAL and ultramarathon runner David Goggins talks about 40% rule: how at the point where your body tells you you can’t train any further, you probably only used up about 40% of your max capacity.
And this does trigger endorphins – certainly when performing endurance tasks – as this is what gives us the “runners’ high.”
The Return of Endorphins
I’m going to go into this in detail later, but suffice to say that we get feedback from our body regarding fatigue and exhaustion at least partially from the free nerve endings in the fascia: interoceptors. However, this raw data then needs to be interpreted by contextual cues and cues from the environment in order to result in an action or behavior. In short: if you can convince yourself that those fatigue signals are a good thing then you can overcome the desire to stop and power through.
But it’s crucial to understand the difference between your body making excuses for you and actual pain that signals an incoming injury. As much as Baki is cool, we do need to be smart about our training here.
But exercises like heavy carries and the car push are perfect demonstrations of moves that build endurance into their very DNA. This is something that JC Santana talks about: “recalibrating the human will” of his fighters. He explains in one talk how the car push is the perfect tool for this. Particularly as, when the car reaches the bottom of a decline, it’s important to keep pushing your hardest so as to maintain momentum for the next climb. Those athletes that give in to the temptation to ease up at this point are the ones who ultimately will fail.
The car push is also an ideal functional alternative to the squat that trains the legs the way they would be used when running or grappling while also including a vertical push element. If you’re driving to the woods to train with your kettlebells and sandbags, then you have your car on a dirt track somewhere ready to push!
Badass Baki Training
Now we’re out in the woods, swinging heavy clubs, heaving heavy rocks, carrying logs, and more. Maybe we’re pushing cars too. We’re training like real-life anime characters! And it’s no surprise that David Goggins also has a propensity for carrying logs around.
This is the closest thing to Baki Training I could conjure up, but it’s not new.
If you want a cool example of someone else who trains like this, then check out ex-spec ops Pat McNamara who trains like an absolute beast. And if you want to learn more about mace, kettlebell, and club training then definitely go check out Mark Wildman’s channel/website which is just the best resource for that kind of stuff.
And while we can’t go wrestling bears or apes, maybe we could try wrestling trees. Trees are the perfect isometric training tool, and again we’re drawing on great examples of historical strongmen here: like the Wrestler Gama who also trained with clubs and maces AND spent time trying to heave trees out of the ground. Gama reportedly won over 5,000 fights with no losses.
Gama also reportedly performed 1,000 Gama casts (which were presumably just called casts at that point!) with an 80lb club every single day.
Progressive Overload
What’s important during all this though, is to ensure that our Baki training is still built on a foundation of progressive overload. The problem with swinging things and lifting logs is that it can be tough to track progress. Again, that’s where it’s still useful to include exercises like the bench press, and also more dynamic movements that are easier to track and improve upon: like the cable woodchop, or calisthenics skills performed for high repetitions.
The Baki Workout
So, with all that said, what does our Baki workout look like? Here’s a four-day program that is built around functional training concepts, pushing yourself to the limits of your work capacity, and looking like a badass in the process.
Ideally, perform the three non-powerlifting days in the woods somewhere and bring a kettlebell and some bands with you. Failing that though, you can find most of what you need in most gyms these days. And there are plenty of ways to modify these concepts to use standard equipment. A barbell with weights on just one end is great alternative to a mace, and a dumbbell with one weight can work as a kettlebell.
Rest 1.5 minutes between exercises. Choose weights that bring you right up to failure at the end of the recommended number of sets (unless specifically stated otherwise).
Push Day
Pull Day
Leg Day
Strength Day
And there you go! That’s your Baki training routine. Just make sure to listen to your body and start out easy. Adapt to suit your current level and your available equipment. Remember: you are not an anime character!

Hello, you do an awesome Job. I like your articles very much. I just wanted to say thank you and I have linked your article about Baki Training in my own blog (https://vegathlet.de/trainieren-wie-ein-anime-held/). Really appreciate your work!
Kind regards,
Marcel
So i’ve done couple of different kind of workoutprogramms throughout the years but eversince i was little the “Jack of all traits” was my goal. I will try this workout regime and follow up with results, tho i am very advanced and almost pro level. However the Bioneer always fascinated me and continuety drops when you have to study and keep repeating the same workout over and over again. Which is why Corona has done me a great service. This workout seems like a mixture between my oldschool workout and my coronastyle workout so thanks for doing this.
