This is not practical advice per se, but fertile ground for acculmulating very manly skills.
Be more like Batman!
Batman is a "normal" man, without super human powers, but has honed his skills and knowledge to a powerful level. He is skilled in hand to hand combat. He is skilled in engineering. He is a skilled driver. He is skilled in weapons. He has a great knowledge of science. He is in peak physical condition. He has the balls to do what others don't, and he doesn't brag about any of it. You don't have to
be Batman, just use the philosophy of Batman to better yourself.
For example:
* Learn something about your car that you can fix yourself.
* Take a defensive driving course, or have a track day
* Read a book on a science topic that you haven't read before
* Learn something detailed in an area of anatomy or medicine
* Start working out (or keep working out)
* Help a stranger
* For the weapons thing, it could be something as harmless as learning to juggle. It's not a weapon, but it's a skilled use of an object. For me, I like to learn a new Poi trick.
* Hand to hand combat might indeed invole learning a martial art, or maybe tai chi even. Or taking up a competitive team sport. Heck just getting out in the back yard and practicing some karate kicks is better than nothing
Batman has a whole range of skills I haven't covered. He can be a powerful source of inspiration for being a better man. Every step closer to being more like Batman can only be a good thing.
Batman!
