How does Eggsy become so efficient in fight? - Illustration of woman analyzing financial line graphic

The first half of the movie, Eggsy (the main character) doesn't seem good in fighting. We don't see him really fight but he certainly doesn't seem that good.

He gets bullied by his father in law even when he is alone with him (when the father is with all his friends, it makes sense not to do anything at 1 vs 5-6).

I understand he might have had some training during the "interview" process but when he goes to save the world, he has become a real machine. And the interview process doesn't last for more than few weeks at best.

So how can he become this good in such a short time?

And also, the last contestant who got eliminated from the interview, doesn't seem like he can fight in the last scenes.



Best Answer

It's a combination of a few things.

  1. Harry periodically drops comments about how his background and how talented Eggsy is: high IQ, possible Olympic caliber gymnast, high weapons scores, some Royal Marine training, etc.

  2. The training scenes suggest a lot of training that isn't explicitly shown. Obviously they were trained as snipers as suggested in the one scene with Charlie as a spotter. Merlin also mentions they were taught neuro-linguistic programming before the seduction test. It is safe to assume there was a lot of combat training that wasn't shown.

  3. Suspension of disbelief. The movie is a goofy love-letter to old James Bond films so realism takes a backseat to entertaining. If we are willing to accept that Harry can stab someone to death with a pistol frame, then we can make the leap that Eggsy became very dangerous due to his training. :)
