** Jarvis also boasts about how he's been training in fencing, judo, and boxing (by the Queensbury rules), meaning that he's now very deadly. Which is also pretty funny given that fencing and judo are both very sports-oriented, rather than combat-oriented, fighting techniques, and absolutely no one in a street fight will ''ever'' care about Queensbury rules.
