Training Montage | comment |
A variant of the Hard-Work Montage in which a character builds themselves up over time in preparation for a battle or athletic competition. Usually accompanied by uplifting music. If it's supposed to be taken seriously, they'll use something original, or just appropriate. If they're going for a full-on parody, it'll be one of the most well-recognised montage songs, or something reminiscent. If "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky can't be used, then Joe Esposito's "You're the Best" or Survivor's immortal "Eye Of The Tiger" makes for a good substitute. Closely related to the Lock-and-Load Montage, and often overlaps with the Failure Montage and Testing Range Mishap. See also Workout Fanservice. Examples |

Buffyverse: Lampshaded in the Musical Episode "Once More, With Feeling". The influence of a demon keeps making the residents of Sunnydale break out into song and dance. Buffy is doing weapons training with Giles. Angel played it perfectly straight when Angel gets ready to hunt down Darla and Drusilla. It's also played straight in the Buffy movie. Subverted in "When She Was Bad", where Buffy's relentless pounding is used to show she's Not Herself. |

Samurai Jack has this in spades. The pilot has is the Boot Camp Episode, with Jack living with a buttload of characters. The "Jack learns to Jump Good" episode has two of them back-to-back; first Jack teaches a tribe of apes how to set traps and defend themselves from a rival tribe, and then they teach him how to "jump good" by weighing him down with stones and have him run and jump all around the jungle. | |

Sluggy Freelance: In "Torg Potter and the Giblets with Fiber", Torg is supposed to compete in a magical tournament, but unknown to most people he's actually got no magic skills. Homogenize Milktoast thinks they might be able to train him and casts a "montahjio cinematicus" spell to show a quick montage (ironically, not shown in the comic) of the training and skip straight to the result. The comic skips to Torg being a Bandage Mummy. | |

They did the joke again in Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, their parody of The Empire Strikes Back, with Luke Skywalker/Chris playing the part of Rocky whilst Yoda takes Paulie's role in the other training montage from Rocky IV, complete with cutting to the footage of Ivan Drago training from the movie.

Arrow: "The Odyssey". In a flashback to when he was marooned on Lian Yu, Oliver Queen is being trained by Slade Wilson with the requisite montage, but in a subversion his skills don't miraculously improve and he makes a mess of the one job Slade gives him to do (taking out the guard in the control tower) requiring Slade to save him. The episode "The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak" opens with a montage of Oliver training Roy, Laurel learning boxing from Ted Grant, and Merlyn teaching Thea, causing Thea to wonder what normal people do in the morning. Answer Cut to Felicity doing sit-ups before a workout video and brushing her teeth. |

Used several times in The Simpsons. In "Simpsons Bible Stories", Bart (King David) trains with a flock of sheep in preparation for his battle with Nelson (Goliath II). "Bart the General" features a Training the Peaceful Villagers montage as Bart's army prepares to fight the bullies. In the parody vignette "Bartman Begins," Bart Simpson trains to become Bartman after his parents are murdered by Snake (who appears first as a common hood in the Joe Chill mold and later as a reptile-themed supervillain), and he does so in an "old-timey montage" on grainy film that looks like something from between the 1890s and the 1940s. (Apparently, someone forgot to tell the animators that Batman Begins, despite being set during a "depression," is supposed to be taking place in the modern day.) Subverted in "Homer The Whopper", where his trainer wants to do a montage to "Eye of the Tiger". Homer protests "Aww, that song is a little on the nose. Can we do it to David Bowie's "Heroes?"" Eventually, they decide to just skip ahead a month. |

Inverted in the Daffy Duck cartoon, "Holiday for Drumsticks". To "save" Tom, a turkey destined for Thanksgiving dinner, Daffy coaches him through an exercise regimen to help him lose weight — while packing away all the food (and the pounds) the farmers have set out to fatten him up. The training montage is on a split screen, with Tom working himself rail-thin in one half, and Daffy stuffing his beak in the other, with the opposite effect on his physique. In the end, Daffy is the one threatened with ending up on the dinner table. | |

Used in Ayane's High Kick when the eponymous hero is training for (what she believes to be) her first Pro-wrestling/Kickboxing mixed martial arts match. The montage includes her practicing punches and kicks near the road by car-light, getting in the stomach by her trainer with a medicine ball while doing sit-ups, doing pull-ups while wearing a weight-suit, and of course jogging up stairs. All set to an upbeat rock tune, as one would expect. | |

The King's Speech: Here the sport is public speaking, and there are two such montages here. However, the first such sequence may be an Anti-training montage; Albert goes through a ton of humiliating exercises, juxtaposed with his latest speech in which he still sounds horrid. That's exactly what Lionel wants, since his point is that mechanics alone won't fix Albert. | |

Bruce Wayne's training with the League of Shadows in Batman Begins is mostly shown via montage. The accompanying music is more brooding than uplifting, as befits the idea that it's a Batman movie and they're planning to use him to destroy Gotham. A short one appears in The Dark Knight Rises, with Bruce getting back in shape while in the Pit. |

The Night Unfurls: The limitations of this genre means that no music or soundtrack is played, but several chapters of the original open with training sessions between Kyril and his apprentices. In all occasions, they are shown sparring against each other, and they don't have to worry about any long-lasting injuries, thanks to their wounds healing faster in the Hunter's Dream. Not every single moment of their training process is shown, in order to avoid long-winded training arcs that are unrelated to the main plot at large. | |

Rocky series, obviously, although it's a bit different in every movie, but it's usually set to some variation of "Gonna Fly Now", and this trope was previously called "Gonna Fly Now Montage": In the first, it's "Gonna Fly Now". In Rocky II, it's a remixed Gonna Fly Now, only with kids added in to show how much everybody loves Rocky. Prior to that there is a training montage set to the "Going the Distance" music from the first movie. In Rocky III, Gonna Fly Now returns yet again. In Rocky IV , we have both a regular training music montage and "Hearts on Fire". In Rocky V, the featured song is "Go For It! (Heart and Fire)". Rocky Balboa saw a rousing return of "Gonna Fly Now". Creed, where Rocky is the trainer instead of the trainee, features Meek Mill's "Lord Knows / Fighting Stronger". |

Inverted in Lucifer when Amenadiel has to pretend to be human for a cage fight, which means not using his superpowers. So we get a montage where his skills decrease as he struggles to hit a punching bag without sending it flying across the gym, lift weights while pretending to strain at the effort, and catch a chicken without using his time-stopping power. | |

Subverted in Excel♡Saga, when Excel has to win a bowling competition and runs into Nabeshin in a restroom, who reveals he is a legendary bowling coach and offers to train her. The show then skips directly to the END of the training montage with the two of them watching the sunset on a beach Karate-Kid style and Nabeshin saying "I've taught you all I know." Excel then reveals that the reason we didn't see any training is because there wasn't any; all they did was go look at a sunset. Pedro, however, plays it straight (Rocky parodies aside), when he is training to fight Gomez. |

Neon Genesis Evangelion played it surprisingly straight when Shinji and Asuka have to learn how to work together by playing some weird Japanese hybrid of Twister and DDR. Also includes exploding calendar. Notable because the episode was produced about four years before the original DanceDanceRevolution was introduced. Watch it today and you're liable to think that the bit was inspired by DDR. In fact, considering how monumentally popular Eva was in Japan, the reverse may be true. | |

Samurai Champloo: In the Baseball Episode, Manzou the Saw is narrating events, including scenes in which our heroes are learning the mysterious art of baseball in a single night. "At this point things get rather boring, so I'll skip the details." Mugen is challenged by a so-far undefeatable samurai with mysterious powers, their duel to take place at the next full moon. For once he's not sure he can defeat his opponent, so Mugen engages in activities such as chopping wood, balancing on logs, carrying heavy statues up temple stairs, meditating by a waterfall, bungy-jumping off a tori gate, and falling asleep from sheer exhaustion. |

The main character of Persepolis sings along to her "Eye of the Tiger" montage near the end of the film. Considering that she is an Iranian who almost exclusively speaks Persian and French, that she tackles the song in its native English, and she's not actually very good at singing in any case, the results are...amusing. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged has a montage in the year before the fight with Vegeta and Nappa set to a parody of "I'll Make a Man Out of You". It's also Parodied when Goku decides to train using his spaceship's artificial gravity chamber on his way to Namek while listening to training montage style music as many people do in Real Life. After turning down the obvious ones like "Gonna Fly Now," "Live To Win" and "Montage," he settles on "Cooking By The Book". The audience is mercifully spared the montage. | |

Subverted in Captain America: The First Avenger. Before Steve Rogers takes the Super Serum, there's a training montage of him on a military obstacle course that shows just how hopeless he is. After taking the serum he becomes the buff and famous Captain America, but is stuck on the propaganda circuit convincing people to buy war bonds. As per this trope he's shown as awkwardly reading his lines at the start, gets better and more confident as the montage continues, only for it to suddenly end with him being mocked by unimpressed frontline soldiers in Italy. | |

The Colbert Report featured a spooferific training montage in the first episode of the revamped web-animated cartoon Tek Jansen. The Background Music was clearly a parody of "You're the Best" by Joe Esposito. The 4/11/12 episode has Stephen giving a Marine civilian job training... as a television pundit, with a training montage of practicing which camera to talk at, jumping for the microphone, beating strawmen, and wearing a suit, accompanied by a trumpet version of the theme. |

Also brilliantly spoofed/lampshaded in "Asspen", and then in an identical fashion in the movie Team America: World Police: textbook-perfect training montages are accompanied by the song 'Montage,' which helpfully notes that "In anything, if you want to go / From just a beginner to a pro / You need a montage." This is also something of a subversion because Stan still skis like a beginner after the montage. | |

Sing 2: Johnny's dance lessons with Nooshy are shown through a montage. They start early in the morning and continue well into the night. Johnny starts out uncertain and often pausing to look over to Nooshy for direction. As the scenes progress, he grows more and more confident, steady, and skilled in his moves, and they are shown moving in sync without pause. | |

Odd Squad: In "Agent Obfusco", the eponymous agent puts Olive and Otto through training as part of their Odd Squad test, which includes doing push-ups and sit-ups, reciting the name of every single agent working at the precinct, swimming a lap in the ball pit, and playing a game in the South Control Room which involves sticking a green pole into the correct hole in a control panel. They're also shown dancing with Obfusco while dressed in cowboy attire, moustaches and all. The entire montage is set to Obfusco's "I Am" Song. "License to Science" has one as well that's just as silly and nonsensical. Half of it consists of Otis training Oona for her upcoming test at the Department of Motorized Gadgets. The other half...is Otis showing off his incredible dance moves. For the cherry on top, the song that accompanies it, dubbed "You'd Better (Better, Better, Better) Be Ready" by fans, is amazing and sounds like something straight out of The '80s. The first part of the Season 2 finale, "Who is Agent Otis?", has one involving Oprah training Otis, a former villain, to shed his duck mannerisms and act more human in nature while also training him in the ways of being an Odd Squad agent. While he has a rocky start initially, he eventually gets the hang of things and is made a full-fledged Investigation agent. |

Lampshaded to hell and back in the Regular Show episode "No Train No Gain". Real-time Training Montages appear as a form of time compression, with Pops and his tutor teleporting around the park like scene transitions as Pops perform tasks as Chinese-style music plays throughout the park. Eventually Mordecai and Rigby have had enough with the music, and the montage scenes are interrupting their daily life. So they change the music to a song that's several minutes longer and notably faster, "Through the Fire and the Flames" by Dragonforce. It works, but the montage goes haywire as Pops' training brings him to Physical God levels, eventually ending up in a void with Pops performing multiple tasks at once in splitscreen, and other characters appearing as half-visible overlays. | |

By the end of the montage, it's next day and SpongeBob is still training an obviously exhausted Gary. In "Mrs. Puff You're Fired", Sergeant Roderick insists that SpongeBob must practice crawling, walking, and running through an obstacle course before he can be deemed fit to drive. Cue a montage of said practice. "License to Milkshake" gives this treatment to learning to make milkshake. Granted, the learning method is rather over-the-top and montage-worthy. And SpongeBob fails in all of them. |

In the Team Fortress 2 supplemental materials, Scout has had some luck with "tramps", but is ultimately hopeless when it comes to "ladies", like the team's secretary/assistant/cleaner Miss Pauling, a woman who reads and always has her glasses on a little crooked. All of his attempts to woo her are either ultimately shut down, or end in awkward stammering. In the 15-minute short Expiration Date, he eventually comes to Spy, admitting that Spy's better with women than he is. Spy attempts to educate Scout on the art of seduction, dinner, dancing, etc., but Scout doesn't seem to get it. Ultimately, it seems to have been a test of Scout's will, as he finally impresses Spy by just showing Pauling he cares for her, looking out for her, and asking her out upfront. He ultimately doesn't get the girl, but it seems to be mostly because their boss gives her zero time off. | |

This Bites!: In Chapter 27, while Luffy, Usopp and Chopper are looking for the South Bird and Masira is busy upgrading the Merry, the rest of the crew has one of these: Zoro and Leo spar to both see how Leo can improve and give Zoro a good fight, Sanji and Boss spar to break in Boss's new weapon, Vivi and Carue spar with Raphey and Mikey to help get the former used to their new weapons, Donny helps Nami with her staff-fighting, Robin "weight-lifts" using her extra arms, Shoujou helps Soundbite hone his Gastro-Blast technique, and Cross goes running with Lassoo in his bazooka form to get used to the weight. In Chapter 35, after gaining knowledge on future techniques and other info that they can use to get stronger from Cross, they enter another one: Zoro perfects the Nine Sword Style: Asura technique and works on Iron Body; Sanji works on Diable Jambe, Tempest Kick, Moonwalk, and Shave; Conis figures out just how much of a Walking Arsenal she can become while Su makes sure she doesn't overload herself; Lassoo joins them; Usopp and Nami work out how to integrate the Eisen Whip into the now Perfect Clima-Tact; Cross tests his new armor and general fighting style with Mikey and Donny's help, the remaining dugongs train in their own way, and Vivi and Carue are... running laps while presumably working with the necklace they gained in Alabasta. Luffy, notably, is absent for the first half of this regime because he's rendered unconscious by Chopper, who worked to lessen, if not outright prevent, the lasting effects that Gear Second or its prototype will have on Luffy. |

Kick-Ass: The original comic has one which consists of Dave working out and telling us he did some Judo. The interquel Hit-Girl (set between the first and the second series) has one for Chris, who goes to Japan to learn combat from ninjas... Who give him impressive-looking but utterly useless exercises (even explicitely ripping off Batman Begins) so the rich but foolish American kid will continue paying them. This continues until Chris catches on and decides to just hire a bodyguard. And he doesn't hire any of the ninjas. |

One occurs in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Call of the Cutie'', when Rainbow Dash coaches Apple Bloom in a number of different activities, all in the hopes of helping her find the thing that will become her life calling and cause her cutie mark to appear. Fluttershy gets on in "Hurricane Fluttershy" where her animal friends help her learn to be a stronger flier. Making it a literal example of the old name, "Gonna Fly Now Montage".''' but uses some original BGM. |

Vince McMahon had a hilarious training montage in 1999 when he was preparing to enter the Royal Rumble, being coached by his son Shane and being made to chase a chicken and drink raw eggs, among other things. And another one in the summer of 2009, when he and D-Generation X teamed up to battle The Legacy. Triple H was holding a paddle up for Vince to punch when Carlito came into Vince's office and started complaining about something trivial. Hilariously, Triple H held the paddle in front of Carlito's face and then yanked it away at the last second, causing Carlito to get punched out! |

Edmond Dantes is trained by the old priest while in prison, in The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). At first it's academic subjects, but then Dantes asks to be trained in swordplay and combat. The old priest agrees, albeit reluctantly. The progress of the training is visually represented by the tunnel that they dig. | |

South Park: Spoofed in the World of Warcraft episode, when the boys are training their characters up to defeat the Internet Troll who has been ruining the game for everyone; whilst the in-game shots shows their characters gradually improving, as they are are spending all their time eating junk food in front of computers the out-game shots of the montage show the boys gradually getting fatter, spottier and further out of shape over time. The song that plays in the background during this scene is "Live to Win" by Paul Stanley, one of the members of KISS. Funnily enough, the episode with the song was released before Paul's album. Also brilliantly spoofed/lampshaded in "Asspen", and then in an identical fashion in the movie Team America: World Police: textbook-perfect training montages are accompanied by the song 'Montage,' which helpfully notes that "In anything, if you want to go / From just a beginner to a pro / You need a montage." This is also something of a subversion because Stan still skis like a beginner after the montage. And then there is the episode "The Losing Edge" where Randy goes through a training montage training to beat the other fathers at Stan's baseball games set to the song You're The Best Around. He even sings it in a high-pitched voice when he's fighting the father he's been training the hardest against. Sort of. "You're the best...Around! Yamma-damma-damma-damma-hey!" In "Up the Down Steroid", Cartman trains himself to fake mental retardation so he can get into the Special Olympics (he figures he can easily beat the others since they are mentally handicapped and he is not; he's wrong) to the tune of Paul Engemann's "Push It to the Limit" from Scarface. |

Predictably, she's unsteady for the beginning, but all of a sudden, it does a 180 and everything starts coming absolutely natural to her, and she learns even faster than Dimitri and Vlad expected. That's because she actually IS Anastasia: the training started to break through her amnesia. | |

The Karate Kid (1984) spoofs this, by showing the training without uplifting music and Daniel resenting the training, since he hasn't been told of its purpose - he thinks it's simple household chores. Later used straight becoming one of the definitive training montages that gets parodied today with the aforementioned "You're the Best" theme (which in the film itself only appears during the tournament montage, not during training). Carried over into Cobra Kai, when Daniel uses this tactic on Robby. |

Family Guy did this in an episode, showing Brian getting ready for college finals by training on top of a mountain (explicitly spoofing the Hearts On Fire sequence from Rocky IV). Which did nothing to help him study, as he and Stewie note a few seconds later. They did the joke again in Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, their parody of The Empire Strikes Back, with Luke Skywalker/Chris playing the part of Rocky whilst Yoda takes Paulie's role in the other training montage from Rocky IV, complete with cutting to the footage of Ivan Drago training from the movie. At the end of the montage Luke/Chris points out that "it kinda seems like the Dark Side has a better gym than us." |

Used in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Harry training his classmates in defensive magic, along with a parallel montage of Umbridge and her lackeys trying to foil them. | |

Bananas has one. Being a Woody Allen film, though, Hilarity Ensues. | |

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes: In "Gar Trains Punching Judy", Punching Judy gets a training montage from Mr. Gar, but when she asks for a pep talk Gar just makes her do the montage over again two more times. At the climax of the cartoon, K.O. and Judy give Mr. Gar an "emotional training montage" to get him to open up enough to give a Rousing Speech. | |

In Gravity Falls episode "Dipper Vs Manliness", we have a twofer; a montage that mixes Dipper manliness training under the manotaurs with Mabel's attempts to make Grunkle Stan more charming and attractive. Actually lampshaded by Mabel; "This is going to take some really good training music" (Takes out a CD labeled 'Training Mix') | |

In The Gentleman Pirate, after Stede has been screwed over one too many times, he asks his quartermaster to help him become a better pirate, leading to one of these. The song that plays was supposed to have lyrics but ended up being cut in favor of the instrumental. | |

Mob Psycho 100 parodies this with an appropriately labeled Hardcore Training Montage, showing Mob preparing for a five-minute student council president campaign speech with a series of increasingly ridiculous and irrelevant training exercises such as Meditating Under a Waterfall and sumo-wrestling wild bears. | |
