This is a point in a story where one of the characters, usually an Action Survivor, feels a need to take action against the Big Bad. The problem is, they can't fight. Cue The Protagonist going to a trusted friend who can, and asking to be taught. They agree, but although the two are on friendly terms, the training is anything but easy. It's sometimes even Training from Hell but the protagonist takes a level in badass by the end of it. Cue Look What I Can Do Now!. Note that they actually have to ask for the training themselves.

Change 123 uses this trope twice, both times a boy asks a girl to teach him... well, not actually how to fight, since both boys do indeed have some confidence and experience in fighting (one of them is a black belt in judo and another one a fearless street brawler), but rather how to take their fighting skills to a higher level. | |

In Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, young archer Wolt asks Old Soldier Marcus for sword training, since he feels he'd be able to protect his friend and liege-lord Roy better if he was closer to the fight. Marcus refuses because Wolt is too old to begin learning nownote Wolt is about 15, but he's already on the battlefield and knights often began learning from age eight and because he thinks Wolt should be proud of the skills he already has with a bow. | |

In The Vampire Diaries, Elena goes to Alaric for fighting lessons. While she can't really compete with the superpowered fighters, she does take a small level in badass. Probably comes in handy once she becomes a vampire herself. | |

Shakugan no Shana. Yuji is a Non-Action Guy, but his insistence on keeping up with Shana's demon-hunting lifestyle led him to receive Training from Hell from several different sources, eventually taking several levels in Badass. Most striking is when he's being pushed around by a minor demon, who intends to use him as bait to draw out Shana. He suddenly realizes that this guy is well below his current power-level, and proceeds to kick his ass. Yep, Yuji's all grown up now... | |

Mahou Sensei Negima!. Negi is already quite good at the start of the manga (it's suspected that he's been training from age four), but it really gets serious when he asks Evangeline to teach him. Several of Negi's students (especially Asuna) also begin training, if they weren't competent fighters already. |

Oh god poor Shirahama Kenichi in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple . As the show goes on, one starts to wonder if he would've been better if he just lost the match to Daimonji. On the other hand, the benefits of the training far outweigh the initial (and admittedly still ongoing) terrors Kenichi faces from his masters; he takes several levels in badass to the point that he's able to hold his own against low-level Master-class fighters (even if he doesn't actually win) and he even increases his own training regimen without his masters' input. This is far more evident in the manga, which is still ongoing after the anime ended. |

Richard Cypher of the Sword of Truth spends a good portion of the first book doing this, until he takes up the mantle of the Seeker and starts calling the shots. He's a woodsman who doesn't even let himself be angry because his mother was killed by a fire caused by an angry outburst. He knows questing, and killing, from nothing. | |

Luke's arc as a Jedi in training (Star Wars Episodes IV and V) begins with the death of his guardian family on Tatooine, starting with Obi-Wan Kenobi as his mentor, but this trope is particularly invoked when he goes to Dagoba and trains with Yoda, where Yoda at first rebuffs his request for training, the training is particularly challenging, and he clearly does Take a Level in Badass when that training is finished. | |

Shirou from Fate/stay night. Saber starts training him just to shut him up and convince him that he's out of his league fighting Servants. In the Fate route, she then notes that his body is quite well-trained, and continues the training to help him survive against Servants for a few seconds or possibly take down other Masters. In Unlimited Blade Works, thanks to Archer's skills seeping into him Shirou can somewhat keep up with Saber, but she then becomes very dissatisfied because he's performing better using Archer's technique rather than hers. | |

Yugito warns her that any training she gets will not be a picnic, but Hinata accepts the condition nonetheless. Following the Time Skip, Hinata's become skilled enough to beat Sasuke in a spar, bearing in mind that Sasuke had previously shown himself able to fight Naruto on even footing without either one holding back. | |

With a name like The Karate Kid, you can probably guess that this happens without seeing the movie. In fact, this is pretty much universal in kung fu movies not starring Jet Li, Bruce Lee, or Chuck Norris. Taken to extremes when the "teacher" is so completely non-badass that the suspension of disbelief is completely broken, e.g. Billy Blanks, Pat Morita, Mako, etc. |
