Can an average person who works a full time job become capable enough to rival a secret agent like James Bond or John Wick on their own ? (lemmings.world)

If so what kind of training they would have to go through ? By training I mean the spatial and situational awareness, combat skills (this is kinda unrealistic), enough knowledge to turn any situation to their advantage etc.

Just think of the person as your average joe who financially has nothing to spend on high tech gadgets or state of the art training equipment. And doesn't even have any support from another human being. Basically one has to train from the ground up alone.

Don't limit the answers to just James Bond and John wick, you can even consider any realistically possible superhero or supervillain (like batman or taskmaster) as well.

So what's your take ?

I'm sorry, no mortal can withstand the sheer level of alcohol that 007 goes through on a day to day basis.

If your tap tap shots skills are good, it is completely possible. Everything will be successful.

These have some implied requirements like being ivy league material and a certified patriot. They are also both essentially superprodigies who can only exist in fiction.

You can take a self-defense class, though. Get someone to train you with weapons and parkour, and you are all set to be an average person with self-defense, gun training, and some novice-level parkour abilities.

No, there are very specialized aspects of their professions that people in other professions don't get.
