Nightwing vs Batman- martial arts wise?

Although Batman knows every martial art known to man, I think Nightwing can stack up against him with his conditioning and acrobatic feats. What do you guys think?

Update:

Nightwing's Powers and Abilities

Master Detective: Grayson is a world class detective on par to the likes of Batman. He was rigorously trained by the Dark Knight in everything from escapology to criminology, fencing, stealth, disguise, and numerous other combat/non-combat disciplines.

Master Acrobat: Grayson is a prodigious natural athlete, possessing a peak human level of agility/acrobatic skills. He is generally regarded as the greatest human acrobat in the DC universe. Batman himself is a incredible athlete in agility, but even he gives the advantage in that area over to Nightwing. As he is the only person on Earth who can do the quadruple somersault (formerly one of three, the other two being his parents).

Master Martial Artist: He is a master of many martial arts disciplines with an emphasis on Aikido, Jeet Kune Do, Escrima, Tae Kwon Do, Judo, Wing Chun, Hapkido, Jiu-jitsu, Shotokan Karate, Savate, Kendo, Ninjitsu, Boxing and Tang Soo Do . He has effectively combined the mart

Update 2:

sry let me add the remainder of the article: He has effectively combined the martial arts he has mastered into a unique style that suits his strengths. This makes him one of DCs top tier martial artists.

Peak Human Conditioning: Dick Grayson possesses the peak athletic strength and endurance of a man who regularly engages in intensive physical exercise.

Multi-lingual: Having had the finest education as Bruce Wayne's ward, he speaks with fluency in English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Farsi (Persian), Mandarin and Cantonese, and has some knowledge of Romany and the alien language of Tamaran.

Skilled Leader: He is also a brilliant and experienced strategist with superlative leadership skills, having served as leader to the Titans, the Outsiders, and even the Justice League. Additionally, Dick's efforts to remain in contact with other heroes makes him a master at rallying, unifying, and inspiring the superhero community, a skill in which he has surpassed his mentor.

Update 3:

Huge fan of Nightwing.

Update 4:

I think the win will go in favor of Nightwing because of the physical and mental attributes. Batman may know all fifty techniques in incapacitating a person but I am pretty sure Nightwing is sharp enough to predict his moves from personal experience.

    Batman and Nightwing have their ups and downs; Nightwing has an advantage in the speed and acrobatic category, while Batman has more strength and styles that he uses; also he trained Nightwing. Overall I think Batman would win solely on the fact that he's had more experience in the field.

    Nightwing would win but not easily since nightwing is roughly the same height as batman with the same build as well, nightwing also became the dark knight himself. Nightwing has incredibly strong legs, he is able to kick a person through a thick concrete wall and was able to break Deathstroke's solid steel mask with one blow. Nightwing is also as smart as Batman since he invented very similar gadgets, as well as some that Batman doesn't have. Nightwing has lightning fast reactions as he is able to dodge bullets and catch the flash's punch, and he is also the strongest among the rest of the robins since he won against Jason Todd, the most dangerous of the robins, to become the Batman after Bruce Wayne's death. Batman has also admitted that Nightwing was a formidable foe.

    It'd be pretty equal since Bats trained NW. However i'd go with Batman since he knows all the tricks of the trade & even with all of NW's training he'd still be outmatched, outclassed,& outsmarted.
