My friend just returned from the shaolin temple (yes he was promoted from shaolin academy into the temple). And he tells me they either train with "goals" or they go into insane numbers eg 2000 pushups or 10000 situps. Otherwise they give themselves tasks which require a lot of energy as training. For example, they hang their legs from a bar with a bucket hanging next to their legs. Then they have to scoop up water out of a container underneath them. What do they use to scoop ? Those little "bowls" you eat boiled eggs out of. Or the 80 (100?) kg kettle they use to pour tea is also insane.

In egypt there is a place where the pharaohs drew over 200 grappling techniques on a wall. I was there and it looks a lot like wrestling and BJJ. If I remembered the name I could have noted it down. I think typing pharonic wrestling in google might get you some results. Another thing is Turkish wrestling, which is disgusting yet very effective. Its basically mud wrestling, originally in the nude, nowadays they wear some really tight leather stuff around their torso. Turkish wrestling includes anal grabs and other sick takedowns and locks, because its one of the only places you can get a firm hold when the fighters pre-oil themselves before fighting in mud. Sadly, im pretty sure those nudists could beat any dogi wearer in most cases.

I just got to dubai recently and I want to find a Daido Juku dojo here. If anyone knows any please note them down on this page. Cheers
