Whats the most extreme thing you do to train.

hmm... well, i used to park outside in negative, nasty degree weather, with only a shirt and pants on, and focus on being at peace. I wouldn't shake or shiver, or get goose bumps due to the cold or wind.

 

Unfortunately, i did get pnuemonia a few times and this taught me a more important lesson. That your body's functions have a purpose, and if you attempt to control them, rather than accept them, you endanger your health.

I chose MA over my GF for one day. Now that is extreme.

...and you lived to tell the tale??

 

That was a very brave thing to do!

to make sure i was on track id take on 3 or 4 guys my size all at once and see where i came out. any group of fools in an alley or bar will do, you just have to make sure theyre not armed somehow. (easier in the summer time.)

 

Taking on unarmed people, "fools", who you SHOULD have an advantage over, in an uncontrolled environment. Wow, You're brave and smart.

 

I'd brag too.

I almost hope one of em gets a crowbar out of a pocket...

I dont remember ... where am I................?????????

[Hudson]

I have no clue where you are.

 

Any way, the most extreme thing I ever did for the MAs? Unfortunately its not as extreme as the other guy but I do meditate in the woods behind my house for long periods of time as well, up to 8 hours.

Yes, however I've been taking 'time off' of MAs... Atleast it gives my ankle the much needed months of rest.

That's not training, it's stupidity.

I've trained barefoot outside in the snow before (when it was actually snowing, not just when it had snowed). That was part of a training course I went on which was run by a Sensei with a reputation for being 'hard' and 'tough' on the students. Someone (no, not me) foolishly said within earshot of Sensei "oh, well, at least he's not making us train outside today", to which Sensei replied "what a good idea!".

 

Apart from that, I've not really done much 'extreme training'. I've had some long meditation sessions and done a little conditioning training on my shins and the tops of my feet, but nothing like the training that some of the people on here have performed.

 

However, I train enough to be able to perform martial arts to a decent standard. I'll never be a competitor in Pride or UFC, so the training I do is good enough for me.
