What should I expect next?

Question

I decided to stay in my school and keep studying the Steal Generation MMA System, with our Shidoshi John Threadstone. Anvil training is tough but Shidoshi says that I am doing good now. I made it passed horseshoe training and the next few months are going to be harder for me.

I have to get toughened up, so the instructors spend the first and last 10 minutes of the class taking turns punching me in the core and smacking me across the back with wooden planks. I also have to punch a concrete wall 25 times a night to strengthen my hands. Sometimes they use the nail gun to get me used to impaling weapons. I think the worse part is doing 100 pushups afterwards. It hurts a lot, but they say that by the time I finish my black belt that I will be able to drive nails into a board with my bare hands like that guy in the in the movie Fists of Fury.

How long does this take? Can anyone tell me what to expect next? How long until it stops hurting so much? Is it normal to bleed so much?

Answer 1

Im sorry to hear of your suffering. You need to think of all the cool things you will be able to do when you are done, like outrunning trains and dodging bullets and eating them.

Start practicing eating glass bottles and walking on hot coals, to get you prepared. You should also get a hot glue gun and melt the stuff on all your sensitive areas....this will make you stronger.

Any time you are out with your friends, ask them to run you over with their cars....this will get you used to impacts.

Keep it up buddy, you are doing great !

How long does it take? About as long as the time it takes you to finally decide to get a lawyer and sue their as$es off for using a nail gun on you : P You gotta be kidding me, I can understand corporal punishment and hard physical endurance and conditioning training. But a nail gun? What's next? A chainsaw is my guess. If you bleed a lot during classes then that means they're not teaching you right. Unless you're a masochist, the whole point of taking self defense classes is to avoid shedding your own blood in the first place. Besides, I never heard of an MMA school that gives out black belts. And driving a nail into a board is about as useful as learning how to catch flies with a chopstick, it looks cool but is absolutely useless in a real fight. Unless you plan on a career in the circus that is.

Click on the links below to learn the teachings of the Wachtower Bible and Tract Society. A few verses can be convincingly used by followers of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society to justify the "must not list" above. The Jehovah's Witnesses already know the list what they do not know is Jesus. Attacking causes them to dig in their heels even when they have been shown to be wrong. Christians do not do many things either because they are not of God Almighty or the teachings of Jesus, Often people just criticise the Jehovah's Witnesses rather than plant seeds. People allow a discussion to turn into a scripture debate rather than educate. Find out what they have doubts about. How? They will avoid talking about these. All JWs have doubts but fear bringing these up. You may want to hand them a printed copy of link three below. You may want to read and print out the Christian apologetics about the Watchtower in link four. There is so much documented information that if any JW was open minded and looked they would turn away from The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. The Watchtower slides convincing doctrine past a "study" and hooks the person in before they have a chance to look into the history. If a person does the teachers just claim it is the work of people that were former JWs called apostates. Later this is called the work of Satan. No matter how secular the source. The variation on Satan's lie in the garden that the Watchtower uses is that "you shall surly not die" but have eternal life in paradise. Many JWs have doubts to the veracity of the Watchtower but are afraid to question be reason of total shunning where in a person loses all family and friends that a nurtured and powerful dependence has developed on. By the time a person is approved for baptism they have divested themselves of almost all nonJW relationships and even family. So being disfellowshipped and shunned is a powerful device and deterrent to questioning the organization. The person then needs to develop cognitive dissonance thinking and forms of denial to remain a JW. Since JWs are often in strong denial about the factual history it is often best to show the error in theology and wait for God Almighty through the Holy Spirit to give them open eyes and the strength to leave the false prophet.

Answer 4

:) There was a guy who drove nails intoa board with his hands in Fists of Fury? I haven't seen that movie since I was a kid. That was a trick Master Shimabuku, Isshinryu's founder used to do. Interesting that it's a training method in a style, and one in which 100 pushups is difficult.

Answer 5

To become a true master they will dip your winky and walnuts into kerosene and light it. That should kill any pain receptors, so that if you take a groin strike it won't hurt.

Answer 6

If they haven't started pulling out your toe nails yet, you've got a long way to go.

Answer 7

I think it was "Fist of Legend" with the nail thing. :)

Answer 8

Your words are foolish and I have wasted one minute reading your foolish question. I want my minute back.

Answer 9

That is funny! I can't stop laughing!

Answer 10

This trolling is hilarious :)
