Still in the works...
Ao Dah Jong - The idea of this portion of training is to inflict a lot of potential damage on the trainee deliberately, so they'll be 1) tougher, and 2) they'll be able to handle it when it happens to them in combat. For example, the trainee's shoulders are dislocated so he/she can learn to "pop" them back in place without assistance. The bones of the hand and arm are also broken and broken again, so they grow back stronger. Thus making the demon hunter more resistant against pain and able to take and deal with more damage.
Control Revulsion - The trainee's training consists of being exposed to the most horrible, graphic, and disgusting sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures that the trainer can imagine. For example, not only would the trainee have to visit a morgue (preferably, immediately after it's been filled with several victims from a disaster like an airplane crash), but the trainee would be expected to sleep in a pile of bodies. The trainee develops a certain, resistance to such horrible circumstances.
Demon Wrestling - A mixture of collegiate and proffessional style wrestling except that Demon Wrestling is tougher and filled with lots and lots of dirty tricks. Gouging, biting, and illegal strikes all take place in Demon Wrestling and are perfectly legal. This teaches the concepts of concealing strikes to sensitive areas, convincingly feigning injuries and the like. this hardens the Demon hunter's instincts and body to battle demons should it come to a hand to hand fight.
Resist Chi Influence - By practicing under waterfalls, at the edge of a cliff, deep underground, and in the middle of a freezing underground stream the demon hunter conditions the body to ignore that natural tendacy to be filled or drained of both Positive and Negative Chi.
Yung Chin or Eternal Clarity - A fancy name for learning how to drink a lot of booze without getting too drunk. Demons and many other vile creatures have less than savory habits, thus it's often easy to tempt them into either drunken binges or drinking contests. Not only can this lure creatures into making foolish wagers, but it also dims their abilities. This exercise is meant to teach the Demon Hunter how to 'burn off' the effect of booze and recognize their own limits of drunkenness.
