Re: Pain
Some player of Muai Thai use the famous bottle technique to kill the nerves of their calves (basically rolling a glass bottle continuosly on the calves with a big pressure).
I can understand someone who decides to kill his/her own nerves to avoid feeling pain if that person has decided to carry out a life as professional fighter, but I don't actually see the need for this just to learn an Art and/or for self defence.
Moreover I have a personal belief that killing your pain receptors in the long run won't be very healthy for your body. I can see you doing it while you are a fighter, but wonder what happens when you turn 60/70 years old and the nerves are long gone.
