Toughest Men on Earth: Japanese Marathon Monks

[@mutsuzawa]

You forgot to mention the sleep deprivation. For the last stage they chant straight for 7 days without sleep of food.

Power of the mind

Someone get Goggins to go check this out?

[@boxersfitness]

😂😂😂

[@ronwilliams3652]

Yes...Great idea

[@kevinjansa7775]

Not sure Goggins is capable of slowing down enough to meditate

[@alienautopsy9326]

Holy Flash, Goggins rocking that get up running around a forest in Japan, this must be done.

[@richardhenry1969]

You'd think Goggins would be all over that. It's even his die trying mantra.

[@m7mdahd]

Don't tell David goggins about this

Great that an ultrarunner presents marathon monks. I’ve been saying for years that trail runners should check them out to up their game. It’s silly to see ultrarunners do zombie walks and suffer in pain caves when marathon monks solved those problems with their spiritual techniques thousand years ago. Been practicing like them for 20 years 👌✌️

These guys are Fuckin Nuts !

It's also worth mentioning that these monks are supposed to be Buddhist monks, but such extreme practices that deliberately put one's life in danger or even commit suicide go against everything that the Buddha taught and are forbidden practices for monks according to the prescribed rules for monks (Vinaya). What these marathon monks are practising is a uniquely Japanese cultural phenomenon, especially the act of committing suicide. With all that said, at a personal level, I have a huge admiration for what these monks have achieved.

Brother make a study video about Khalid Ibn Al Walid? He conqered the superpowers of his time Persia and Rome. The undefeded commander.

[@journeyman7189]

An incredible challenge. Do the Monks that only complete 1, 2, 3 years of it stay on as Monks? Or are they done? Nate

[@Playerthestud]

[@lkmjin]

How long does one pair of those sandals last? Or do they just repair them on the go when something breaks?

[@arbr8119]

I heard somewhere that every day they would go through like 5 or more pairs or something like that

[@DaleFlint]

What a neat spiritual journey, have any westerners ever completed it?

[@HiloBoiz808]

Have any Japanese ever completed it?

[@jessestogner2624]
