I saw a YouTube video a long time ago that was a compilation of extreme martial arts training. One of the clips was from an old documentary that look to be from the 70s where part of the training was to climb to the edge of a roof and jump off onto the grass below. It was 40ft up and they had a chair to sit in on top I think. The people doing it were like 15 years old or something crazy like that. It wasn't in China or Japan and probably not Korea; I think it was in Thailand, Laos, or Cambodia. They would jump and basically collapse on the ground and monks or whatever would run over and help them inside. They seemed to be pretty hurt after the jumps.
