He got up and prayed for 2 hours. (at about 4am)

He had an ice water bath.

He took class and worked in the garden.

He went around telling everyone to be nice to each other.

aiki what do you mean bang his head against a rock and why?do you know?

[aikiwolfie]

O Sensei would bang his head on a big rock everyday. It was part of his training to condition his skull. I personaly wouldn't reckomend it.

People who punch bricks do that for the same reason. The Calcium structures inside the bones get broken down and replaced with stronger structures. So you get stronger bones.

O Sensei did alot of crazey stuff ziseez. I wouldn't copy everything he did. Just the Aikido part.

There was many spirtitual and phyiscal aspects of his normal days training but the one thing he always stressed was every day trianing must and should consist of saburi, tai no henko, moroto dori kokyu ho and sawari waza kokyu ho. These building blocks of aikido where what he practiced every single day when he finally decided what Aikido was.
