Train NOT to get hurt, that makes more sense.
Also, assume your opponent DOES have a high tolerance for pain. Making any assumptions that you can stop someone with a pure pain technique is risky. In my opinion, this is more important than training yourself to be tougher.

Agreed. Incapacitating an attacker works better than trying to apply enough pain to make him stop. Different people have different pain thresholds and also react differently to pain. Always assume the guy attacking you the toughest, meanest, most skilled sob on the planet. If he isn't then lucky you. You are still prepared.
