Although I am happy that you enjoyed yourself (that is enjoyed in the most masochistic sense) I would like to remind you that it is possible to over train and rob yourself of many of the benefits of working out. At a certain point you start cheating with your exercises and develop bad habits. If you watch a lot of those Navy SEALs specials on TV you can see where they cheat on things like dips. At that point it seems to be mostly about hazing or otherwise 'proving your toughness/loyalty' and not about actually making physical gains.

Hmm... before I start ranting about hazing in martial arts...

I guess the major point I am trying to say is that you shouldn't rely solely on the Gasshuku to make you a physically fit martial artist. Rather that is up to you by learning about nutrition and workout routines and then applying them in your daily life.
