How do you increase your pain tolerance?

I believe I have answered this question before recently. In the matter of pain it is an individual thing. Some have more or less tolerance for pain. Unless you have a physical disorder we all experience pain. Pain is the body's early warning system for eminent danger. You can increase your tolerance for pain only from training. There are no easy ways out. I wish there were. I had a somewhat lower than average tolerance to pain when I started training. Now I believe I have overcome that obstacle by training through the pain. It is truly mind over matter. Persistence and reason will prevail if you let them. It is true also that parts of the body will "toughen up" and become more resistant to pain and bruising through careful training. You must endure some discomfort to achieve your goals. Remember also pain is your early warning system to danger so learn to discern what level of pain is acceptable before injury occurs. Since you posted a question in this regard I assume you are experiencing a low threshold of pain. All I can say to this is that it can be overcome. You just because of your individual make up you will have to try a little harder than average. But who the heck wants to be average. Good luck with your training and hang tough.

i seen how them karate people stand there and kick each other in the nuts LMAO

as my instructor used to say 'Pain is just weakness leaving the body'

stop being a sissy and suck it up. it is just pain

The best way to do this would be hard body training / body conditioning. This is the method of training your body, at a regular slow pace to break down the condition of your bones in which it remodels itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of impact. This takes years and years of training and must be done under close supervision, with someone familiar with this kind of training. Most Martial artists training in the east use this method to strengthen their bodies. You can catch further information regarding this topic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff%27s_law

realize and accept sometimes things will hurt, but grin your teeth, and suck it up, and hit / kick back, harder, and faster, and more and more. bottom line it is your intestinal fortitude

the more pain you take the more your body gets used to it to suck it up and go and go get hurt!! a good way to increase your pain tolerance is full contact sparring because you get hit hard enough for it to hurt but not for it to do serious damage

Slowly increase the amount of time you are exposed to pain (like getting punched in the head for example). Most of the time it is the though of pain that is the worst of it.
