Vigorous field training
Field training for warriors in ancient Africa was very intense, and many warriors who could not keep up often lost their lives or left the military, but many preferred to die because going home was a disgrace to a potential warrior and his family. During field training, warriors were made to perfect their spear throwing and aiming skills by aiming at animals at a distance. They were also made to hunt down animals, run miles nonstop and learn to quicken their climbing skills by climbing trees and rocky mountains. They also learnt to swim, rowboats, start a fire and calculate distances. The field training made them very conversant with the kingdom and surrounding settlements. Also, they were taught how to camouflage themselves, a skill that came in handy when attacking the enemy by surprise. They also wrestled with each other to test strength and went through various punishments as a way of learning to endure pain.
