== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]? Fumoffu'', Sousuke subjects his high school rugby team to this, in a not-so-subtle [[Shout-Out]] to ''Full Metal Jacket''.
* Ninja in ''[[Naruto]]'' begin their training at a very young age, to the point that each one is (theoretically) a ruthless assassin and a superhuman martial artist by age twelve - and that's at the ''lowest'' ninja rank. Not everyone survives the yearly examination/[[Tournament Arc|martial arts tournament]] to attain the next-highest ninja rank, and only a small percentage actually passes the test each year.
** While they do begin Ninja Academy at a young age in Konoha, it is shown to be more of a basic skills course. More training is received after graduation through personal instruction by their team's mentor and fairly low-risk missions, as far as the good guy's Leaf village is concerned, anyway. The Mist (and possibly the Sand) village is a different story.
