Re: Shaolin monks...the tough ones.
I don't think you can legitimately answer this one with a single name (because individual humans are very different and there are too many unpredictable variables.)
Taking the debate in a slightly different direction, I've been thinking about what 'type' of person was likely the biggest badass in history.
Throughout human history, only two 'types' of people have been purely and wholly dedicated to fighting and killing from birth. They did nothing else in their lives, thought of nothing else, and spent literally all their lives getting better at it. They were highly educated, trained harder and longer than anyone else in history, had the best weapons and technology available and believed that they were the best of the best. In fact, their social class existed only to make war.
Ladies and gents, I give you:
- the feudal Japanese Samurai, and
- the 12th Century Egyptian Mamluk slave soldiers
Look them up. Would be interested in people's views ........
