It seems that jiujitsu might be the ultimate training camp to embody stoicism. A simple way of training stoicism can be a 24 hour fast or a week without coffee. In other words, being comfortable with discomfort. Aim low and build up.
Appreciate that, Hector. Yes, BJJ is a great way to practice some of the resilience aspects of Stoicism and also provides a framework for learning Stoicism in general.
