Dragonball
Information: This training was what gave Goku the basis for the martial arts he used until DBZ – The Turtle Style, also known as the “Kame-sennin” Style. The training went as follows – Goku, with his fellow pupil Kuririn, are told to run a 100-meter race. Son Goku gets an impressive time of 11.0 seconds, but says he couldn’t run fast since his shoes are old. With a new pair of shoes, he runs it in 8.5 seconds. Then, Kame writes the Turtle symbol onto a rock and hurls it in the forest, saying whoever gets it first will get dinner. Son Goku finally finds it, but Kuririn tricks him and steals it.

At 4:30 AM next morning, the real training begins. The boys have to deliver milk manually to many houses in hazardous conditions, and almost die. After that, they plow a field with their bare hands, followed by a swim in shark-infested waters, working at a construction site, and studying for hours. Then, their master informs them that they will be doing this for every day of training, but from now on they will wear 20KG turtle shells on their back. After this training, Son Goku became an exceptional fighter, and went all the way to the final match in the tournament. He lost at the hands of his master, Kame-sennin.

Dragonball Z
Information: Using his unique Namek-jin training method, Piccolo became very, very strong in just one year. His power level went from 408 to 3,500. To attain this level of power, Piccolo used very harsh physical training in the wild, and was either training by himself or Son Gohan almost 24 / 7. He also put a LOT of time and effort into meditation, and focussed all of his power into his training. His sparring partner, Gohan, also demanded Piccolo to keep improving his strength. All of his training paid off, since he was able to hold off Nappa for several hours, giving Goku the time he desperately needed to get to Earth from the Heavens.

Information: In the beginning, Gohan did not want to train. Piccolo had dropped him in the middle of the forest, and Gohan was constantly crying and trying to escape. After a while, he realized that if he doesn’t train then the Earth might be destroyed, and starts to train seriously. This training gave Gohan his basic fighting style, since it was the first time anyone had taught him. Before this, he was just as weak as a normal child, with only bursts of Saiya-jin power when he was angry.

Piccolo trained him in the basic martial arts, and taught him to use more than his eyes to be aware of the opponent. Son Gohan was taught about “Ki” for the first time, and how it applies to the martial arts. After the year of training, Gohan was almost unbelievably stronger than a year ago. During the fight, he even managed to rough up Nappa a bit. Also, Gohan lasted longer than any other fighter in the battle against the Saiya-jin. When Son Goku lost to Vegeta in oozarru form, Gohan helped out in the fight once again.

Information: This one is pretty long, so I’ll start off by saying what Son had to do in his training. First, he ran across a super long road (Snakeway), and also ate Yamma fruit, which doubled his power. When arriving at Kaio-sama’s planet, he first chased Bubbles to get used to the 10xG gravity, and finally caught him after three weeks. This gave him a physical boost in power and reflexes, and was the basis of this training. Next, he was given a super heavy mallet, and was told to chase Gregory, and tap him with the hammer. This was really hard, since Son could hardly run and Gregory was lightning fast. After a while though, he did it. Finally, Kaio was ready to teach Goku the legendary Ki techniques of the Kaios.

First, Kaio-sama taught Son Goku Kaio-ken, a technique in which he can multiply his power by the level of Kaio-ken used. Kaio warned him that this puts a lot of stress on the body, and Goku shouldn’t go over double Kaio-ken. Next, Goku learnt the Genki-Dama, in which he borrows Ki from the living organisms around him. Kaio warned him that the power of a Dama with all of Earth’s Ki would be very dangerous. It was because of this training that Son Goku was able to save Earth and beat up Nappa and Vegeta.

Information: As soon as he was healed, Goku began training again. Using a gravity-enhancing capsule built by Dr. Briefs, Son Goku trained under levels as high as 100Gs. He first started doing simple training like push-ups and crunches, and then handstands, kicks, and punches, and finally complicated movements using Ki. This training pushed Goku’s power over the barrier, allowing him to have the potential to become a Super Saiya-jin. After the training, Son Goku was stronger than any of the Ginyu Force members, and Freeza was the only one who was stronger. Son Goku’s power level after training was 180,000.

Information: Son Goku realized Gohan’s potential, and knew that he was the only one who could defeat Cell. So he took Gohan into the Room of Time for one whole year (one day in normal time). Gohan got MUCH stronger, mostly because he learnt how to go Super Saiya-jin in the room. Also, Gohan hadn’t reached his peak power even after the training, and Goku knew this. Even more bursts of power emerged from Son Gohan when he was pissed off at Cell, allowing him to go Super Saiya-jin 2. With this power, he was able to kill Cell with a huge Kamehameha blast. Without this training, the Earth would have been destroyed by Cell.

Information: Son got a whole lot stronger during the several years he spent in heaven, even stronger than Vegeta who was training almost 24 / 7 in the gravity capsule. Some of the techniques that he used to get stronger were punching and kicking with SUPER heavy bags on his arms and legs. He also trained his mind by meditating for long hours on the peak of a tall mountain. It was because of this training that Goku reached the next SSJ platform – Super Saiya-jin 3. With this power, he was much stronger than even Vegeta, and just barley weaker than Kid Buu. He could have beaten Fat Buu with this power, but he didn’t because he knew he was dead and shouldn’t interfere with what happens on Earth.
