The Amazon warriors of Dahomey trained intensively, often in hand-to-hand combat among themselves.

A lot of emphasis was placed on discipline as they learned survival skills.

The Dahomey Amazons were not allowed to have children or participate in any form of family life as they were formally married to the king. Because he had no sexual relations with them, they remained caste, even though few were handed over in marriage to respected dignitaries of the kingdom.
