That sorta reminds me of a gang initiation or a right of passage type thing. In some gangs when you join or get elevated to a certain status they "beat you in" literally. They beat you up as a ritual of getting into the club. In gangs its supposed to show that you are serious enough to get your ass beat then you are good enough to get in.
