First of all, I think you're nuts, but if this is what you want I
can tell you how to do it. The nentay is shown in one episode of TNG
and described in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. The young Klingon
undergoing the rite walks between two rows of warriors who are holding
spiked clubs and/or painstiks. As he passes, the beat him with the
clubs, or jab him with the painstiks. He then is expected to cry out
the deepest feelings of his heart.
If you want to do this, I suggest you get some cattle prods, or
big sticks if you can't get cattle prods, give one to each brother.
Have them pound you with the sticks, or jab you with the prods, and
say whatever comes to mind. You may want to have paramedics standing
by. Good luck.
