I haven't punched through a concrete wall, and I see where's you're coming from, but I still like my idea so I'll try and sell it to you.

Most of prison life is outside the arena, therefore many fights happen while powerless. Sure, a little girl might have a power that lets her shoot Kamehameha out of her palm and level entire buildings, but she's just a little girl. She wouldn't fit in. I deliberately used this exaggerated example to bring across my point - you should be confident and strong enough to beat a concrete wall to enter the group.

Do you see where I'm coming from? My character's ability is mostly passive, but because of it he can push beyond anything a regular person could endure because he doesn't have any of the mental or instinctive blocks applied to his body to keep itself safe. If a meta isn't confident in itself, and places all of its trust in their power, they shouldn't be in the group.

The group is a bunch of violent thrill-junkies going after challenging fights. Why wouldn't they punch a concrete wall to prove their manliness?

The breaking of the wall is basically just for show, mainly just to see your power in action. However, staying within the MIR is the real challenge, you'll most likely be facing alot of fights and abuse from your own allies if you are a newcomer. If the noob wins, they are strong, if they lose, then they are weak. Staying inside of the MIR is just a huge ordeal of violence that you have to deal with until you are in the upper ranks.

Like I said, punching the wall is just mainly for show. They just want to see if your powers are good enough to fight the other people inside the MIR, they are just testing you. The real challenge is facing the constant fights and abuse from your own Faction! If you're a little girl that got in, that's good for you! However, if she revives a few punches and kicks outside of the Arena and she is down crying on the ground, she is kicked out regarded as a weakling! If she takes the beating without a word, that girl will receive some prestige!  It's being tough that counts, also some violent initiative wouldn't hurt.

Edit: And your character would probably have been accepted mainly of the credit he had gotten from facing countless fights. Though,  ranking up would be harder since everyone else in the MIR has rather destructive powers.
