Males

A males life first starts with basic training from his mother then after a certain length of time and reaching a certain age will proceed to the braiding ceremony. This is known to be preformed on males but not certain for the females, it is preformed in public that is very painful and upon the slightest whimper or tear the braids are taken out and is started over again. After this is accomplished they are then assigned to their teachers.
There is another theory that they are assigned to a ship or teacher of their lineage when heading onto their blooding hunt, this may not be true. A male would be assigned to a certain blooding line for the blooding ritual but afterwards would head to a ship, a ship holding warriors, or teachers of his lineage.
Afterwards the young males are taken into space where blooding plans are put into action by their superiors - the males are further trained by their teacher and an area of hosts on another planet are laid with the aliens. Weeks later the ship is landed a days walk or so from the area holding the drones and the males, lead by their leader or a trusty of the leader holding the same blooding line, are taken to hunt the kainde amedha, or alien. When a male kills his first kainde amedha he is then blooded by a superior holding the same blooding line they were assigned to and is finally an adult. But though they have become blooded are still considered weak and under the power of their leader are lead onto more hunts until they are able to hunt in some skill and are then freely allowed to leave. This is when the male would leave and most likely live among his own lineage for his entire life or a good majority of it.

There are strict laws and codes a male must follow to hold a steady life among his male crew mates and female companions and if certain ones, or all, are broken the punishment is death or receiving public humiliation by having his gonads severed.
The laws and codes are rather simple and logical: A hunter must not accidently kill another fellow hunter ("This would lead to the height of bad manners." - Dachande), kill prey behind it's back, while it's defenseless, asleep, or kill while cloaked. Breaking some of these laws would not have a hunter killed but would be considered unsportsmanlike like and just might lower his social ranking. If all are broken then there's a good chance he will have his gonads severed. What will have a hunter killed is by hunting any creature before he is blooded, especially if the targeted prey were human, fleeing the other way during a hunt instead of fighting, unsuccessful hunts or stealing from another whether it is an object, trophy or kill.

This act was preformed in the single comic strip volume Aliens/Predator: War. Two-Stripes became jealous over Light-Stepper's success of killing another kainde amedha and rising above all 20 lesser trophies, including him, and stole his kill while he was down of injury from his previous fight. Two-Stripes was caught red handed and his punishment was death.

A hunter's social ranking would also be lowered if he failed a hunt. But usually the hunter returns for revenge against the prey that bested him though 95% of the time, if hunting solo, the hunter will activate his Self-Destruct Sequence to save himself from humiliation by his peers. If he were close to fellow ship mates and failed he would put a knife through his gut or chest. But the Self-Destruct Sequence will always be activated if he were dying in a prey's territory.
By hunting well a hunter survives, he gains the respect of his fellows, the attention of females and can bear more children.

Alien vs. Predator: Prey "A yautja did what a yautja had to do to bolster his line and when his Final Hunt took place, he intended to leave behind a legion of younglings."

Therefore he will live to see the next day.
Though it is also somewhat dangerous for a male when he is looking to mate. The large females have been known to accidently hurt their male partners during the heat of the mate by throwing them against walls and such.

A male follows the path of his Father, Brothers, Uncles, Grandfathers etc.
