Found this online, thought it was quite interesting! Might be kinda NSFWish, I dunno; [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a86cQobU-n4&feature=related"]Sports Science: "World Record Kick to the Groin" Part 2 - YouTube[/ame]
These folk seem to do this stuff for fun... maybe its masochism [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lstFqMCMEb8&feature=BFa&list=UUOinpnWs4h5k8QxrKiMi7Cg&lf=plcp"]æ±æ±Ÿå‘¨å®¶èž³èž‚國術å”會(國際)-å³å£«éº’總監七å二æ*²å£½è¾° 20 - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPz3oNYgwpI&feature=BFa&list=UUOinpnWs4h5k8QxrKiMi7Cg&lf=plcp"]æ±æ±Ÿå‘¨å®¶èž³èž‚國術å”會‹éš›)-å³å£«éº’總監七å二æ*²å£½è¾° 18 - YouTube[/ame]
Haha, owch.... that must have hurt >.< What I am interested in is, is this fake or is this sort of thing actually achievable? Have you guys heard of this mysterious substance P?
No personal experience with this, but apparently in the Chow Gar style, as well as some others AFAIK, there is a training method which allows the practitioner to retract their testicles in to the body. Here is some marginal info on it and a vid link: http://www.dailykungfu.com/2010/10/grandmaster-ip-chee-keung.html
I'm skeptical about the retraction of testicles, but it seems like some people can condition themselves to ignore a kick in the stanes. Personally I don't see the appeal, given that the conditioning is being repeatedly kicked in the stanes, I think I'll take occasional crippling agony over years of it.
I don’t really see how one could do this without taking the testicles out of the line of fire. I would think that any strong impact would result in rupture and internal bleeding... not to mention sterility, though maybe thats a good thing I would say that something to either protect or move the gonads out of the way must be happening... The thinking required to partake in this thread is painful
Well, if they were able to do it, it would be a relatively easy thing to determine, since no-one has come forward with this data, and since I don't *think* that the appropriate musculature is in place to do it, it's pretty hard for me to swallow. Can't believe I cracked that joke... I mean granted, my knowledge of the anatomy of the pelvic floor musculature isn't great, But I don't think there's anything.
I dunno, I think it's weird, that in the video he builds up a bonelike structure around his testes... is that even possible? In general, is this sort of thing possible? To make yourself feel no pain?
Yep You will notice in those demos the "buildup" is protracted. If you poked him in the eyes first THEN whacked him in the goolies the results would be very different It is a parlour trick with little to no real world or combat application...typically used by con men to attract new students
Hahahaha, just realised that... :L Yep, not what I meant at all... I was just surprised that he said you could condition such places...
When i was at school there was a lad could take a full blown shot in the nuts without blinking. He claimed it was meditation. I'll ask him more next time i see him if people here are currious?
Kicking someone in their endocrine glands...yeah, really smart idea. I'm glad my own are INside...not that being kicked there is fun for a woman either.
You know that although most men cringe at the thought of a full on hit I can tell you from personal experience that it does not always pan out that way. Took a knee in the nads from a mate at a University bar in my early 20's that did nothing except lift me a couple feet in the air... went home to find myself black from the groin down.. seems he had hit me hard enough to cause bleeding/bruising but I had not felt anything get hurt. I sometimes wonder whether a little snap kick/tap wouldn't hurt more that a full on strike as the focus would be much more 'to the point' ;' ) Just saying' FWIW LFD
In the Chris Crudelli vid, where he is kicking the praying mantis guy in the nuts, I think he did check... I have not seen it for a while, but I do remember Chris feeling the dudes groin The vid is in the link I posted earlier. I can’t check it as I am at work.
