Right in the balls!!!

Easy

That's actually a great technique in both chinese MA and boxing, except in boxing its just a low uppercut.

Sifu James McNeil (i believe he is a mantis practitioner) does this one.

Yeah and its easy to learn..my wife has no combat or fighting expierence at all, but when I tickle her she knows to go for the groin to stop me instantly.

Then she claims it was an accident

Also kicking isn't the only way to get at the groin slaps work real well too.

Now thats just dirty fighting right...well I call it staying alive.

I call it something to do to keep your pals on their toes.
SQUIRREL TAP!!!...kapow...ouch.

Why a groin shot when you can go for the kneecaps? Groin shot might hurt, or might not depending on how much adrenaline and what drugs are coursing through the BG, knee shots also may or may not hurt but he's gonna have a hard time running afterwards (whether he's trying to chase you or trying to evade the cops or what.)

Yeah, why go for the nuts when there are all those pressure points on the legs right. Longest weapon to nearest target innit.

What pressure points are those? You train in Chinese MA?

Treelizard love, there are loads of PPs on the legs right. Look at this picture of a realistic basic training method:

Look at the target's legs.

GB 34 or 35. I can't remember which but it's a popular one. One good shot there will drop you (it's the one that Thai boxers shoot for)

A great Judoka (arguably the best ever) was once known to crush testicles in a SD situation. Not kicking or knee strikes or punching. Just grab a handful and squeeze! His name was Masahiko Kimura.

Well they must be crap then cos they rarely actually drop eachother with those leg kicks right.

[medic06]

They rarely stand still to let you hit them. A solid punch to the jaw will knock you out but how often does that happen? Fighting is not easy. . .


TL, it's GB 34

While that is a good tactic...if you can grab it you can hit several imes in the same period. Plus if you grab you are now attached to your assaliant for a few seconds that may be all he needs right before he losses his nuts that is.

Thanks!!!! I'll look it up.

If I'm going for twenty or thirty knee kicks, one or two of 'em will get in.

Don't you guys think that there's an obsesion with groin strikes?
I'm not critisizing this thread or other such threads on this forum - that's a valid self defense/MA discussion topic.
I'm talking about constant groin strikes on TV (I mean, I've even seen this in cartoons and I'm not talking about the violent manga variety) people threatening or bragging about kicking people in the balls. It became very popular in the 80s, some movies would have some sort of groin infliction every 20 minutes or so.
What's causing all this? Is this some sort of anti-masculinity thing?
Would like to hear your thoughts.

that was a bit silly mate, how often have to been punched in the face and laughed it off?? probs quite a few, how many shots in the ball have u ever taken and laughed it off?? probs none. takes less than a second to catch sum1 in the sack but will keep them down for quite a wile, huurts like f@ck, thats why people do it!!

You are attached with the advantage. It's similar to when someone has a strong grip around your adam's apple. You are feeling pain and feel vunerable to death. While the 'grabber' isn't. Maybe a sudden pull or harsh squeeze would stop his brain primilary planning on attacking you back in that particular moment.
