Protect that groin.

[PrideampPoise]

Getting kicked in the nuts hurts, but also p*sses you off and releases adreneline. It seems getting kicked in the nuts just means it's butt kickin time.

 

Fortunately, I can't speak from too much experience, but I think that depends a lot on the exact placement and power of the strike.

 

A lot like any other target area I guess, except that it just doesn't take as much to reach the "breaking" (OUCH!) point.

But, contrary to what some will believe, a groin shot can be handled

[Cybren]

To be honest I always thought the light tap hurts more than the hard smash.

[47MartialMan]

It depends on the angle and contact area.

 

And of course one's tolerence for pain.

I enter regular competitions and i think without a groin guard i would now be female without it! anone who know's what i'm talking about will i understand what i mean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[47MartialMan]

I believe this.I have taken some hard squar shots in the balls and it did hurt for a few seconds but I was able to fight without missing a beat!It just made me really madd and fight even harder!! But as for the women, I have seen some almost go into shock from the pain from a hard kick in the genitals when I was a assistant coach on a women's soccer team.But a women's genitals are also highly sensitive to any type of strike.And can be very dangerious as well!

Eight years ago i received a kick in the nads during sparring(a side kick counter to my back kick ) To save face i quickly recovered and continued sparing ( I had,nt long achieved black belt ) After training i had little feel and found the left fella was growing fast. In the car on the way home i went into shock ( blood supply to exextremities cut off to save brain )

I had split one of me nads! I was in hospital five days, Out of work for three months, Out of training for nine months. I eventually achieved my 2nd dan.

Moral to this story is. No matter how good you think you are,Always ware a box when sparring
