People think kicking someone in the nuts is the be-all-end-all solution to fighting or ending an attack (e.g. you’ll hear this countless times in “women’s self-defense” classes).
Well, watch this:
All the controversy about “Combat Ki” aside (if you don’t know and are curious, click here), it sure seems that the guy is taking one hell of a nut shot and barely flinching.
Granted, most people will get hit in the nuts and drop to the ground in a fetal position. But the takeaway here is you can’t necessarily expect a nut shot to have a 100% success rate.
But for all the “Combat Ki” in the world…. I doubt they’re able to condition themselves to withstand a good dose of lead…. Sometimes there are better self-defense tools out there.
That aside, I love watching the video. I love the use of “blue balls” (har har) and the little up and down animations. The constant over and over and over and over and over replays of the nut shot, full speed, slow motion, different angles. Amusing.

OK, I can understand not feeling the pain. I’ll even accept Wolf’s law on bone remodeling, but testicles are soft tissue, seems they should be damaged under 1100 lbs of pressure. If not, because of repeated hits, then do they a) still function, and b) have feeling in them.
And it made me wonder about that other martial art idea of pulling the testicles up into the pelvis. I first read about it an Ian Fleming James Bond story. The idea if trained early, you could learn to draw them back up into the openings in your pelvis. A quick google search indicates there are muscles used to raise and lower them, but getting them in the pelvis seems impossible. I guess you could develop those muscles to be protective.
Yeah. I have to wonder what the guy’s nuts look like now… not that I really want to know, but you know….
