Okay, I never took any martial arts or anything, but maybe an outsider's perspective is what you need here. You have signed up for classes to go and have a bunch of girls wail on your balls week after week. Aside from being akin to physical torture, this is dangerous for your reproductive future. You might not be thinking about it too much now, but someday you or someone you're with will really want you to be able to father children.
Consider why you're going to martial arts. Is this for legitimate self-defense needs? If so, I guess I can't argue with the instructor's point that people are going to hit below the belt for an advantage whenever they can. I can't imagine your need for self-defense is so pressing, so I'm guessing this is for exercise, fun, discipline, self-actualization, or any other altruistic pursuit of personal growth. If that is the case, the argument is totally invalid.
I'm encouraging you to injure anyone, but what would their reaction be if you started trying to break everyone's nose every time you sparred, saying that they need to protect their nose if they don't like it? You're being abused, and they need to stop. If talking to them seriously about this doesn't work, you need to switch to a different dojo.

This may seem unfair, but guess what? It is fair.
Martial arts is taken to learn how to defend yourself in case you get attacked by someone. It can be a simply punching attack, or even with a weapon such as a stick or a knife. I took martial arts for 4 years. I am pretty good. Anyway, there were a few girls in my class too. When we had our freestyle fights or tests, it did not seem like the girls were going for our nuts. But if they did, we all learned how to block those attacks. Whether it's a punch, a kick, a slash, whatever to the nuts, we knew how to block them. And one of the things that you need to know is how to block those attacks at your groin. Being a girl does not mean she can't go for a guys nuts. And being a guy does not mean you can't apgo for her groin. She needs to know how to block attacks to that region just like you do. It hurts girls too. So, if the girls in your class go for your groin, you gotta block them. And when you do, go for their groin so they can experience what it's like to be attacked in the groin.
Let me know if you have any questions.
You think it's unfair because you can't do the same to the women?
I guess that's true. We don't feel the same kind of pain that men do when they've been kicked in the balls. However, that's nobody's concern but yours. It's not their job to protect your testicles, they have come to win.
At ours groin kicks were allowed only for the advanced belts.

I don’t think this is accurate for a few reasons. If it is, I hope you wore one anyway and or moved to a different school.
The whole disadvantage thing. The girls already have the advantage because they don’t have to worry about getting hit in the testicles. Testicles are very sensitive and vulnerabl. A strike cannot only disable you but could permanently damage them.. You were learning to protect yourself but it shouldn’t be illegal to protect a reproductive organ that can easily be damaged just because she wants you to learn how to protect it. It kind of sounds like she is man hating. Testicle injuries can be serious and contact sports like that always ask guys to wear a cup and woman sometimes breast padding.
I would’ve loved to know what she would have had to say to some of the women if they wanted to wear a groin guard. If she really did want you to learn how to protect that area, she shouldn’t have been taking advantage of it and always trying to hit you there and have the girls hit you there worhout protection... how is that helping you? She should have been teaching you blocks and defense moves. It kinda sounds like she just wanted a male to kick in the balls which is actually really mean. I don’t know any woman that would purposely do that. I have accidentally kicked a female instructor in the vagina, and it hurts them too. I apologized immensely and there was no hard feelings. Women feel it too, it’s just harder to target. And of green shots were allowed such as you are saying, I cannot see how a groin guard for both genders would not be allowed to be worn for this and I’m sure most of all woman would agree. It’s not that you’d have an advantage, you are learning. You are in a controlled environment and you do need to protect them. If woman had more vulnerable areas That hurt like hell im sure they would wear protection while practicing and I would be all for this. What was the name of the school?Wow, that's nothing like my karate dojo was. Below the belt was against the rules in our sparring sessions, so guys didn't need to wear cups. Lol, I was always holding myself back when I sparred with girls because I was taught to never hit a girl. It kind of sounds like your sensei is on some kind of mad feminist power trip, like she enjoys watching the girls kick you in the testicles. I'd find another dojo if I was you.
How many girls do this to you? How long were down for? Did the girls laugh? What advice did the instructor say in order to help you block?
Just start kicking them in the vagina. It’s a pretty well kept secret, but vaginas are actually more sensitive than balls. You’ll floor them easily if you get a good hit in
that sounds like some bull. if it's an unfair advantage, tell the girls to wear cups to even it out. this whole thing sounds ridiculous. what kind of sparring match has opponents aiming for the balls
Where is this karate dojo? I never heard of something like this, I am curious now.
First of all I'm sure you're lying. If your not for some reason just kick them in the vagina. It will down them too
Keep this up and you'll lose your balls
