Is a kick to the groin really that effective?

[Anonymous]

I see it in movies a lot but does it really have the same affect in real life? I know it would hurt but i reckon i coupd stay standing and shrug it off like a man... it seems movies over exagerate it? What do you reckon...

yes groin kicks are horrendously painful. The nausea, tears, and collapse might seem like overkill, but they are actually ways your body is trying to improve the situation. "This is essentially a defense mechanism by the body to reduce the painful sensation," says Dr. Muhammad A. Mirza, founder of erectiledoctor. com. The details of your physiological response to a groin kick might be the last thing on your mind when it happens, but knowing a little more about what your body’s doing could encourage you to prevent these kinds of injuries in the future and better address the ones that are inevitable. When a man gets hit in the groin, his body goes a little crazy. Signals get launched up to his brain at about 265 mph, giving it notice that something’s wrong. A neurotransmitter called Substance P is also released by the testicles to indicate the need for pain relief. The signals that reach the brain trigger several processes. Endorphins – our body's natural pain relievers – are released to mask some of the hurt. Unfortunately, higher levels of endorphins cause a drop in oxygen levels, which can lead to a pounding headache and nausea. For some men, a part of the brain called the cervical sympathetic ganglia is also activated, resulting in tearing up or crying. In addition to all of this, the brain is simultaneously sending signals back down to the groin and abdominal area to let you know you’re in pain down there. So yes it sure works well

Nah, not always. Obviously it's overly dramatic in movies, and some dudes overreact in real life cause they like carrying on about their nuts or showing off in front of a girl. Don't get me wrong, it can be really effective, but there are a lot of factors involved like how hard, obviously, the angle of the kick, the type of footwear used, the size of the foot, the clothes the receiver is wearing and the overall toughness of the dude being kicked. For example, a size 14 steel toed boot kicking a dude dead on target in basketball shorts is going to be much more effective than a size 9 flip flop that only hits one nut of a dude wearing jeans.

Lol just try it out and hit yourself down there with a hammer or something - then come back and tell us about how you took it like a man ;D

[Asker]

A hammer? Lol thats a bit different to a kick?

[Jxpxtxr]

Not if I kick you with my metal cap sneakers - also if the person has experience in muay thai, like I do, the kick will probably worse than the hammer lol it was just an example though

[Jxpxtxr]

*probably be much worse

[Asker]

I doubt itd be worse than a hammer lol

[CaliSoccerFella]

Wow.. someone is probably a pretty darn good ball buster :p lol

[Jxpxtxr]

@CaliSoccerFella I would never actually do that though.. unless I felt extremely threatened by a rapist or smth lol

[CaliSoccerFella]

Thats good!
And well.. balls are your friends lol

[Jxpxtxr]

@CaliSoccerFella haha no, they are YOUR friends ;D

[Asker]

I like to protect my friends at all times lol

[Jxpxtxr]

Yeah so you better not attempt to rape anybody lol

I don't believe for one minute any man could stay standing. Some women think it is funny and a funny thing to do to men but that is only sick, twisted women with a screwed up brain. It can stop guys from having kids and even kill a guy. So if any woman did it to me should would pay and I mean pay! It also should not be in movies.

You haven't been kicked in the balls before have u. It literally feels like u r gonna die. U lose breath and u can't move and its pretty much like it is in the movies. The pain comes slowly, u may stand for a second and then it hits u and u drop to the ground wishing someone would just kill u. Girls dont understand this but it really does fricking hurt.

[CaliSoccerFella]

If you connect the right way i assume you're down for the count lol
I've been kicked and i had the "throwing up feeling" in my stomach for quite some time

[Ilovedrumming1337]

Yes have you seen kicked in the nuts watch peoples faces and they drop to there knees.

[OrdinaryGentleman]

Its because you haven't been hit directly in the testicles only the sack most likely

[jakeofalltrades]

it is very effective. especially if the kicker is really trying to hurt you

My mma coach, the strongest guy at the gym, has been brought to his knees by a couple accidental groin kicks. If that answer your question

[SuperOzgur]

Then what's the point of learning to fight, if he can be taken down with a kick to the balls?

[Jedi_librarian22]

It's not about fighting exactly and there are accidents in every sport, like getting a concussion in football, but that's beside the point, I was answering the question

"I wouldn't try that if I were you."

[jmmmfi2]

Yeah I'd like to see you remain standing

[Anonymous]
