Girls, Should I wear a cup when kickboxing with a girl?

[houstontexans]

I have gotten back into kickboxing since my club reopened after being closed due to the pandemic. I have stuck to just training but would like to compete soon. In competitions, your opponent's gender is random, so I could fight a guy or a girl. I have no way of knowing until the day of the competition. I don't wear a cup when I'm training because it is uncomfortable and restricts my range of motion, especially with kicks. However, I have seen a few competitive fights recently where it's a guy fighting a girl and I have occasionally seen the girls try to kick the guy's groin in the middle of their fight. So now I'm worried because if I end up facing a girl and I'm not wearing a cup, she could land a hit to my balls and win the fight. But if I do wear the cup, I won't be able to be as nimble or be able to kick as far, so she could still beat me. I haven't fought girls before so I don't know how they think during fights. So here are my questions for you to get insight:
1) Girls, if you were fighting a guy and you knew he wasn't wearing a cup, would you go for his balls to win?
2) If you did, how hard would you do it? Full strength or just enough to weaken him?
3) If you managed to land a hit to his groin but he didn't go down, would you move on to something else or just kick him again until he goes down?
4) If he was wearing a cup, would that change how you fought him?
Every answer helps.

Yes, definitely wear one

No, take your chances

1. Yes absolutely I would. It’s a great way for girls to make up for our lack of equal strength.
2. I would go hard so the fight ends right then and there. I don’t want to risk going light and making him mad.
3. I would use other moves so that he would move his hands away from his groin and wait for a good opportunity. Then I would give him another hard kick.
4. Yes, with a cup his groin is a bit tougher and it could hurt my foot as well.
I would have to recommend you wear one, knowing what I and other girls have done to guys in fights. I can’t imagine a girl wouldn’t go for that shot if you were cupless.

I’ll just say that as a woman it’s a bit satisfying to see a man on the ground after I’ve kicked him in the balls and made him a soprano.



Oh you were asking about a cup.. sorry I guess that’s up to you lol

[houstontexans]

Remind me to never fight you without a cup! So I probably should wear one?

[RedStiletto88]

Your little swimmers might appreciate that haha

[houstontexans]

You're probably right. Would you mind PMing me?

[Renee_IsCool1]

Mood lol

[JennyDunne2]

I don't really do any fighting sports, but if I can kick a guy in the nuts without any consequences I'm probably going to.
Maybe it depends on how well you can take a kick? I know cups don't always provide that much protection so it might be as well not wearing one if it restricts your movements too much, but I would plan to be kicked in your sensitives either way.

Also don't forget the comedy value from not wearing a cup. Not really a helpful not for you but... you know

[houstontexans]

So do you think most girls would do something like that to beat me?

[JennyDunne2]

Yeah probably. Its a bit mean to say but it can be hard to really empathise with something you've never and will never experience, so I think even girls that feel bad after will find it hard in the moment not to. Even best of times I personally find it hard to internalise how much it hurts guys, if your entering a situation where you've basically telling her that its ok then I imagine she probably will

[houstontexans]

Oh shoot, I might be in trouble then. I don't want anyone to punt my nuts!

[JennyDunne2]

I mean I don't think there is much you can do about it dude I'm afraid lol

[houstontexans]

I'm afraid too. Thanks for your help

Dude you'd be dumb not to wear the cup... Girls know your balls are weak and they are going to attack them.

1) Hell yes, I've done it many times. Guys are going down!
2) Full strength it guarantees that I win?
3) Depends on how he reacted but usually they at least just take a few breaths after a hit to the testicles and they are crouched down. I'd go for the face afterwards.
4) Nope even guys with cups usually go down.

My principals when fighting men are simple: Face and testicles.

One hit to the latter and down they go!

Don’t wear the cup 👎 your focus should be on winning and performing to your best, which means not wearing the cup and being more able to perform your attacking moves with your kicks. My answers to your questions are…1. Yes, absolutely!2. I would kick my absolute hardest to assure the win! 🙋🏼‍♀️3. I would kick to the groin as many times as I had to for the win.4. I would still kick to the groin even with the cup, but those kicks would obviously be less effective.

[Cassy2834]

1) Absolutely. Balls are a guy's natural weakness so that would be the first place I would aim.
2) I would kick as hard as I could to win the fight.
3) I would keep kicking his balls until he finally went down. But I'm pretty sure after one kick from me, he would be on the ground crying.
4) I would still aim for the balls even if he had a cup on. If my first kick is hard enough, it would knock the cup out of position. Then once his balls are unprotected, I would deliver a devastating kick that would end the fight.

Dang, hardcore! I like it!

1) Absolutely. Balls are the first target that comes to women's minds when fighting a man. It's the biggest advantage we have over them.
2) Full strength, obviously. One kick and the fight is over.
3) I would kick him in the balls as many times as I could, but I'm sure just one kick would be enough to make him fall and cry.
4) Probably yes. Groin kicks can still be effective if he is wearing a cup, but it would be way less effective.

[houstontexans]

So you think I should wear one because a girl is likely to try this?

[Anonymous]

Absolutely not. If I knew he was wearing one, then I might kick there, but if he's not wearing one I definitely wouldn't aim there.

You should wear a cup against both guys and girls, and in training too.

[houstontexans]

Why would you kick there if he was wearing a cup?

[Opinion Owner]

I still wouldn't aim there intentionally, but I wouldn't be careful to avoid it

[Paige90]

Have you had a girl kick you in your balls?

[houstontexans]

Yes, more times than I would prefer

[houstontexans]

@paige90 have you ever kicked someone in the balls?

[Paige90]

Yes several times

[houstontexans]

Why?

[quetimporta]

[houstontexans]
