You don't want to watch this. I though I did, and I was wrong.

Want to un-see. And want others to suffer as I do.

...spending five years being kicked thousands of times...

What could possibly drive a man to this sort of conditioning?

Oh, and "Kick me in the jimmy!!!!!"

as funny as it might seem, one of my best friend, who wish to remain anonymous but did do a lot of karate when he was younger, suffered from a testicle infection. The doctors blame the repeated shocks he had to endure in that sensitive region. Antibiotics did no good and he had to have one of them surgically removed last week to prevent the infection to spread. He is now tested for cancer.
It all began with a couple of kicks in the groin.

No kidding.

That man took that kick like a fucking champ. Someone should check for fake nuts like the dumb rich folk give their dogs. That someone being someone other then me. Maybe scumbag.

That's just nuts...

What must have gone through that guys head when he decided to train his groin to take that kind of abuse?

"Gee, I'm 45, I've procreated, I don't really need the twins anymore...let's see if I can't become impervious to groin kicks! That'd be like a superpower!"

Weird sort of midlife crisis...

So if that's the world's record, you mean there's an entire cadre of men training for this competition?

This is gonna sound fucked up, but... My sensei swears that he witnessed this:
O-Sensei could retract his junk at will. He took great pride in this, and showed the Canuck contingent when he was last here. We had a few beers when Sensei was telling us this, but he swears it is true.
I know these Okinawan types are hardcore, but I'm 50/50 on this one.

Wow. Uh, just what the hell led you to witness this, young Jagger? The interwebs are truly full of weirdness.

Having had epidydimitis, a type of infection down there in the ball garden? Was horrifically painful.

Calcified nuts. Jeebus. 1100 pounds of force to the twins? NO THANK YOU!

True. I knew of a guy in high school who could do the same thing. Or, that's what the word on the street was.
There's a gap in the muscles below your pelvic bone that will allow your testicles to pass back through into your body under the right circumstances.

I'm a believer. We never went this hardcore, but part of the basic training for our school was learning how to deal with impacts all over your body. The groin shots were more an issue of using the adductor muscles on the inside of your thighs to slow and stop the kick instead of taking it directly.

The rest of it? My sensei is highly claustrophobic. We're talking to the point where he cuts the neck out of his t-shirts because he gets convinced they're choking him. (With an 18" neck, nobody's told him otherwise.) One of the students is a doctor at John Hopkins, who convinced him to get into an MRI machine to measure just how much repeated microfractures in training had strengthened his bones after 25 years.

After the scan was completed, Sensei Rose's quavering voice could be heard from inside the tube. "We're done now, right?"

Problem was, a quarter century of heavy training does insane things to your bone density. So insane that John and his co-researchers were convinced the machine was acting up and giving them bad readings. They ran the test series again. Same results.

I moved away before he published, but the idea that high-impact exercises might not only be good for you, but potentially necessary to maintain bone density was eyebrow-raising for a lot of people.

The bits about the bone density really aren't up to too much debate -- that one's fairly straightforward and proven. I can even believe that some guys can retract the landing gear, so to speak -- sounds like a really smart evolutionary trait.

But... well... I suppose it makes some sense... but it does put a whole new spin on the expression "he's got a real set of stones."

Thanks, I'll just wear a cup -- and for the guys who can withstand getting kicked in the nuts like that? Fine. They're harder men than me, and better fighters. I'm ok with that -- that's why God invented large-caliber handguns with large magazine capacities. Or, better yet, long guns.

Fuck that noise... training to get kicked in the nuts for years... dude, You're doing it wrong! A big part of martial arts is to learn to avoid getting kicked in the balls!

mine would probably retract all the way in too if I had to show it in a bar to a bunch of beer influenced bacon eating bikers .
