For those who practice the big slams have you noticed a pain in the groin as if being lightly tapped or kicked there?
This happens to me as I'm taller than most of the people who slam me so I go over the top of their hip or shoulder.
One guy said, yea that happens to me sometimes, try and ignore it.
I'm ok at ignoring some kinds of pain but this seems like it may have negative repurcussions on down the road.
So, for all those of you with this experience how did you deal with it?

Wear compression shorts, an athletic supporter, vale tudo trunks, or tight underwear.

Your "goods" are moving around too much and that is why they fell like they are getting hit.

I don't get mad.
I get stabby.

Done lots of "flipping" breakfalls in Aikido, never noticed any infingement on the family jewels.
.......
Seior classes with lots of flipping are often desribed as doing a lot of "banging".
....
I guess i must attribute my success to tight underwear. :D :D :D
