Iron Crotch?

[Black Jack]

LOL:D

I see Kung Fu Qi Qong is trying to go for that illustrative Journal of Asian Martial Arts look.

What the hell.

[@PLUGO]

hmmmmmm... Do Illaborate.

please...

[M_ArtsMargie]

Yes....please do illaborate!

[dwid]

Are you guys being intentionally obtuse, or do you really not know how to spell elaborate?

I only ask because you both misspelled it the same way, which is really weird.

[M_ArtsMargie]

Sorry...didn't know this was school and that we were getting gradededededed. oops...i think i mispelled that. j/p

I only copied DS' becuase i didn't know how to spell it myself. LOL :D

[dwid]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to play teacher.

Like I said the only reason I asked is because you both spelled it the same way.

[Golden Arms]

Have any of you ever seen that picture of the Shaolin monk pulling hte log up a hill behind him, using his Iron Crotch? Is that what the demo of the guy pulling Margie's Truck was like? Crazy!

[Black Jack]

Advertisment on Buying a tape on Iron Sack.....gentlemen do I need to say more. Not to mention the waste of article space.

You don't think that is just a little to bizzare....I might see something like that in Fortean Times.

[@PLUGO]

Like I said the only reason I asked is because you both spelled it the same way.

Hey Grate minds think alike!!! :D ;)


BJPlease say more . . .

"a little to bizzare"

Bizzare, perhaps. I'm sure plenty of people out there would find lots of kungfu stuff Bizzare.


Still how was the article a "waste?"

[shaolin kungfu]

definitely not a waste:D

definitely bizzare.

[Chang Style Novice]

ahem -

Margie: "because
Golden Arms: "the"
Black Jack, Design Sifu, Shaolin Kungfu: "too bizarre"

Please see me after class - parent teacher conferences are coming up soon.:D

[dezhen2001]

and that from an artist too ;) (just teasing)

dawood

[Chang Style Novice]

Dat's rite! An' feel free ta bust my ass 'bout any impropa spellin' an' usage erras I should make.

Seriously, as an artist, I put a premium on clear expression and communication. Obscuring expression and communication is okay, too. But it should be deliberate, not accidental.

[dezhen2001]

that 1st sentence sounded scottish! :D
as for the second - agreed. ur thinking like a designer :)

dawood

[Chang Style Novice]

ur thinking like a designer

You take that back!:p

[shaolin kungfu]

I think the first sentence sounded more jamaican than scottish.

[dezhen2001]

guess it depends what accent u say it in :D ok heres a scottish romanization of what we would say:

Tha's riyt! An feel free tae bust ma ass aboot any impropher spellin an yoosage errurs aye shud make.

now thats MUCH worse LOL :D

dawood

[shaolin kungfu]

lol:D

Yoosage makes me think of sausage. mmm sausage:D .

[dezhen2001]

You take that back! :p sorry i was being heretical and blasphemous :D

seriously though, i have met many artists who are just 'expressing', and dont think about the communication aspects to their work. Thats why those ones tend not to be so successful imo.

dawood

[dezhen2001]

Sausage? have you ever seen haggis or black pudding? :D

dawood

[shaolin kungfu]

No offense, but haggis makes me want to hurl. Black pudding is strangely delicious:D .

[dezhen2001]

after eating it at least 2 days per school week for 7 years (with turnip and potato), i agree on the haggis part :D

as for black pudding... its ok. my religion now forbids us to eat blood so i dont have it :)

dawood

[Black Jack]

Just my personal take.

I would rather see educational articles on esoteric gung fu systems like you did on that old black tiger article or articles on kung fu fighting tactics for our modern day enviroment.

That's all. Smoke 'em if you got um.

[M_ArtsMargie]

I think it is almost like an art. It takes a lot of concentration and dedication to get it right.
I was there when master tu was pulling my truck....and let me tell you...at the time...i was thinking...."man, this ain't right" But then you think...what is the point right? It's to be proven of the iron body. Hard qigong as you would call it.
I think you have to be really talented to do all that.
One of the Shaoling munks that was there, pushed a car with a spear to his throat. That was pretty amazine too.

We get a lot of people that order this (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/ppjt001c.html) . Asking if it will enhance their sexual performace and such. You know it can right?
:p

[Former castleva]

I believe that the use of such obscure product for enchancing one´s "vitality" may possibly fend off the psychosomatic causes of weakened "vitality" in sexual activity which often is the cause for lack of it.
:p

Maybe it should be called yinjing shen gong?
;)

[David Jamieson]

I don't think it is superfluous at all Black Jack.

It is for the purpose of pointing out what the human body is capable of with persistence and hard training.

A more practical application of some of the more curious iron body techs such as golden egg or iron crotch would be the ability to withstand a strike to an otherwise highly vulnerable area of teh anatomy.

There are dhyana exercises that allow you to slow your blood flow which is highly useful should you be injured by being cut for instance.

These types of Kungs are indicative of what is possible. They do provide interest to those who do not have much of an understanding of asian martial arts and what is entailed in the undertaking of their practice. They are meant I would think, to draw the neophyte closer in interest to the overall offerings of qigong and Kungfu exercises.

The iron body and the iron palm are yet more results of methods drawn from the same principles as those that are employed in iron crotch training.

mpo is that these articles are of high interest and show us all that there are things we can achieve in the curriculum of our kungfu practice that sets kungfu apart from all other arts and gives it just that little bit of "more" than what is offered in your standard "punch, kick and grab" curriculums. For those who have practiced for a good period of time, the endless stuff regarding position, punching and kicking etc etc can get a little ho hum.

I realy like the emphasis that KFQG has been putting on various gongs and systems of gongs for enhancement of ones Kungfu skills.

Keep it up! (metaphorically speaking that is :) )

cheers

[@PLUGO]

"Keep it Up"

Yeah.... always trying to :D ;)

'specially with master Tu giving us the occasional training session

[fa_jing]

I enjoyed the article and found it informative, with respect to Qi Gong.

[Golden Arms]

We get a lot of people that order this . Asking if it will enhance their sexual performace and such. You know it can right?

Not to mention the awesome small talk you could make at parties! "What did you do today Golden Arms?" "Not much, you know, worked, went to practice, PULLED A TRUCK WITH MY ****, you know, the usual" ;)

[GeneChing]

I've been covering GM Tu Jin-Sheng now since 2001 and I must say he is one of the most extraordinary master that I have ever come in contact with. Like I mention in our current cover story, and I quoting myself now which is a little odd, "he's exceptional even if your overlook his truck towing skills." He's definately controversial, but I like that personally. The reaction he elicits I find particularly interesting, since it swings from prudish denial to impressed acceptance. But I think we can all agree that he pushes the edge of the envelop of practice, and that is worthy of coverage to me.

FWIW, GM Tu has set up shop here in an empty part of our office building. He has been teaching us some Taoist qigong, and his understanding and instruction are very deep. So I'll certainly have more about Tu in upcoming articles, but I doubt I'll do much more on the crotch. The rest will probably be straight up training and Taoist qigong techniques.

[@PLUGO]

for you ****s who just can't get enough Iron Crotch (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=315) !!!! :D ;) :p ;) :D

[M_ArtsMargie]

You've gotta swing over to our side of the building when you hear us being beaten with the big stick!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[M_ArtsMargie]

With this stick (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/2045.html) ? But how do i get to know when that is going to happen? I don't know what time he is doing that at:confused:

[@PLUGO]

sometimes it That one... other times it's this one (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/32-84.html) .

I thought everyone would hear us while we're getting smacked with a huge wooden stick.

stick it!

[GeneChing]

GM Tu gave two free seminars here over the last two Saturdays (see our own calendar (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/news/index.php) .) Sorry you missed them. If you start training with us, maybe someday you could tow your own truck.

[herb ox]

I'd just like to add my support for Master Tu and KFQG coverage of his methods and philosophies. I too, saw Master Tu pull Margie's truck (I was wondering who was the "lucky" person..., man I'd get a bumper sticker or something!) and I can attest to the reality of his training. What really impresses me, though, is that Tu Jin-Sheng is not just a master of pulling heavy objects with his equipment, but is a master of his life - it seems so well balanced, with martial kung, internal kung, music kung, medicine and the most incredible art and paintings... he certainly has set a higher standard of the term "master" for this humble-I, and has given me much to aspire to. (not that I should let my ambitions get in the way or anything, right??? ;) )

have you come out to any of GM Tu's seminars?

[herb ox]

Sifu of Design,

Yes, you have figured out my (not so) secret identity... :cool:

Are you referring to the "cover" the Lenape Brothers and I-self posed fo and then drew straws for the best copy? Are those files long gone?

BTW - if you had any say on my "cover" appearance (with the brothers) slamming the log into Shi Guolin on the DVD's... Big Up & Thanks... otherwise, pls. give my thanks and praises to those who were involved :D

heheh... that was such a Slammin' pict.

...er, Pun intended, I guess.

I had some input, but that pic spoke for itself... it just had to be out to use... another case of being at the right place at the right time.

Yeah, hung with the Bro's last November & it turned out their Mom gave away the cover pic... it's on my HD somewhere... I keep comming accross it every so often.

So when are you & the little miss gonna be in the Bay area again?

we should hang.

but er... not like IRON CROTCH (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=315) hang...
Like how I swung that back on topic eh? :p

[herb ox]

I fashioned a makeshift iron "hanger" out of a large eyebolt and a construction washer... I've got the sash, the silk "tie" and weights... but, do I really need the funny shorts to complete my 99 Power Practice?

[GeneChing]

...here's a funny Iron Crotch story. A few weeks back we had an enormous spike in our www.MartialArtsMart.com page views. I mean enormous in an off-the-chart kind of way. What were they looking at? Iron crotch (http://store.yahoo.com/martialartsmart/prjt001.html) of course. Now here's the funny part. We traced the lead back to some Japanese porn site. It seems it was some passing reference on their site and everyone flocked to check us out. It gave us a peek into the magnitude of net porn. I mean, we run three sites here, the ezine (http://www.kungfumagazine.com) , the retail store (http://www.martialartsmart.com) and our B2B site (http://www.tigerclaw.com) and we've never seen numbers like this. We knew porn was big on the net, but not that big. And to quote GM Tu himself "size matters."

[PangQuan]

I just saw the iron crotch add at the top of the page. My question is this, why the he!! would you put yourself through that?!?!?!

[spiraler]

whaddya think! to be bigger longer and harder!

[spiraler]

yet dont knock it till you try it.

[wdl]

The real question is does it give you girth.

-Will

[Disciple]

I was wondering that too...

[PangQuan]

Im betting that it makes you sterile, maybe even impotent.

[spiraler]

HAAAA! IRON CROTCH WEEWEE SLAP TECHNIQUE< NOW I NO PAY YOU< HOOKER!
um... yeah i bet it does.

[YuanZhideDiZhen]

i bet it makes you so big you can't stay awake. i also bet it desensitises your skin. if you're looking for a way to keep your qi up and not suffer the losses acrued durring sex just get a vasectomy. at least then you can still do it and remember getting off.

Surprisingly, women can actually practice Jiu Yang Shen Gong too. Female students can train by inserting a special ping pong-like ball in their vagina. This ball is attached to a rod, and then hung with heavy weights just like a man's *****. While a man can begin studying this qigong at any age, a woman can only practice it before she reaches menopause.

FngSaiYuk - That is an English translation. In fact, I worked on that translation, so it's decent. ;)

spiraler - Sweat and pee can be uncomfortably close, chemically speaking. Personally, I enjoy passing fluid out of my *****, so this part of the practice would rob me of one of my few morning pleasures.

wdl - Actually, there's a lot of qigong, and - for lack of a better term - self whacking, prior to any weight lifting. It's quite extensive, and rightly so. You wouldn't want to make any mistakes with Mr. Wilson, would you?

[FngSaiYuk]

FngSaiYuk - That is an English translation. In fact, I worked on that translation, so it's decent. ;)

Ahh, good, then it's a different video than what I had seen in the past. Looks like something else made it to the list of stuff I'm gonna be getting from MAM.

that guy's creating too much jing. he'll have a blow out one day. try getting him to light step. it's the opposite of being able to take a hit/fall. I knew a guy who used to practice his iron shirt by having his brothers take staff practice on him while he did tai chi....

[IronFist]

From the article:


When you wake up in the morning, do not urinate. Instead, exercise to sweat it out.

wtf? I read a similar thing in Jackie Chan's book. He said his teacher at the school said if you had to pee it meant you weren't training hard enough and sweating enough.

Um, it doesn't work that way.

Hey Gene, in the videos can you see his d.ick?

[The Xia]

I know, I know... What a title! :D
But I do have a topic and I thought it deserves its own thread (instead of being combined with the ongoing Iron Crotch thread).
My first question is about Iron Crotch. I've seen the results of the training. But what is the process?
The second is about pulling the testicles into the body (as seen in Kung Fu movies lol). In this video, the skill is identified as "Sun Sook Gung". Anyone know anything about this and what the training involves?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYLrGBrIzhQ

[TenTigers]

one of my mentors in SPM, told me that this will occur as a natural byproduct of the practice of Sam Bo Ging. Well, so far, I am a beginner in SPM,so as it stands,things are still status quo downsatairs. Maybe I'll practice this summer in the pool. Y'know, cold water an'all...

[GeneChing]

Let me clarify. Here's one Iron Crotch process (http://www.martialartsmart.net/prjt001.html). GM Tu doesn't retract. That's a different process. Now you're thinking, "hold the phone, there are different ways to do crotch training?" To quote the bard, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

[TenTigers]

I have a different method, but it involves the "Got Qi?" girls.

[Black Jack II]

What context does someone put something like this even in.....just of bored interest or something someone actually thinks is self protection based on a valid level of common sense and time?

[TenTigers]

I had a friend who made a similar statement. We were at a tournament, and there were a whole group of USA Goju guys doing sanchin kata and hitting each other-trying to psych everybody out, I suppose. My friend sez,"These guys spend all their time training to get hit. I'd rather spend time training how to hit instead." -good point.

[GeneChing]

It's a great misconception that iron crotch is trained in order to withstand a crotch kick. It's the same misconception that many people make about forms - that every move necessarily translates into a literal combat application. Built into the system of Chinese martial arts is qigong. People do iron crotch as a qigong discipline - the notion is that it increases vitality. In the long run, a more vital practitioner becomes a better fighter simply because he or she has more vitality for practice. That's really the essence of martial arts. You can train to fight, sure, but traditionally, martial arts cultivates one's vitality - increases the qi, if you will. got qi? (http://martialartsmart.net/95-036k.html) If not, you can get it by lifting weights with your genitals.

[Golden Arms]

The brand of Iron Crotch TM that uses weight lifting with the genitals also strengthens and thickens the fascia inside the body surrounding the organs. That has several great benefits related to fighting last time I checked.

[PangQuan]

last time i checked there are a lot of things to life other than fighting.

arent these things the reasons we learn to fight in the first place? to preserve and protect them as well as ourselves so that we can live long and be able to do more of the things we cherish and learn to protect.

IE: girls :D

[Takuan]

martial arts cultivates one's vitality - increases the qi, if you will. got qi? (http://martialartsmart.net/95-036k.html) If not, you can get it by lifting weights with your genitals.

That is the most brilliant thing I have ever read. Ever.

he invented the pickle :D

You can't flex fat :D

[IronFist]

That instructor looked like he had powerful moves.

But the drills people do in kf schools make me go wtf. No one punches like that.

That old dude hitting himself in the throat was awesome.

edit - I want to point out that that guy never touched him when his testicles were NOT retracted, so we have no proof that he actually has testicles at all.

[The Xia]

I'm surprised you post that being that the sifu in the video actually talked about what those drills do.

You doubt his ability to retract his testicles? If so, I think that's REALLY reaching.

I have seen pictures of sadhus(a yogi accetic guy)do this type of

hahaha...yup!
glad my wing chun doesnt do that! :D

You're Wing Chun doesn't do what? Groin kicks?

[KPM]

I meant the part about him standing there getting kicked in the groin

Dude. I think you missed the point.

[KPM]

Ok. I realize now I can't count on the idea that people will actually see what Maul is showing here. So I will explain it. He is illustrating the hooking groin kick used by Silat & Kali people. You contact with the toes and actually scoop back towards you. This will knock the hell out of the opponent's nuts. In contrast, the soccer style kick with the top of the foot is not guaranteed to be effective. To illustrate this you see him letting his training partner kick him in the crotch while he simply rolls his pelvis forward a bit as the kick contacts to lift his testicles up and push his butt down so that the force of the kick is taken up on his ischial tuberosities. This is how the old "Iron Crotch" Chi Gung trick works. Nothing magical about it. And he is NOT saying that his style endorses standing there and taking a kick in the cods to set up a counterstrike! He is simply illustrating a point! The hooking/scooping kick is better than the Soccer kick!

I just thought people familiar with the Chi Gung parlor tricks would find this interesting.

[GeneChing]

Been there, done that (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?39311-The-Iron-Crotch-of-GM-Tu-Jin-Sheng).

No offense meant! Obviously GM Tu is the real deal! I was referring to those that can simply withstand a groin shot like Maul shows and claim it is their Chi Gung ability to impress crowds.

Great balls of fire: Chinese weightlifter swings 80kg using his TESTICLES (http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/541292/Chinese-weightlifter-80kg-using-testicles)
A CHINESE man has lifted 80 kilos of bricks using only his testicles.

http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/590x/Chinese-man-lifts-80kg-weight-with-testicles-541292.jpg
Zhao Zhenhua in action

Zhao Zhenhua, 48, a practitioner of Xi Sui Jing kung fu, also swung the load, which was tied on with a rope, backwards and forwards by moving his hips.

His particular form of king fu is based on the principle that practitioners who are masters themselves can pass on their skills to their descendants.

But as one user on China's social media website Weibo commented: 'I am surprised if he ever gets any ancestors after tying that many bricks to his private parts.'

One observer claimed that Zhao Zhenhua managed to swing the load over 300 times by thrusting his hips.

http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/590x/secondary/Chinese-man-lifts-80kg-weight-with-testicles-227136.jpg
The kung fu practitioner then swung the weight backwards and forwards

The demonstration took place at a kung fu training centre in the city of Zhengzhou in Central China's Henan Province.

Eyewitness Shaiming Liao, 37, said: "I would say it was an eye-watering display, I counted over 300 swings of his hips and he didn't seem to be in any difficulty as he lowered it down."

Many others commenting online also pointed out that it was believed that the practice of swinging weights from a man's testicles improved fertility and increased feelings of well-being.

Liao added: "It has been suggested by many that people who followed this style of kung fu could improve the quality of their lives."

A FEARLESS Kung Fu fan was filmed showing off his “Iron Crotch” stunt as he let a huge wooden pole swing into his “balls of steel”.

The man can be seen allowing the huge pillar to repeatedly smash into his crotch – in a move said to showcase the strength of someone’s manhood.

The huge wooden pole smashes into his manhood at force but he barely winces

Dressed in a black tracksuit, he was videoed as he squatted in front of the pole to ensure it hit exactly in the right spot.

He then pushes it back and lets it swing into him again.

The footage was posted on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo yesterday by a user named Qidi Daily.

The Shaolin Kung Fu stunt is reportedly thought to treat erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, according to MailOnline.

Named the Iron Crotch, it’s a move designed to help men prepare themselves for being attacked in the groin.

It’s also thought to stimulate blood circulation and improve the flexibility of the tissues around the testicles.

Squatting down is believed to help transport “chi energy” to the crotch and make it hard as iron before being whacked by the pillar.

He goes into a squatting position to ensure it hits him in exactly the right spot between the legs

Experts say the exercise needs to be performed at least 300 to 500 times a day to reach the strength of the man in the video.

Western doctors don’t condone the exercise as a treatment for erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

Iron Crotch Kung Fu is meant to train male sexual health, practitioners believe (http://mothership.sg/2017/03/iron-crotch-kung-fu-is-meant-to-train-male-sexual-health-practitioners-believe/)

This is really nuts.

Chan Cheow Pong

Chinese martial arts has always attracted fans from all over the world, with its combination of power, precision and elegance.

Partly popularised through Hong Kong and Western action movies, it also appeals to those who are looking to learn more about Chinese culture, given that it embodies the philosophy and values of self-cultivation and discipline.

Shaolin (少林) and Wudang (武当) are two of the most famous schools of martial arts known to the world.

But there are also other obscure forms, that leaves outsiders scratching their heads and wondering what the world is going on.

Enter Master Wei Yaobin from Luoyang, who has built a reputation as an “Iron Crotch Kung Fu” practitioner for over ten years. He owns and runs a Kung Fu studio, teaching the art of how to take powerful blows to nether regions.

In Iron Crotch Kung Fu, learners subject themselves to strong blows and aim to build up resistance with training, in the unscientific belief that there are health benefits that can improve male sexual health.

Master Wei says that Iron Crotch Kung Fu was an exclusive practice and that only family members could previously inherit it, but are trying to make it more accessible: “We want it to be more popular and accepted by public.”

Some of the moves include voluntarily getting kicked by strong men.

A Chinese kung fu expert has demonstrated the results of his hard training by pulling a row of cars with nothing but his testicles.

Ye Wei moved seven Audi cars using a rope attached to his genitals on March 30 in China's Shandong Province.

After moving the vehicles for eight metres (26ft), the 39-year-old successfully broke his personal record set last year which saw him pulling five cars.

Ye Wei managed to pull seven Audi cars, weighing 12.6 tonnes in total, for eight meters (26.4 ft)

Mr Ye's attempt last Thursday was recorded on a video, released by Pear Video (https://www.pearvideo.com/video_1057067), on March 31.

The videos shows Mr Ye tying a rope which connects to seven Audi cars to his testicles. A group of supporters gathered around Mr Ye to cheer for him as the event took place in Zibo city.

As a highly focused Mr Ye channelled his might through his genitals, the seven vehicles - with a combined weight of 12.6 tonnes - slowly moved forward.

The moved for eight metres (26.2 foot) before coming to a full stop.

Mr Ye claimed that the stunt he performed is called Xi Sui Gong or Xi Sui Technique. He said that the stunt is a wellness regime practised by Taoists to improve their fertility.

The man is also said to have invented a hybrid school of martial art, known as Tai Chi Zen, after combining Tai Chi and and Taoism wellness regimes.

Mr Ye beat his own record of pulling five Audi cars last April, also in Zibo, Shandong Province.

After successfully completing the challenge, Mr Ye told a reporter from Pear Video that he had been practising kung fu for around 30 years and that he had worked as the principal for three martial arts schools.

The other types of martial arts Mr Ye practises are Hung Kuen and Shaolin Kuen. The man also claims to know Thai boxing.

Dr Chen Yu,Department of Urology at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital told Apple Daily Taiwan in an interview: 'Xi Sui Gong' could help curing or prevent urinary incontinence as the exercise trains the pelvis and muscles around the thigh.'

He also added the action of stimulating the testicles can help problems of premature ejaculation and extend the endurance on sex performance.

However, there is also an effect of bending the ***** and skin peeling on the testicles.

Kung Fu students dangle heavy wooden boxes from genitals (http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2017/04/25/Kung-Fu-students-dangle-heavy-wooden-boxes-from-genitals/4861493144840/)

April 25 (UPI) -- A group of students studying an unusual form of Kung Fu showed off their strength by swinging heavy wooden boxes from their genitals.

The video, recorded during an April 8 practice session in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, shows the students swinging heavy wooden boxes suspended from their genitals.

The practitioners said their form of Kung Fu, Damo Yijin Xisuigong, includes the unusual conditioning practice as a means of strength training and fighting dieases.

Master Wei Yaobin, a martial arts teacher and self-proclaimed "Iron Crotch Kung Fu Master," had his teachings go viral in February when he released a video showing his similarly groin-centered training techniques.

Yaobin claims his genital-punishing Kung Fu training can help men overcome erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Half-naked kung fu monk yanks 18 tonne bus along a road with his ***** - and everyone's asking one question (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/half-naked-kung-fu-monk-10398749)
To the sound of gasps and laughter the martial arts enthusiast goes to great lengths to impress the dozen onlookers after attaching himself to bus with a tow rope

MONK PULLS ENTIRE COACH DOWN ROAD WITH HIS *****

A kung fu monk pulled an 18 tonne coach by just using his ***** leaving shocked viewers with just one question: "Why?"

To the sound of gasps and laughter, the unnamed martial arts enthusiast goes to great lengths to impress the dozen or so onlookers.

Many cannot help but film the painful stunt - involving what appears to be a standard 13 metre long coach which weighs around 18 tonnes.

This video footage has racked up more than a million views in just half a day.

The footage begins with the bald-headed monk already having attached his ***** to the gold-coloured bus via a towing chain and what appears to be a red scarf or rope.

It is said to have been tied directly to his genitals - and his testicles are also claimed to not be involved in the stunt in any way.

Wearing an over-sized baggy shirt to protect his modesty - and naked from the waist down save for his black socks - the monk leans back and begins to proudly drag the coach.

To prove there is no trickery involved he throws his arms out to the side so there can be no doubt that this is a display of nothing other than '***** power'.

As the bus picks up speed he brings his fists down to his waist to focus all his energy on keeping up the impressive show of core strength.

The monk carried out the feat in the city of Huizhou in South China's Guangdong Province.

Experts say such a display requires the kung fu master to be in his calmest and most concentrated state - so as not to injure himself.

Indeed, this particular monk is rumoured to have been honing his skills for decades - although the fact that all his years of hard work have culminated in this display of 'manliness' has created some debate online.

The video - which has attracted more than 1,000 comments online so far - have a common theme.

Many appear to have also been repeatedly asking the question "weishenme" - Mandarin for "why?" - with the top comment containing the words now liked more than 1,500 times.

No passengers were on board during the 'trick' and the driver can be seen stood up in his seat videoing the display too - proving he was not driving!

May 19 (UPI) -- A kung fu master in China showed off his strength in a highly unusual way -- using his genitals to pull an entire bus.

The video, filmed May 2, shows the kung fu master in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, using a rope attached to his nether regions to pull the bus, which reportedly weighs more than 13 tons.

The martial artist pulled the vehicle a distance of more than 6 feet.

Groin-based kung fu training appears to be on the rise in China, with a group of students appearing in a video last month dangling heavy wooden boxes from their private parts.

Master Wei Yaobin, known as the "Iron Crotch Kung Fu Master," went viral in February with a video showing him and some of his students taking strong blows to the groin. Wei claims his form of kung fu can help men overcome erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Kung fu master tows military helicopter with manhood, breaks record (http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/kung-fu-master-tows-military-helicopter-manhood-breaks-record/)
ON MAY 30, 201712:55 PM
A kung fu master who dragged seven cars with his manhood has become a new world record holder by towing a helicopter even further with his manhood. Several hundred people as well as official adjudicators watched as Ye Hongwei, who goes by the stage name “Ye Wei”, towed the heavy military helicopter with a rope tied around his genitals. Footage of the incredible feat shows him stuttering at first, unable to get the momentum needed to get the aircraft’s wheels rolling on the tarmac outside the hangar.

Word Record Holder tows helicopter with *****

But he eventually summons the inner strength necessary to drag the helicopter over 10 metres (32 feet 9 inches) – beating his intended target of 8 metres (26 feet 3 inches). He was then given his world record certificate by officials representing the World Record Academy. Ye is from the city of Zibo in East China’s Shandong Province, where he has been practicing “zen tai chi” for over 30 years, but the feat was conducted in Fangshan District in Chinese capital Beijing. Speaking after his successful attempt, Ye Wei said: “I don’t know why I struggled in the beginning. I felt a bit nervous and unsure. “But I mustered up the energy needed and started the helicopter moving.” He added proudly: “I will continue practicing so I can break new records in the future.” In April, Ye towed seven Audis weighing 12.6 tonnes using his manhood, dragging the vehicles for a total of 8 metres (26 feet 3 inches). That attempt broke his previous record of pulling five cars.

Inside the World of the Men Who Pull Helicopters and Cars With Their Dicks (https://melmagazine.com/inside-the-world-of-the-men-who-pull-helicopters-and-cars-with-their-dicks-3cec8dcd4bc6)
Behold the ancient art of ‘Iron Crotch’ and its grandmaster, Tu Jin-Sheng

Chinese Kung Fu Master Ye Hongwei is more than willing to put his balls on the line for what he believes in.
For instance, before a crowd of gawkers, he recently swaddled his dick and nutsack in a yellow silk scarf that tethered them and a cable to a 5-ton military helicopter. Next, he placed his arms akimbo, let out a series of grunts and stepped backward until he traveled 10 meters (or roughly half the length of a bowling lane), with just his manhood doing the work .

And he has plenty of competition for the title of “strongest dick on Earth”— despite having the ability to pull a fleet of Audis with it:

In fact, several videos depicting feats of strength and endurance via male genitalia have popped up over the past few years.
There’s Wei Yaobin, who can smash his nuts with a brick, no problem:

And the nether regions of some old-school Shaolin monks, from which at least one other human being can hang:

While the feats may seem like hoaxes, the practitioners claim their mighty dick strength is due to an esoteric form of Qi Gong, a Chinese system of breathing, exercise and movement designed to improve energy flow in one’s body, called “Iron Crotch Kung Fu.”
“Iron Crotch is an odd martial art as it’s more of a body hardening skill, like being able to break boards over your head,” explains Gene Ching, publisher of Kung Fu magazine. Body hardening itself is a practice found within Shaolin Kung Fu in which daily exercises are practiced with the aim to toughen body tissue, thereby making parts of the body better able to withstand pain and pressure. The idea is that repeated impact to certain areas of the body will gradually help them to to sustain heavier blows. Along these lines, there’s also “Iron Palm,” “Steel Jacket” (aka “Iron Stomach”) and even “Iron Neck.”

Ching, however, says these exercises are more of a “byproduct than a means to an end,” and that many of the benefits of Iron [Body Part] come from the discipline it takes to harden the body as opposed to the stunts themselves. In the case of the genitals, this hardening of another sort allows men to withstand full-force kicks to the nuts without batting an eye. It also allegedly ups your sex game by an order of magnitude — supposedly increasing fertility, testosterone and ***** size (length and girth!) as well as curing erectile dysfunction.
Iron Crotch legend Grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng has been teaching the discipline for more than 40 years and once successfully pulled an 8,000-pound airplane more than 10 feet with his *****. Students of all ages learn a variety of qi gong and kung fu techniques at his L.A. headquarters, though Iron Crotch is what he’s best known for.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwUERkyy474

“Anyone can hang weights with their *****, but without the correct guidance and breathing techniques, the risk of injury is very high,” says Grandmaster Tu, whom I track down via email while he’s teaching Iron Crotch in Asia. “Many ‘Masters’ perform public stunts, showing off their Iron Crotch like a party trick, but they don’t have the slightest knowledge of the correct techniques.”
I ask him whether Ye Hongwei (the helicopter guy) was one of his students, and he says he wasn’t. But he adds that many of the estimated 10,000-plus people he’s taught directly are capable of performing such “stunts.” For the record, however, his training program only consists of hanging cylindrical weights from one’s unmentionables. He also stresses that he teaches Iron Crotch for the proposed health benefits, not for spectacle’s sake. (Beyond the increased ***** size and virility, Grandmaster Tu claims Iron Crotch is a “penile panacea” that can reduce the effects of old age, increase energy, improve muscle and bone strength, unclog arteries, reduce cholesterol and prevent diabetes, allergies and ear problems.)
“Crotch training isn’t just about how much weight you can hang,” Grandmaster Tu explains. “It must be paired with qi gong training to reach optimal results. And it’s very crucial to learn qi gong with the right master. Learning inadequate ways to practice qi gong can actually disrupt the way qi flows in our meridians, which will eventually lead to health problems.”
But like, how is this possible?
And more importantly: How can these guys be sure they won’t rip their dicks off?
“Simply put, the pelvic floor muscles and testicles are among the first to be strengthened [via weight hanging] when practicing Iron Crotch, and when these are strengthened to a degree, stunts like these can be pulled off,” Grandmaster Tu maintains.
Grandmaster Tu has a degree in martial arts from the elite National Taiwan Normal University and a master’s in Chinese medicine. He draws upon ancient Taoist and Buddhist traditions along with principles of Chinese medicine in order to develop his Iron Crotch program. (Iron Crotch has roots in ancient Taoist traditions and with 5th century Shaolin Monks.)
Beginners start with lighter weights — between three and five pounds — and work their way up as they develop their practice. At least one student, “Jorge,” claims in the testimonial section of Grandmaster Tu’s website that within three years he was able to lift 323 pounds with his undercarriage — among numerous other amazing feats [sic throughout]:
“Besides the incredible fact that my genitals can lift hundreds of pounds, I am enjoying a strong, youthful body capable of feats that were unachievable in younger years. I am having a progressive experience of an iron body that can withstand hits with hard objects and aging has slowed down.
“Regarding health, I have noticed that staying healthy has become more and more normal and that if the body has some symptoms of disease it can recover with greater speed.
“I encourage men (and women) to explore this practice with the guidance of an expert like Master Tu. Its potential as preventive medicine and physical fitness development is outstanding. The human genitals are reservoirs of extraordinary power and Iron Crotch has the key to access it.”
For a Western perspective, I reach out to sexologist Paul Nelson of Franktalk.org, an online forum for men suffering from ED, and president of the Erectile Dysfunction Foundation. He tells me that weight hanging is “rampant” in the *****-enlargement world, and that he does believe modest stretching and massaging of the ***** can improve blood flow, which can help someone with ED. “If there’s trauma or an unnatural state of extended times when there’s no blood flow, massaging will manually force blood into the *****,” he explains. “For men with ED, they’re usually not getting nocturnal erections or even any ‘chubbies’ throughout the day [so any additional blood flow to the area is beneficial].”
But, he continues, from a fertility standpoint: “There’s nothing to support the idea that there’s a correlation between longer *****es, harder erections, etc. and quality of sperm.”
As for the risks associated with hanging large weights from one’s ***** (or using it to pull aircraft), he was even less forgiving. “Where do I begin? Snapped nerves, ruptured pelvic floor muscles, torn tunica albuginea [the interior sheath that helps create erections], torn cavernosa [the blood-filled part of the *****], strangulation of the glans [the head] of the *****, innumerable torn tendons, ligaments and connective tissue. Plus, the ***** is anchored to the anus. Who wants to find out how bad that could get?”
The U.S. Marines removed body hardening from its martial arts program in 2011 “due to its limited effectiveness and tendency to cause injury when improperly conducted.” (It’s unclear if these hardening exercises included towing tanks and other multi-ton artillery with the dicks of recruits.)
Grandmaster Tu acknowledges Western skepticism of Iron Crotch, especially because of the “stigma” surrounding topics that have to do with genitalia, “but after having taught for over 40 years, the results that students have obtained are irrefutable.”
Still, there’s an old American proverb that seems particularly apt: Don’t try this at home.

Doctors in southeastern China have performed surgery to remove 70 magnetic balls from an 11-year-old boy after he inserted them into his ***** out of curiosity.
The unnamed boy was taken to Zhejiang University’s School of Medicine Affiliated Children’s Hospital on Sunday night after he complained of pains in his belly, the Hangzhou-based City Express reported.
After X-ray images showed a shadow in his bladder, the boy admitted what he had done.
The 70 balls, each with a diameter of 5mm, were retrieved from his bladder in a minimally invasive operation lasting two hours.

“The balls stick to each other and it’s difficult to remove them as a whole lump, so at the beginning we could only pick up two or three at a time,” Tao Chang, a surgeon at the hospital, was quoted as saying.
“After we had taken out around 50 balls, the remaining ones formed a line and we took those out in one go.”
Magnetic balls are popular among children and a pack of about 200 can be bought online for under US$10.
But incidents such as this have prompted doctors to warn parents against buying them as a toy for their children.

Tao said that doctors at the hospital encountered two or three similar cases per year, with the boys tending to be aged between 10 and 15 and the inserted items including electric wires, needles and, in one case, an 8cm ear scoop.
He said that a boy’s ***** could allow an object with a diameter of up to 7-8mm to pass through it.

In July, doctors in Zhumadian, in central China’s Henan province, removed a 40cm headphone wire from an 18-year-old boy, Dahe Daily reported. The patient was quoted as saying he had inserted it into his ***** a year earlier and, although it was painful, he was too embarrassed to tell his family.
A 13-year-old in Harbin, in Heilongjiang in the country’s northeast, had to have surgery last year to remove a 10cm electric wire from his *****. Doctors found the wire knotted in his bladder, a local television station reported.

Anyone who has been to a festival will have seen some astonishing sights, but perhaps none as eye-opening as this holy man at a Hindu religious festival in India.

The sadhu - a holy man following the Hindu or Jainist tradition - was photographed performing a bizarre feat of strength as he pulled a truck around using only his *****.

He was spotted in Allahabad, in northern India, where hundreds of thousands of Hindus are gathering for the annual Magh Mela festival which began on January 2.

Sadhus reject early pleasures in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and as such often shun wearing clothes altogether. They are known for performing strange or impressive feats of mental and physical strength

The 45 day event sees worshipers bathe in the waters of Sangam, the confluence of the holy Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers, on appointed dates.

Sadhus are wandering holy men who have rejected earthly comforts in search of spiritual enlightenment in the hopes of breaking the cycle of reincarnation, a major tenet of Hinduism.

As such they own no possession and opt for only modest clothes, or in some cases decided to live naked, relying on the kindness of strangers to provide for them wherever they go.

Often sadhus will perform feats of physical or mental strength as a display of their spirituality and mastery of yoga techniques, as the majority of them are also yogis.

Sometimes this involves lifting or carrying objects with the *****, though many other demonstrations take place.

For example Radhey Shyam Prajapati holds the Guinness World Record for the longest time stood motionless, at 8 hours, 5 minutes and 5 seconds, while Rajikumar Chakraborty did a static wall sit for 11 hours and 5 minutes.

'Sadhus reject early pleasures in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment'
They also smoke a lot of pot. It's where we get the term 'ganga' as in the Indian name of the Ganges river. :D

65-year-old Chinese martial artist loves to get hit in the crotch with a log (https://metro.co.uk/2020/11/19/65-year-old-chinese-martial-arts-expert-shows-iron-crotch-kung-fu-13619828/)

Wang Liutai is an Iron Crotch Kung Fu master in the central Chinese city of Luoyang. He started to practice the martial art when he was a teenager. The 65-year-old runs lessons with other hopefuls who want to master the art. Wang’s practice tool is a two-metre-long log weighing 50 kilograms. It has a diameter of over 20 centimeters. A video shows him take on the hefty log as it swings towards his crotch, which he manages to stop without moving.
Practicing Iron Crotch Kung Fu, or Tie Dang Gong, is a tradition in Wang’s village. Wang says that he wants to pass it on to younger generations through his martial arts school. While it may look painful to most of us, those who practice this style of martial arts take the hits in their stride, hoping that it’ll make them stronger.

Ouch (Picture: SWNS)
The tradition has been alive in Lyoyang for 300 years and the few who engage in it, such as Wang, want young people to take part. Other iron crotch masters have taken to busy districts to show off what the sport entails.

This looks like the same dude. (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?20348-Iron-Crotch&p=1299521#post1299521)

Chinese “iron crotch” kung fu masters fight to preserve a painful-looking tradition (https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/other/chinese-e2-80-9ciron-crotch-e2-80-9d-kung-fu-masters-fight-to-preserve-a-painful-looking-tradition/ar-BB1bMvUJ)

JUNTUN, China (Reuters) - Wang Liutai is no ordinary kung fu master. The 65-year-old from a village in central China practises a unique and excruciating-looking strand of martial arts coined "iron crotch kung fu".

Its most famous technique involves a steel-plate capped log, 2 metres (6.5 feet) in length and weighing 40 kilograms (88 pounds) that swings through the air and smashes into a man's crotch.

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1bMqJe.img?h=834&w=1248&m=6&q=60&o=f&l=f&x=2267&y=780© Reuters/MARTIN POLLARD Wang Liutai demonstrates "Iron Crotch Kungfu" at his martial arts academy in Luoyang
"When you practise iron crotch kung fu, as long as you push yourself, you will feel great," said Wang, head of the Juntun Martial Arts Academy.

Wang, who has been practising the technique for around half a century and has two children, insists that with the correct methods and sufficient practice, it does not hurt and has no effect on fertility.

The iron crotch, mastery of which is gained by taking hits to the body's weakest points while using qigong breathing techniques to inure oneself, is just one element of the branch of Tongbeiquan kung fu that has been practised in Wang's village for the past 300 years. The style encompasses scores of attack techniques as well as resisting pressure, pain or hits to other sensitive areas.

"We also have iron throat, iron head, iron chest, and iron back as well," said fellow master 53-year-old Tang Xiaocheng.

The style of kung fu practised by those in Juntun village on the outskirts of the ancient capital of Luoyang was historically a fiercely guarded secret, but concern has grown that fewer and fewer people were taking it up and it might not survive.

There were once around 200 people regularly practising in the village, said Tang, but now there are just over 20. The number that can practise the iron crotch technique has dropped from around 80 to just five.

That's why Wang and his fellow masters started to actively promote their style of kung fu, adopting the swinging log device in 2016 to demonstrate the iron crotch technique where previously villagers had kicked, punched or used bricks or sticks.

Their efforts have helped them gain several new students in cities across the country who learn using social media or custom-made videos posted online.

"If there are more students carry it forward and spread it to the whole country and the world, if they can carry this form of kung fu forward, then my dream will come true," said Wang.

Iron Crotch: The Ancient Martial Art Of Junk Crushing (https://www.cracked.com/article_35268_iron-crotch-the-ancient-martial-art-of-junk-crushing.html)

In Juntun village, near Luoyang in China, there has long existed a special type of Tongbeiquan kung fu. This martial art focuses on striking sensitive parts of your own body, to strengthen them, till you feel no pain.

To train in this manner, you must strike your own neck (“iron throat”), your back (“iron back”). And, yes, you must hit your most vulnerable parts of all. This ultimate technique is called iron crotch, and the man in training must target his own genitals.

He must not merely hit or kick his own crotch. This wouldn’t exert enough force, your own self-preservation instincts would restrain you, and it may require impossible contortions. Instead, the proper tool is a 90-pound log, tipped with steel. The log hangs, like a battering ram. Then he or a partner pulls it back and drives it at the kung fu acolyte groin. Observe:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk9ZUp9dE1A

That’s a Reuters video—this is no hoax or ******* stunt. The village has followed the practice for centuries, and that 65-year-old expert has been a devotee since his teen years. His name is Wang Liutai. Yes, his name is Wang.

The village kept iron crotch to themselves for a long time, but they finally sought publicity a few years ago out of fear that the tradition may otherwise die out. When Reuters visited Juntun in 2020, only five people were well versed in iron crotch, while records previously spoke of 80 experts practicing it at once.

Naturally, some cowardly outsiders might fear permanently damaging themselves by such powerful repeated genital trauma. Wang insists that once you’re used to it, it’s totally painless, and it leaves no lasting damage on the fragile reproductive system. We have no doctors weighing in on this, but for what it’s worth, despite having swung a log at his testicles throughout his adult life, Wang managed to father two children. The video is 2020 but the article was this weekend.
