The Iron Crotch of GM Tu Jin-Sheng

[GeneChing]

A BBC crew was here today to film a documentary on GM Tu Jin-Sheng and his iron crotch. It's part of a 3 episode series called ***** Envy; this episode is called Building the Perfect *****. So anyway, they filmed him pulling a 17ft U-Haul truck in our parking lot and both Design Sifu and I got to brace him for the tow. He did a similar tow at our 10 year anniversary (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=257)

GM Tu had me kick him a few times in the crotch to warm up. I didn't go full power - I have these slip on shoes from Caterpiller (even has a a tractor on the side) and it has the retaining bead which I was afriad might hurt him if I unloaded a full snap kick (it's one of my few decent kicks actually). But I did kick him about eight times, half of them were solid, all of them were enough to put a normal man down, given the target.

He did two pulls. For the first, he tied off using his shaft and balls. The second, he just used his balls, which he claims is much harder. He said he can do just the shaft too, but he has to be very erect and he said he didn't want to scare anyone. I had a close up view of all the tying in - it was as real as it gets. It took about half a dozen of us to push the truck back into position for the second pull.

For anyone behind the times on our Iron crotch research, here's my cover story (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=319). And my first piece that broke GM Tu's story (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=315). There was also a Weekly World News article that plaguerized my first piece without crediting me back in in Nov 2003, and a Penthouse article earlier this year that completely misqouted me (but made me sound wittier, so I didn't complain). We also did an article on his son Jack, a national champ, in our last issue, Nov Dec 2005 (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=624). Sandy Tu (aka Mrs. Tu) pulled me aside and said that I could have those skills for just 10-15 minutes a day. I don't know, man, I don't know...

[GeneChing]

Yesterday, I got paid to kick a man in the balls. And I made the front page of our local paper, the Argus (http://insidebayarea.com/argus/localnews/ci_3244724).

[GeneChing]

That article went to six ANG newspapers. We were mentioned on a sportstalk radio station and even appeared on a gaming forum (http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=72933). GM Tu's website crashed from the amount of hits it received. Stay tuned - more to come. :cool:

[GeneChing]

I'm scheduled to be interviewed by Jay Thomas (http://www.jaythomasshow.com) tomorrow, Nov 30th, 2005 at 1:30 PM PST (that's 4:30 in NY where he broadcasts). Hopefully I won't sound like a ****.

[GeneChing]

See the Iron Crotch demo for yourself (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=629). :cool:

[herb ox]

if you're being interviewed because you hang out with GM Tu, Steve-O and I should get interviewed 'cause we know the dude who 'hangs out' with GM Tu :D THAT would make some interesting shock jock radio, eh?


BTW, I'm signing up. I can spare 15 minutes a day:p


"piece" out,

herb ox

[GeneChing]

Jay Thomas thought I was GM Tu's trainer. It's a bit of a dubious connection because I don't train Iron Crotch, so these DJs have a hard time trying to figure out what to do with me. And so far, none of his students have really stepped forward to do interviews. None really have enough of a sense of humor or lack the depth of understanding of American culture needed to reply to some of the ***** puns. And as you know, Tu only speaks Mandarin.

Gigi keeps saying that I should train so I'd be a better spokesperson, but it requires that you don't ejaculate for several months while you build up your foundation, and that much DSB would make me cranky. You know how cranky I get anyway. Just imagine how mush worse it would be. I keep telling Gigi that smacking my balls around for 15 minutes every morning is clearly not within my job description. Not even in the fine print.

[@PLUGO]

Talk about a Ball Breaking job discription.

I'd happily lie during those "talks" what the hell... "we" trained with him for like a couple of weeks here in the office.

I've got some friends with Sirus radio... maybe they listened in. Wonder if that show's archieved.

Next Stop: Howard Stern

[GeneChing]

It's been one of my more challenging vows, but not nearly as hard as 'A disciple of Buddha doesn not intoxicate self or others' :o Besides, what if someone beleived me and kicked me in the junk? That would suck. Or maybe the converse. Whatever. It certainly would NOT be good for me.

Howard will have to wait. The next stop is Kevin and the Bean show (http://www.kroq.com/kevinandbean/), a southern CA morning show. I have an appointment next Monday. Tune in, turn on, drop kick. ;)

[GeneChing]

I'm also scheduled to be interviewed on the John London show (http://1069freefm.com/skin/blurb.php?sectionId=0&contentId=80277) at 4PM next Monday. There's live streaming on their site, so you can all hear me get flustered by another DJ. :cool:

[GeneChing]

Well, the Kevin and the Bean interview went well for me. They were really funny and seemed to be on point with their questions. Plus a So. Cal listener coached me a bit on their routines. Double December indeed. It was also noted that I tend to start answers with the word 'well'

Well, what can I say? I'm a writer, not a talker.

The John London interview went into this weird tangent that I didn't get at all. They started asking me if I thought Bruce Lee was really killed by Chinese mafia, then that classic newbie question "what is the best martial arts for the street?" then what my height and weight was and if I'd be open to accompanying one of them on a night out drinking some he could turn into drunk ******* and have me save him by kicking everyone's ass. wtf? I thought we were talking about Tu's testicles.

For the rest of the day, Gigi did a search on our novel incoming traffic, finding these sites, mostly porn sites, which she would IM me and ask about. That's right, my boss was IMing me porn. Can I claim sexual harassment for that? If only. Meanwhile, a mischevious Design Sifu was also IMing me sites that mentioned our recent Iron Crotch publicity, only a few porn ones, but one really nasty one that had nothing to do with it with these horrid overweight dominitrixes and, and, oh lord, let's just not go there. DS and I discussed posting the odd links here, at least the ones that a SFW, since most of them, especially Gigi's, were NSFW.

[woliveri]

Gene,

I know someone who practices this art but said he had too much heat rise up to his head. In fact, when I was there the crown of his head was just healing from heat blisters from practicing this art.

Have you heard of anything like this and do you know how is this controlled?

Thanks,

Well it DID say "IRON CROTCH" on the page!!!

[GeneChing]

woliveri: There are a lot of heat issues apparently, but blisters sounds rather extreme. If you really want to know, you should get Tu's Iron Crotch video (http://martialartsmart.net/prjt001.html); he explains it all there. I'm just the translator and occasional nutcracker.

DS: Overweight doms are just nasty. You just wanted to 'one-up' what Gigi was sending me. You could make yourself useful and post the SFW links you sent here, if you still have them.

[@PLUGO]

I just found out that someone cooked up some home made t-shirts of Gene kicking CROTCH!!!

Al I have to say is . . .

[zuiquan1]

you know, I tried to come into this thread with a mature attitude, but you all are making it really hard for me:D

[GeneChing]

I tell ya, after being pummelled by shock jocks after Tu's last stunt, I don't even bother trying to be excessively mature about it. That would be like overcompensating. Iron crotch is what it is. At the same time, I don't ridicule it. It's a formidable discipline and I have a lot of respect for GM Tu, not just for his IC, but for so many other talents he exhibits. He's a fascinating one, that's for sure...

[@PLUGO]

psssst . . .tell them about the cooking show.

[GeneChing]

OK, there is no cooking show - that's just Design Sifu's weird fantasy. But our media department is working on a TV ad for a local Chinese station for GM Tu, and there's talk of a 30 paid programming show that he might be working on with us - I'm not sure of the detail about that.

Do you KFM fellahs have any information about this?

Well we're constantly on the lookout for a plane; 747 or other. They are pretty expensive to rent so, so far nobody's foot the bill or offered a plane.

Supposedly there are a ton of mothballed planes sitting around in the Mohave Desert. Don't know what it would take to get access to pull one, though.

[GeneChing]

GM Tu's son, Jack Tu, is currently competing in K-STAR (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39272) in China. Here's the online voting site for K-STAR. (http://my.u-vv.com/vote/list.do?place=1) We ran an article on Jack in our 2005 November/December issue (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=624) - Is Wushu a Dying Art? - Champion Jack Tu Speaks Out By John Brown.

[GeneChing]

We had heard that Jack was eliminated earlier but we just got a call from Mrs. Tu. K-STAR has left Shaolin and is travelling about the country. Out of Shaolin, 4 Mainland Chinese and 5 foreigners qualified for the final 9 (including our own D. Y. Sao and Philip Sahugin). Jack didn't make that cut.

But Jack was re-qualified in a xiu chou contest. Ok this is going to take some explaining. Xiu chou literally means 'embroidered ball.' It's the name of that big red ribbon used in weddings (it's also the name of the ball that is used to tease lions in lion dance). There a ritual that's very parallel to the bride tossing the bouquet (or the garter), but in Chinese marriages, it's this xiu chou. For the show, they gathered up a bevy of miao girls to toss xiu chou to the competitors (this was after Shaolin) and Jack received the most, so he's back in.

[lunghushan]

[GeneChing]

The simple answer is that iron crotch works for us. The bottom line is that we have to sell issues to keep the magazine going and iron crotch sells. I get more publicity out of my iron crotch research than any other of my pursuits. Just take a look at this thread. No morning DJs have ever asked me to talk about Shaolin, or Kung Fu, or Tai Chi, or anything, except for iron crotch. Additionally, MartialArtsMart.com (http://www.martialartsmart.com) is the primary distributor for Gm Tu's Iron Crotch gear, and while it's not as profitable as TKD, nunchuks and ninjas, it does generate more substantial income, and ever little bit counts. So, just like if you're front kick is solid, for us, iron crotch is solid. We always hit with it.

The more complex answer is that GM Tu is extraordinary. Like I've said a thousand times, every fixates on the crotch, but once you get past that, there's so much more. Pretty much every master that reads and speaks Chinese and have interacted with GM Tu here respect him. They respect his skills, his research, and especially his painting and calligraphy. More than a few have asked for private lessons - and mind you, I'm not talking our customers that just walk off the street looking to buy a staff. I'm talking some high level masters. Bottom line - GM Tu has it going on.

You'll have to check out our upcoming NOV DEC 2006 because I have an article featuring GM Tu that has nothing to do with iron crotch. It's all about how to make and use stone locks.

[golden arhat]

that poses a bigger question .......why is everyone obsessed or interesrted in their crotch to me an article on shaolin would be far more interesting
maybe its that people like the idea of doing amazing feats with their crotch the very symbol of manlness maybe wht ppl are really interested in is showing off about how manly they are to others or proving it to themselves i mean u dont have to do train by pulling a truck with ur shaft to withstand a kick to the groin which is surely wht i would want from a martial art like that

i could be wrong

but i do agree with u GM tu has got skills

[GeneChing]

Sex sells. Plus it's a remarkable skill. We've all been kicked in the junk before so we know how vulnerable that region is. Imagine the skill to make it invulnerable. There's an amazing possibility of martial practice. For the record, and many martial artists make this mistake, GM Tu doesn't not practice iron crotch as a method of self defense. It takes him a moment to bring his qi up so it has no use in real combat, and being a former sparring champ, GM Tu is fully aware of this. Iron crotch is a qigong practice. You do it to increase your vitality and that, in turn, feeds into your overall power as a fighter.

[GeneChing]

Jack's still in the game. So's Phillip and D.Y.

It's a weird legacy, but at least I have some legacy, I suppose...:o

It says,
He has published articles in several major martial arts magazines beyond Kung Fu Tai Chi, as well as magazines about film, Asian culture and even a few adult magazines.
Are those published articles in adult magazines about the Iron Crotch or are you moonlighting? :p

[Hishaam]

The first time i saw someone performing an iron crotch stunt was on an old documentary about Shaolin featuring a young Jet Li, needless to say that i repeated the scene many times trying to ascertain that it was for real. Now GM Tu wants to go for a 747with some of his students, that would be one heck of a sight. BTW Gene any female students of his going to be part of that endeavour or is it still early as far as tolertance is concerned to talk about an iron crotch female style performance?

[GeneChing]

...GM Tu has done more for the progression of iron crotch than anyone so far. I think his next step would either be towing a train (so he would have done trains, planes and automobiles) or female iron crotch. Female iron crotch is far more delicate because it involves penetration and that takes it to a whole new level of censorship. I have yet to meet any female iron crotch practitioners. When I do, I'll let you know. ;)

6 People With Amazing Abilities (That Are Totally Useless)
By Cole Gamble May 03, 2009

#6 Tu Jin-Sheng a.k.a. "Iron Crotch" (http://www.cracked.com/article_17309_6-people-with-amazing-abilities-that-are-totally-useless.html)

He Does What Now?

Pulls trucks with his *****. Like a mother****er.

How many of you ever ran out of gas and resorted to pushing your car to the nearest gas station, the whole time thinking, "Man, this sucks, there's got to be a better way to move this car." And how many of you, while taking a shower the next morning, looked down at your ***** and cried, "Eureka!" If your hand is raised, you should know your ***** just put a restraining order on you.

If, on the other hand, you are a little sheepish about wrapping high-grade cable around your wiener and taking your automobile for an afternoon stroll, you're clearly not Tu Jin-Sheng. Utilizing an Eastern spiritual technique called Qigong, or "Iron Crotch," Tu Jin-Sheng spends his idle hours dragging tractors, trucks and airplanes around with mini-Tu Jin-Sheng.

This ain't no hobby for Mr. Iron Crotch. Tu Jin-Sheng is a bonafide Grandmaster of Chinese medicine. He is recognized as a professor of medical societies in Taiwan, Japan,and Canada because apparently in those countries they reward you a Ph.D. in yanking your junk. (Is that how it works? From now on you may refer to us as "doctor.")

And dragging private jets around isn't the only trick Tu's dong has up its sleeve. Qigong allows this Grandmaster to destroy his schlong in any manner of ways. Like this:

Notice the man kicking, with his foot so far up old Tu's baby factory he's actually kicking Tu's great-great-great-great-great grandchildren in the face? This guy is Tu's son. This kind of father-son bonding makes us jealous. When's the last time your dad said, "hey son, wanna go pay catch--with your foot and my ****?"

At IronCrotch.com (how did we not snatch up that URL?) you'll find all the equipment you need to develop an iron ***** of your own. Here's Tu Jin-Sheng's instructional video:

We hate it when the cover gives away the ending.

You can also read more about Tu Jin-Sheng and his genital empowerment program at, we **** you not, The International Journal of Sexual Kung Fu. It should go without saying this is definitely NSFW, unless you work at the ***** mutilation factory. In which case if you do, get back work! America's floundering economy is counting on you!

[enoajnin]

If you do a google search of images of Master Tu, half the pictures come back with Gene kicking Master Tu. Either we need more pictures of Master Tu or basically we need more pictures of Master Tu.

http://cdn-www.cracked.com/articleimages/dan/abilities/crotch3.jpg

Hi Gene,

I also kicked my master the same way you did, as hard as I can and with an upward swing, after he lift his gears up and taped them tightly against his body, he said never to kick him front on with a Dang Toi, that would make him drop to the ground and lose his voice for a while!

:D

[onyomi]

So what I want to know is: is he able to take the kick to the groin because he sucks his balls into his body in advance or because his balls have somehow become so tough they don't hurt so much when kicked? I'm thinking it's the former, right?

Also, does anybody know anywhere to get that 99 Power Practice DVD at a slightly more reasonable price? Maybe used? I don't mind paying for good info, but 180 dollars for a DVD??

[GeneChing]

Nor does he tie them back.

As for the DVD price, when we first released it, it was a lot cheaper. But GM Tu has been raising it incrementally over the years for various reasons. The funny thing is he still gets that price, but mostly from his students.

[onyomi]

Nor does he tie them back.



Strange. I can see some value in stretching and strengthening the internal organs via lifting weights with the base of the "package," but to toughen or desensitize the testicles to that degree certainly doesn't sound very good for you... Presumably they're sensitive for a reason. Does he have some explanation like "actually your testicles are just sensitive because they don't get enough energy flow" or something?

Have he or his students not had any fertility issues, I wonder?

[GeneChing]

Quite the opposite. Many of his older students have fathered children way into their autumn years. He's got several testimonials from students who advocate his practice to increase fertility. Tu himself has fathered four beautiful kids.

He was just here at the office with his wife and son. I'll be posting some pics later today or early tomorrow.

[GeneChing]

Jack had some hysterical behind-the-scene pics of life as Jackie Chan's Disciple. Unfortunately, it wasn't stuff we could share.

Thanks for the info and pics. I would train this skill with Tu if I lived in California... maybe next time I'm in Taiwan I'll have a chance.

GM Tu is visiting our office this week. He sublets our 'green room' to teach classes. It's a lot of grunting, breathing, and the aroma of moxa smoke - just in time for Thanksgiving. ;)

The way to look tall and big is to stand by a bunch of short rice-fed Chinese, not a gang of large corn-fed-beef-fed Americans.

@bawang - Tu has his own form - 99 Power Qigong. It's based on Daoist qigong traditions mostly. He's from Taiwan.

Yang You-sin says "99 Power Qigong," or "iron crotch" qigong, was the only solution he could find to relieve his chronic pain. (Photo/Chou Hsiao-ting)

Yang You-sin, a Taiwanese worker who became ill after years of manual labor, regained his health by learning "99 Power Qigong," also known as "iron crotch," in which male students train their genitals to lift iron disks weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Yang has been doing heavy manual labor since he was young. Ten years ago, his limbs started to swell and become sore after working and he was not able to find any medicine that could relieve his pain. He started to look into qigong after he heard that it can improve practitioners' health.

Yang says what improved his health was "iron crotch" qigong, which he studied after meeting the practice's founder, Tu Jin-sheng.

Yang showed his friends the results of his daily practice. First, he uses a red cloth to tie several iron disks to his genitals to warm up. When he feels prepared, he steps onto two pedestals and crouches down to tie iron weights weighing 230kg to his *****. He then stands up slowly, lifting the iron disks off the ground for 30 seconds. His friends have been, for lack of a better word, fascinated by his performance.

The student has become well-known at his master's training center and has been invited to perform in masterclasses in Indonesia.

Qigong is usually practiced to improve health, mediation, breathing and movement. The practice is closely tied to theories of self-cultivation in Chinese philosophy and comes in various forms and styles.

…Thanks to kung fu grandmaster Tu Jin-Sheng of Taiwan, a.k.a. the Iron Crotch, we know a flaccid human ***** can pull at least 8,100 pounds without being torn off.…
I'm not sure what the context was exactly. This just came up when I did a Zinio (http://www.zinio.com/) search of Kung Fu. It's the Lindsay Lohan issue. http://www.playboy.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/2011/12/2012-01-02-magazine-page/images/magazine-cover.jpg

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.

“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.
