    Here's the process

    Let me clarify. Here's one Iron Crotch process. 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."

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

    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?

    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.

    a humiliating kick in the crotch

    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? If not, you can get it by lifting weights with your genitals.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    How's about learning both?
    Actually, I wonder if that's been done.
