The Iron Crotch of GM Tu Jin-Sheng

[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.

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 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.

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
