The primary goal in hand-to-hand combat when the need for quick elimination of the attacker is the eyes and genitals. It is about the impact on the scrotum zone that we will talk about in this material.
A strong unexpected push into the perineum immediately suppresses the aggression of the enemy, and in some cases can lead to his death. As practice shows, even the lightest blow in the groin can deprive the attacker of consciousness due to the rapid development of a serious pain syndrome. Why? We will try to figure out what is the danger of a blow to the inguinal region.
History
In the last century
, kicking in the groin was considered a permitted technique in some martial arts, which differed in the possibility of fighting in a free style. However, today such actions are qualified in a professional sports environment as dirty, unlawful tricks, and therefore are prohibited. This is the case in modern boxing, karate, judo and other popular disciplines.
Thanks to the applied protective pads, which are used by fighters to protect the perineum, many of them do not know how to properly reflect the blow in the groin. This shortcoming was first seriously considered by the actor and martial artist Bruce Lee, who, in fact, developed a technique for defeating and protecting the genital area. Features of the correct strike will be considered further.
Why is a groin punch so effective?
Unlike other points on the body, which can be the target of a person when striking, the scrotum lacks natural protection in the form of adipose, muscle tissue or bone skeleton. The genitals are, by and large, a set of glands covered in skin. Therefore, the presented part of the body completely absorbs the impact force.
In the inguinal zone there is a great many supersensitive nerve endings. This allows a man to enjoy unique sensations in an intimate sense, but at the same time makes the genitals the most painful place on the body when striking.
Effects
After a stroke in the groin, the following manifestations can be observed:
- involuntary flexion of the body as a result of the rapid spread of pain along the nerve endings in the pelvic area;
- preload of the lower extremities due to a decrease in muscle mass;
- overstrain of abdominal tissues;
- the growing spread of pain from the genitals to the chest;
- rupture of the bladder, testicular contusion, general pain shock (with severe injuries of the scrotum).
Choosing a position when striking
It is possible to strike in the groin both from a
combat stance and from a free position. The last decision is rational before the start of the fight, when it is important not to reveal your own intentions to the enemy.
To take the stance, it is enough to straighten up, position the feet shoulder width apart, bend a little at the knees, and take the working foot one step back. At the same time, hands should be held at chest level with open palms or with clenched fists.
Application Technique
To perform a successful stroke in the groin, it is important to correctly calculate the distance. If you get too far or close to the aggressor, the poke may turn out to be too weak or pass in passing, which will not cause the opponent to knock out.
The impact is as follows:
- Body weight moves to the supporting leg.
- The knee of the striking limb is pulled forward. It rises up to about the level of the belt. In this case, the thigh is in a position parallel to the floor.
- A blow in the groin from the girl is applied with a slight deviation of the upper body back. This allows you to maintain balance with a raised and extended leg.
- Immediately with the defeat of the inguinal region of the attacking leg, it straightens sharply. Moreover, the poke is made by the upper part of the foot. If you wear tight shoes with solid soles on your feet, you can beat with the so-called “bang” - from the toe.
In cases where the attack is too sudden and does not leave time for preparation, you can perform a quick knee kick in the groin. It is made from a similar rack, but without straightening the lower leg.
How to work out a blow?
For these purposes, you should seek the help of an experienced teacher of a self-defense club. Training is recommended with a partner. To do this, you should take a strong, but soft protective equipment, best hand makivara or sports "paw". In the course of working out the correct technique for striking, it is enough for the partner to keep such a rag at the groin level, putting his own pelvis back.
The choice of tactics
In some situations, a single hit in the groin may be completely insufficient to neutralize the enemy, since it is quite easy to repay the kicks with your hands. Therefore, it is sometimes better to disorient the attacker first, forcing him to initially defend his head, and only after that defeat the inguinal zone.
If it is planned to strike the genitals with the first blow, it is advisable to redirect the enemy’s gaze higher. Alternatively, you can look at the attacker in the eye, make a clap of palms over your head. At the moment when the aggressor’s attention will be distracted from the legs, and it is worth performing a targeted attack.
In fact, if the victim of an attack does everything possible to prevent a conflict, but this does not produce a result, self-defense with a stroke in the groin is one of the most correct solutions. In such situations, in no case should you play by the rules of others, competing in the skill of hand-to-hand combat or measure your physical strength with the help of wrestling. When there is a real danger, it is enough to deliver an exact blow in the groin and hide in a safe place. Especially the choice of such tactics applies to physically weak girls.
Finally
Before you perform a stroke in the groin, it is worth considering the consequences and evaluating other possible scenarios. The accented impact on the genital area can not only seriously injure the enemy, but also lead to death. For this reason, it is not recommended to resort to such a strike unless absolutely necessary, when there is no real threat to health and life.
