Impact in the groin: history and technique of striking, consequences and features

The primary goal in hand-to-hand combat, with the need for rapid elimination of the attacker, is the eyes and genitals. It is about striking the scrotum area that we will talk about in this material.

A strong unexpected push to the crotch area immediately suppresses the enemy's aggression, and in some cases can lead to his death. As practice shows, even the slightest blow to the groin can deprive the striker of consciousness due to the rapid development of a serious pain syndrome. Why? We will try to figure out how dangerous a blow to the inguinal region is.

History

In the last century, a kick in the groin was considered an authorized technique in some martial arts, which were distinguished by the possibility of fighting in a free style. However, today such actions are qualified in the professional sports environment as dirty, unauthorized receptions, and therefore are prohibited. The situation is similar in modern boxing, karate, judo and other popular disciplines.

Thanks to the protective pads used by fighters to protect the crotch, many of them do not know how to correctly repel a blow to the groin. This shortcoming was first seriously considered by the actor and master of martial arts Bruce Lee, who, in fact, developed a technique for defeating and protecting the genital area. The features of the correct impact are discussed further.

Why is the blow in the groin so effective?

Unlike other points on the body that can act as the target of a person when striking, the scrotum lacks natural protection in the form of fat, muscle tissue, or bone skeleton. Genitals are, by and large, a set of glands covered with skin. Therefore, the represented part of the body completely absorbs the impact force.

In the inguinal zone there is a great variety of supersensitive nerve endings. This allows a man to enjoy unique sensations in an intimate way, 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 bending of the body as a result of rapid spread of pain along the nerve endings in the pelvic region;
• Contraction of the lower extremities due to a reduction in muscle mass;
• Overstrain of abdominal tissue;
• The growing spread of pain from the genitals to the chest;
• Bladder rupture, testicles concussion, general pain shock (with severe scrotum injuries).

Selecting the position when striking

You can make a blow to the groin both from the fighting post and from the free position. The last solution is rational before the start of the fight, when it is important not to reveal your intentions to the enemy.

To take a stand, it's enough to straighten, place your feet on the width of your shoulders, bend slightly in your lap, take your working foot a step back. The hands should be held at chest level with open palms or with clenched fists.

Technique of application

To perform a successful blow to the groin, it is important to correctly calculate the distance. If you stand too far or too close to the aggressor, the pin may be too weak or pass in passing, which will not cause an enemy knockout.

The impact is as follows:

1. The weight of the body moves to the supporting leg.
2. The knee of the beating limb is taken forward. It rises up to about the level of the belt. In this case, the thigh is in a position parallel to the floor.
3. The blow to the groin from the girl is applied with a slight deviation of the upper body back. This allows you to maintain balance with your leg raised and stretched.
4. Immediately with the defeat of the inguinal region of the attacker, the leg is sharply straightened. Moreover, the poke is produced by the upper part of the foot. If the feet are worn tight shoes with a solid sole, you can beat the so-called "blaze" - from the toe.

In cases where the attack is too sudden and does not leave time for preparation, you can perform a quick knee blow to the groin. It is made from a similar rack, but without straightening the shin.

How to practice stroke?

For these purposes, it is worthwhile to turn to the experienced teacher of the self-defense club for help. It is recommended to train with a partner. To do this, you should take a strong, but soft protective equipment, best of all manual makiwara or sports "paw". In the course of working out the correct technique of striking, it is enough for the partner to keep such rags at the groin level, having set his own pelvis back.

Choice of tactics

In some situations, a single blow to the groin may be completely inadequate to neutralize the opponent, since the knee-legs can simply be extinguished with the help of hands. Therefore, sometimes it is better to disorient the attacker beforehand, forcing him initially to protect his head, and only after producing a lesion of the inguinal zone.

If it is planned to punch through the genitals with the first blow, it is desirable to redirect the enemy's view higher. As an option, you can look at the attacker in the eye, make the cotton palms over his head. At a time when the attention of the aggressor will be distracted from the legs, and it is worthwhile to perform an attack attack.

In fact, if the victim of the attack does everything possible to prevent conflict, but this does not work, self-defense with a blow to the groin is one of the most correct decisions. In such situations, in no case should you play by someone else's rules, competing in the skill of hand-to-hand combat, or being measured by physical force with the help of a fight. When there is a real danger, it is enough to strike an exact blow to the groin and hide in a safe place. Especially the choice of such tactics concerns physically weak girls.

Finally

Before you make a blow to the groin, you should think about the consequences and evaluate other possible scenarios. The accentuated 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 blow without extreme necessity, when there is no real threat to health and life.
