During one of our class we learned different types of kicks. At the beginning Linda asked us: Have you ever been on a beach, standing in the water till your ankles, and suddenly you had that urge to scoop some water with your foot. To take as much of it as possible and bring it up and then to have some joy seeing the water splashing, drops floating and glowing in the air?
A woman’s foot can be used as an effective
scoop, her leg as a strong handle. This is a principle of a special kick I want to teach you today called the testicle scoop kick, in short, the scoop kick. It comes from a martial art called American Kenpo. Many highly effective moves which can be used by women for self defense were actually originally invented by Kenpo fighters.
This kick can be used when the attacker is neither too close nor in a relatively far distance. This means you can use it when he is slowly approaching you or when you already pushed him from you, for instance after an eye gouge or an Adam’s apple strike and for a knee he is already too far away. The principle is different that the instep front kick in which you want to drive his testicles up and crush them against his pelvis. In this case you kick with the foot in a raised position between the attacker’s thighs (A) so your toes make a hard contact with the sensitive back of the testicles (B) and instead of bringing your leg back on the ground in the same trajectory, you pull it towards yourself scooping the testicles and sharply yanking them with your foot (C). Your foot should make a more circular than a linear movement. Imagine you have a box full of walnuts and you want to get some with a scoop. In this case, the scoop is your foot and the walnuts his testicles.
Linda then explained us that there are several important aspects which make it such an a highly effective technique. Testicles are to some extend adapted to resist pressure directed in (for instance they are mobile within the scrotum and can slip away from the impact) but not for a sudden and violent yank outwards which causes an incredible sharp pain. Moreover, female toes can pierce between man’s thighs more easily than a full instep and his penis cannot provide any protection or cushion. Finally, the first impact happens at the back of his testicles which, as already discussed, is highly sensitized by the presence of the epididymis. Logically, this kick is more easily performed and the most effective when he is naked, and his scrotum hangs loose, but is still well applicable when he is clothed. As with the other self defense techniques, the precision and mnemonics needs to be properly practiced. Needless to say, but this can be really fun, I remember it was so hilarious to see the silicone testicles flying up and down after some precise ‘scooping’. To finish this post, regardless of his stature, strength, or determination he will drop to his knees after a well-executed scoop kick.
Great post, this is another great technique we can use whenever we like.
ReplyDeleteWomen should be able to do this to any man that walks towards them if they feel he looks or may be threatening in any way, since as a man, he will probably rape a woman some day. Also, women should be immune from any legal proceedings from these actions.
Cheers,
Diana
This is another serious technique and should be used only when threatened.
DeleteThis is similar to a technique using the stiletto heel of a shoe. An elderly friend once told me how she and her pals used to go to dance halls wearing flat shoes then change into high heels that they brought with them in their handbags. On the way home the shoes in the bag were handy weapons if anyone tried it on with them. The girls all knew how to stab upwards to hook the back of the balls with the heel - then pull forward. trousers were no protection!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this excellent comment. It is funny, actually I wanted to cover this powerful technique in one of my following post. It is amazing that girls in the past were able to invent and use these effective techniques without attending any fancy self defense courses. Stiletto shoes are not only a chic part of our outfits, but can be also used as weapons of mass destruction when needed LOL. Some of the predators praying on those beautiful dancers learned it the hard way :-) Many self defense courses wrongly suggest that wearing high heels is a hurdle when a woman has to defend herself but actually the opposite is true. I will cover this aspect of female self defense in more details in the future. Thanks again.
DeleteI once heard a guy say that getting kicked in the balls from behind was way more painful than getting kicked front on. I always thought that was weird but now I'm thinking it might me because you're more likely to hit the delicate parts at the back of his testicles just like with a scoop kick. Do you know if this is true or not?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. That's true, the mechanics behind (sorry for the pun) both kicks is quite similar. Testicles are yanked forward and the impact area is the highly sensitive back of the testicles. Kicking testicles from behind is a good strategy when one woman needs to free another one from an attacker. I will definitely cover some of these scenarios in the following posts.
DeleteI've heard that a kick in the testicles hurt more when men don't see it coming, is it true?
DeleteYes that's true. When attacking testicles it is important a woman does not telegraph her intention and the strike comes as a complete surprise for him (very unpleasant surprise to speak). Linda told us this is because he cannot counter react in that fast moment but also that the surprise aspect generates more pain. It is not that well research area but most likely the cause is the differential response of his neural system. When a hit/kick is not expected the neural system sends a much stronger pain warning signal to the brain: your testicles are in great danger and you even don't see it coming, you dumbass! :-)
DeleteWhen you sustain any injury, however slight, there is always an element of shock involved. This shock is greatly reduced if you have the chance to "brace yourself" before the impact. I have seen men pass out from shock. On one occasion a girl I knew hit a guy from behind with a leather belt and the heavy buckle curled around his thigh and caught him square in the balls. We all thought he was faking when he was unconscious for a few minutes - but knew it was real when he threw up after coming round.
DeleteThanks for a comment. I can imagine the combination of surprise and a sharp hit by such a hard object as the buckle was devastating. Women should be careful when using a belt for spanking a male partner on the butt. Sometimes it can land on a wrong place LOL.
DeleteLOL One would be inclined to think you're speaking from experience!
DeleteTo be honest, yes. Recently, my boyfriend was behaving really badly so we agreed on some corporal punishment: five lashes with a belt on his buttocks. He bent over an armchair and I spanked him five times and while he was getting up on his feet I still wanted to give him the sixth lash for a good measure. But because meanwhile he spread his legs too much and the lash came more vertical then horizontal it landed on the back of his ballsack. Well you can imagine the reaction. Now he refuses any corporal punishment but I have to say he behaves now.
DeleteI'd really like to think this story of yours is tongue in cheek, but it's difficult to know, given your, ah.. eccentricities... I'm glad to hear your keeping that boyfriend of yours in line Wendy. Next time, why don't you just use the scoop kick or death pinch on him - kind of progressive discipline. If he still doesn't fully comply with your every whim, then an eye gouge (both eyes or course) is likely in order. Whether you allow him to keep his eyesight of course is entirely up to you, but I would suggest that if you want him as a slave (as if he isn't already) he'll need to be able to see to do all those chores...
DeleteWendy the ballbuster and domestic violence criminal. Who would have thought?
DeleteThe guy should have given that woman a hard strike to the throat in return.
DeleteHe is behaving, there is no need for more punishment. Hard to believe you have never been punished by your female partner. Well, I am now thinking, I would suggest her a hard knee to your filthy testicles to teach you not to be disrespectful to some female bloggers.
DeleteReally? How brutal of you Wendy. You see, in most developed countries that is considered assault- and may well be considered sexual assault, which may also be a felony, which means an offense punishable by prison time. Over there in Eastern Bananaland there are probably laws against such things as well, regardless of whether you wish to acknowledge it or not.
DeleteOh and Wendy, respect is earned, and your latest idiocy as shown in your maple syrup non-explanatory post doesn't earn you any...
Relax man I forgot to put a smiley. Don't worry nobody is going to knee you in the testicles. Enjoy the holiday season.
DeleteI'd like to congratulate you, Wendy, on the new blog post.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to read your correct and analytical form of exposition. Of the best I've read on these issues. I congratulate you.
And I must admit that for me it has been a new technique. I didn't know her. And that thanks to your presentation, I understand when you told me that it would be useful in my case - having the testicles resting on the thighs, in front.
The pull to which the testicles are exposed with this technique is really devastating. Making it one of the highest pain index I know so far.
I congratulate you. Wanting to continue reading more: D
Thank you Vil. Yes apparently this kind of kick is much more painful that a normal kick. I'll do my best to make a new post soon. Regards
DeleteYou mention silicone testicles but did you ever practice this on your male volunteers?
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Silicone testicles attached to a dummy is a good stationary target for basic training. You can learn the mechanics of the move and to aim good, but the real attack situations are different. I used to practice this type of kick with Bob. He enacted different attack scenarios and it was not that easy for me now to aim when the target was moving and sometimes not in a right distance etc. But finally after some practice, almost every time I got those balls in a good scoop :) It was such an odd sensation to feel his tender organs on my toes (especially the one time he played a naked attacker :)
DeleteAlthough I tried to not to do it with full force he was always out for a long time. We had to do a long breaks and used a lot of ice packs. He said the pain is strong and sharp worst than a normal kick. I could definitely learn it from his reactions :) Poor Bob, but he was brave.
What were you doing - interviewing him while he lay on the ground or on a bench with ice on his genitals? Did you enjoy seeing him pain? Good of you not do kick him full force, that must have been a tough decision for you. I presume you got the ice for him, or did he have to do that for himself? Must have taken a lot of self-discipline not to try for a good opportunity at rupturing a man's testicles.
DeleteWell yes, I was pretty much interested in his feelings and experience he was going through :) We women are curious about this kind of pain as we do not have balls.
DeleteCommon, do not draw me as a monster. I caused some pain true, that was a part of the training, but I did my best to mitigate it. An ice pack on the right place, some petting, kind words a kiss on his cheek all helped to brush it off.
Frankly, I did not enjoy seeing him in pain. However, the true is, that the thrilling empowering feeling that I can easily floor a guy was indeed there...
You certainly display sadistic tendencies. As I stated elsewhere here, I certainly believe that you would relish the opportunity to utilize all of the most vicious techniques you describe in this blog, certainly including killing a man. And I don't believe for a minute that you didn't take pleasure in causing him pain. That's what you're all about.
DeleteWhat did you do, sit with him while he is in severe pain and ask him what it felt like? Did you come close to orgasm?
I am confident you rejoiced in what you did, while at the same time doing a good job of feigning sympathy and care for him - after all, it's one of the things you do best. You are such a prize Wendy!
DeleteYes, sometimes I wish I have the opportunity to utilize all of those techniques on some of the commenters here :) Yes, while he was writhing in pain I fetched an ice pack and (gently!) put it on the right spot to ease the suffering. Then I put my arm around him and kissed him on his cheek. Is it really so painful? I asked him... How was it with my orgasms nights after I already shared (and did not make a drama out of it).
DeleteI've been following your "debate" and really don't understand where your detractors are coming from. Placing limits on your response to an attack would simply be playing into the predator's hands.
DeleteThe truth is that if you are going to go for the balls, you have to seriously go for the balls - setting a limit could prove to be a fatal mistake.
Also, these moves have to be practised if you're to stand any chance of making them work. The practice needs to be as realistic as possible. Being squeamish could be a serious drawback.
Finally, it's not your fault that the male anatomy includes such a vulnerability.
There's the story of the woman who goes to the dentist. From the chair she reaches out and takes a hold of the dentist's balls.
"Now we're not going to hurt one another, are we?" She says.
It sums up self defence philosophy quite well don't you think?
I've no doubt you would love to murder some of your posters on your blog Wendy. That's the real Wendy talking there.. You may or may not know that ice doesn't do all that much for a man that is on the receiving end of a hard groin kick/crush, etc. But I doubt that the efficacy of ice was a major concern. I bet you were soaked when you asked me how painful it was (or whatever words you actually used, if any). You would have thought he would vomit after being kissed by you- especially in those circumstances.
DeleteWell, you'll need to be awfully, awfully fast and be able to get close enough to me to execute those techniques, because I'm going to ventilate you with a dozen 9mm holes while you're trying... :O)
DeletePeople who take joy in other people's pain are sadists Wendy. It is troubling that you have the values and beliefs you do. I am confident that you have the skills to do permanent damage to a man's genitals -it seems to be the focus of your life. This person that volunteered to help with your self-defense course, I truly wonder how he felt about the prudence of that decision while lying on the floor or wherever in extreme pain. Having the woman responsible for intentionally doing that apply ice and ask him to describe the pain (or whatever was actually said) seems like something out of a psychological thriller movie - not too thrilling for that young guy I wouldn't think though.
DeletePrepare yourself for this Wendy... I understand and acknowledge that knowing the techniques you practiced in fact turned out to be very effective, and would - IF the desperate situation came to that, be very effective. I don't fault you for wanting to know that. Better write this one down... we actually agree on one thing.
Delete""" I've been following your "debate" and really don't understand where your detractors are coming from. Placing limits on your response to an attack would simply be playing into the predator's hands.

Thank you so much for this great comment. I could not formulate it better. All those commenters should read it like ten times. This is simply the summary, the end of the discussion. But I worry they simply don't want to understand. Yes, I know the joke about the dentist balls as well :) Thanks again.
Well, next time you're at the dentist, why don't you try that out on the male dentist and let us all know how you make out?
DeleteWhat exactly don't 'they' want to understand Wendy? You're not the most articulate individual, after all.
You must be the most funniest person at every party!!!
Delete"""Well, you'll need to be awfully, awfully fast and be able to get close enough to me to execute those techniques, because I'm going to ventilate you with a dozen 9mm holes while you're trying... :O)"""
DeleteAaaa, we have a visit from some proud Nord American who carries a gun even to a bathroom or maybe even to a bed? just to "ventilate" his horrible anxiety that a woman might kicked him in the testicles.
Now Wendy, here you go again making statements for which you cannot support. I heard (on another blog, by a woman that claims to know you in person) that you have a criminal record for assault, is that true?
DeleteTell me, when you are at parties, do you restrict your jokes to those made at the expense of men, or do you practice a more mature approach to getting attention?
And no, Wendy, I don't have anxiety of getting kicked - anywhere. I don't assault women -in any form or any way. IF I WAS assaulted by a women, it would be without any reasonable justification whatsoever, and I would take very, very forthright action to defend myself. Again, in the spirit of equality, and honoring the principles you espouse on this blog, I would be entirely within my rights to shoot her point blank, center mass, in order to ensure the threat was neutralized. I may elect to use other techniques, some of which you encourage here, but that is very much at my choosing.
Do you walk the streets thinking that the next man you pass is going to assault you? Perhaps so, and if that's the case, I feel sorry for you. I don't life my life like that, but feel free if you wish to. Regardless of what you think, even in Bananaville, it's highly unlikely that many of the actions you promote would withstand any kind of legal proceeding. You can talk all the fire and brimstone you like on your blog. Talk is cheap, and when facing serious consequences for unwarranted and unjustified actions against another in self-defense (woman OR man), most will find that advice on blogs like this presented by people like you aren't worth much as a credible defense strategy.
Will you please provide my with a link to that blog/forum you are referring to? Somebody either impersonates me or there is a misunderstanding. No I do not have a criminal record and I do not support unjustified violence. No men would admit such an anxiety you do not have to explain yourself. Be careful with your gun boy, it is not a toy. We have a good reason here in Europe to forbid carrying firearms by immature individuals like you.
DeleteIt looks like some readers of this blog are getting much closer to finding out who the real Wendy is... what do you think about that?
Delete'Yes, while he was writhing in pain I fetched an ice pack and (gently!) put it on the right spot to ease the suffering. Then I put my arm around him and kissed him on his cheek. Is it really so painful? I asked him...'
DeleteWere you surprised that he didn't retch and convulse, then turn towards you and vomit in your face? Given what you did to him, could you really blame him if he did?
You must have really hated Bob. It seems you went out of your way to have a lot more 'accidents' with him than Peter, and took sadistic, creepy pleasure sitting next to him while he was in severe pain, almost taunting him. That's just nauseating and disgusting behaviour, Christ. Like a person watching an insect in its death throes after that person steps on it intentionally. What a gross, disgusting thing you are Wendy.
DeleteAs you correctly guessed I had a lot of interaction with Bob, sometimes accidentally, sometimes because I liked him a lot and I liked to spar with him so I chose him when there was a chance. Well according to you, I was supposed to keep a 10-meter distance, not talk to him, not touch him, keep a straight face all the time... You are a very honorable and precious thing, not like me, alas... Wendy
DeleteThat course you did sounds like so much fun! Did you find that after a bit of practice your aim and your timing improved so much that landing an effective strike became second nature? Is Linda still running these sessions?
ReplyDeleteYes we had some fun :), although Linda tried to keep a very professional and constructive atmosphere. We practiced a lot and sometimes I refresh my skills. I am absolutely confident I can land this kick perfectly when needed. Any pervert would deeply regret trying something on with me.
DeleteActually, I have been in touch with Linda recently. She is still running the course and I will post an interview with her soon.
This kick works really well when you're wearing pointy-toed shoes or boots. If you curl your toes as the kick goes in, and aim just behind the testicles, you should drop him easily.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. The tip of the shoe penetrates more easily between thighs and nicely hook the back of the testicles before jerking them outwards. It is a real killer move and does not require much of the strength.
DeleteDo you think he would be unconscious then so the woman could then castrate him, blind him, or slit his throat Wendy?
DeleteCheers,
Andrea
Dear Andrea,
DeleteNo it is unlikely the scoop kick alone would cause him to pass out.
Wendy
This isn't Andrea, I have a follow up question. If an attacker was knocked unconscious, would you still support "castrating, blinding, or throat slitting."
DeleteHi, no if the attacker is unconscious (and you are sure about that) you should leave the scene. There is no benefit in causing more harm than necessary. However, you have to be aware that the techniques I describe here can easily lead to the attacker's castration, but you should not worry about his testicles at all but your safety. Regards, Wendy
DeleteWhen a man have an erection ball sack could became hard and small, so there is hardly to make a scoop kick on the balls. But erected penis became easy target.
ReplyDeleteSo could be a scoop kick effective on the penis glans? What do you think about it?
Hi, thanks for the question. You are right during an erection the ballsack usually becomes tight and close to the body. It is then much more difficult to use a scoop kick as the jerking motion is limited. A tight scrotum should be best kicked with an upward toe kick, this can easily cause a testicle to rupture. A penis whether erected or flaccid is generally not a very good target for kicking. What can work is a forward trust kick either with your foot or ball of your feet or the knee in this case in front-to-back movement. This can snap the penis and cause him penile fracture which is very painful I wrote about it in another post. The exposed glans penis is a very sensitive spot and I will in the future mention many techniques how to effectively injure it. Have a nice day, Wendy
DeleteThank you for your answer. Can you explain more detail what means knee front-to-back movement? Have you ever a practice this type of kick ?
DeleteHi, I try to explain. A normal knee to the testicles utilizes upward movement from the bottom up to crush the testicles against his body. The knee to the penis uses rather forward trusting force. It is like you would like to push him away with your knee. So as you go up with your knee you make at the same time a quick move forward. This generates a bending force on the erect penis and it snaps. But generally kneeing testicles is a better and more safe option. Yes, we trained these types of knees, Bob and Peter had a strap on to simulate a penis. It was a lot of fun :) Hope I clarified the thing. Wendy
DeleteResearch here shows this scoop kick its incredibly effective on flat and high heel sandals. despite what one may think the results shows the best of both worlds. the leather of the sandal allows the kick to pierce deep on the testicles and the woman foot provide provide a wide enough surface of strking to trap the balls.
ReplyDeleteA guy with well build testicle pain tolerance ended up being floored every single kick from a woman at most was going only 50%.
So to end woman on sandals usually choose instep to kick, but on truth the leather of the sandal can be used effectively as a weapon
Hi André, you are absolutely right, sandals are very suitable for scoop kicking. Sandals allow the toes to be bent and to form a 'scoop', also the leather is quite a good striking area. In the community, there is a lot of misconception and arguing about which is the best striking area for a kick some claim shin, some toes some instep etc. I will make a post about it. Regards, Wendy
Deletehi Wendy for you is always toes. Although the scoop kick requires you distract him, when you get it done its a total 100% fight ender.
DeleteAlthough the discussion is gigantic. Instep its better for reliable kick on a fight. You dont need to be that accurate.
So this its a phylosophy debate, because if you attacked you can decieve or you can fight the guy, but hardly both. And if your trick fail, you will be in an awful position to start fighting (like he mounting you).
So the debate its for self defense. We teach woman to be sneaky or we teach them to be strong? Also what is more empowering be able to beat a guy with a gun by a surprise testicle attack or be strong enough to beat a guy with fair fight rules.? Even the body types. The stronger the woman looks the less likely will be attacked but the weaker she looks the easiest will be to decieve the guy.
I personally think Linda's concept it can be massified to woman that dont have the time to seriously train martial arts.
Btw how Linda prefer to fight?
Is her first instint to try decieve him?
Or just go straight for point and try to kick his balls on a straight up fight.
That scoop kick is an interesting technique! I did taekwondo for many years, and this variation seems to be unknown there: I've only practiced the common instep nut kick, the one the karate guys call kin-geri. (Unfortunately there's no such cool special name for it in tkd!)
ReplyDeleteI catch the idea of the scoop kick, hitting the testicles mainly from their vulnerable back side, but I am still a bit skeptical whether this is really more effective than the crushing kin-geri (which, according to my tkd coach, may even drive the nuts into the abdomen - ouch!) Perhaps I should simply give it a (careful!) try, but do I dare? ;-) Cheers, Max
Hi Max, thanks for your comment. Yes, a classical instep front kick is still quite effective, but it requires enough power to penetrate deep between the attacker's thighs. Also, the position of an attacker could be too close for a front kick but too far away for a knee strike. Testicles can be guarded by a sizable penis and if he hangs low the testicles can slip away from the impact zone. A scoop kick overcomes these obstacles and does not require too much power in the legs to generate great pain. It is especially effective if he wears thin shorts or he is naked. So be careful with trying! :) Regards, Wendy
DeleteHi max. Sorry again wendy for insert myself on conversation
DeleteAs a guy the emotion that flow after losing because a kick in the nuts and the powerlessness it happens when you realize it will be an accurate blow on the testicles can be more a trauma than the kick itself.
But because of all that, there is a ton of empowerment for you to take.
If you have the luck of a willing partner then i would recommend you to slowly taste the whole secuence, watch how he reacts when your foot gets direct on his testicles, his scare, especially if you do a mock kick.
Try to enjoy the moment he realize he would 100% lose if you land that kick on him, how vulnerable is he in that moment.
You can gain tons of empowerment without even hurting him.
Hi Wendy, thanks again for an instructive reply! Maybe my whole question whether the scoop kick is "more effective" was wrong from the outset: what is more effective depends on factors like distance, space between the bad guy's thighs, tightness of his scrotum... (Likewise there is probably not a single optimal grabbing technique!)
DeleteHere comes one suggestion for a further entry in your blog's "kick" section, another very useful kick I remember from my tkd lessons: the backward heel kick ("dwit-chagi" in Korean), which can hit the testicles even from a very close distance, ideally catching the bad guy unprepared. Regards, Max
Hi André, thanks for your reply! As a guy I'm familiar with the effectiveness of testicular attacks in general, but I never received a scoop kick, and so I wonder how painful it is as compared to the "kin-geri" instep kick.
DeleteTherefore, instead of finding a guy who lets me practice the kick on his balls I should rather find a trustworthy training partner who carefully kicks me.
But maybe you have some experience and can tell me what getting your nuts scoop-kicked feels like? Cheers, Max
Hi max its incredibly more effective, i saw a totally untrained woman on flat sandals sending a guy (who has a high testicle pain tolerance) to the floor over and over, consistently and she was at most kicking 50%. (wendy censor me if not appropiate) I even saw a little girl like 5 years old leaving a guy on the floor like long time with this kick totally out of combat.
DeleteThe problem its you need to distract the guy since the kick comes from a very specific angle.
I have experience being the guy at the end of a groin kick. This its the hard part. You can lose to a totally untrained weak as hell woman if she kick you in the balls. For a probably strong trained guy as yourself that may be psychologically hard to overcome, although the same sensation may be interesting for you to explore. Accepting that reality will help you to find that woman training partner since you will be offering sincere empowerment.
Hi André, thanks again for that interesting reply! It's amazing that the scoop kick is that effective - hitting the testicles from the optimal angle seems to be more important than the sheer power of the kick. Being a curious guy, I will surely give it a careful(!) try!
DeleteAnother question: why isn't this kick better known? As mentioned above, I trained tkd for many years, an art famous for its wide repertoire of kicks, but I never heard about the scoop kick there. Where did you learn that kick? Cheers, Max
Because its useless on combat. You need to distract your oponent first. Also it made it easy for the oponent to grab your leg. Its even useless on self defense, because its not a fast kick you cant just react and go for it.
DeleteWendy doesnt care for all this because she specifically train to distract and methods to catch off guard her attacker.
And on that line the kick its a complete fight ender. Most weapons are completely useless after a guy recieve that kick. Also its armor piercing so the kick will go deep through pants and even some cups.
Thanks for your answer, and sorry for the delay, André! I see your point, although traditional martial arts teach a lot of cool-looking impractical techniques (e.g. spectacular jumping kicks in tkd). So nothing would be wrong with teaching the scoop kick as well - if not for the fact that many (male) martial artists and instructors disdain testicular attacks. Cheers, Max
DeleteWell, yeah, with all his limitations this kick is amazing when pulled off.
DeleteMore than disdain i would say fear. Even a traditional ball of foot kick. Woman could be taugh to direct it specifically to the testicles. At most would take a couple of hours and a woman would have a chance to beat a guy twice her size.
And Wendy's combat style? Got banned because its too powerful.
Max, I’ve practiced karate & tkd for years and the kin-geri was always the go to kick. It works if done accurately and always inflict severe pain, which is obviously the point. But a scoop kick to the back of the nuts is by far the most painful hit I’ve ever experienced. My training partner and I practice this technique on each other and occasionally we’ll allow the other to go full 50% force on a kick. Trust me, it’s much more painful than a typical kick to the balls, and I can’t even imagine how excruciating a full on kick would be. Hope I never take one myself, but I also hope to administer one myself someday.
DeleteHi Mr "Anonymus", thank you very much for your reply! Training the scoop kick for real sounds pretty tough. Probably too tough for me to do it on a regular basis, but as I mentioned above, I'm curious to know how that kick feels like. Maybe you have some hints or advice for me?
DeleteAnother question: you say that the scoop kick is way more painful than kin-geri - does it simply hurt *more*, or is it a somewhat different kind of pain? Just so that I know what to expect ;-) Cheers, Max
Hi Wendy.. i found video a profesional female taekwondo have explain scoop kick to the organ, but the problem is scoop kick or what ever kick technique is very difficult because the distant for the leg travel to the attacker groin is quite far and have chance to miss the testicle. kick has to be very accurate and know exacly where the attacker testicle is locate.. another one i read is aim for single testicle to kick.. it add more difficult to women i think.. ^^ perhaps using hand to trap it or using molars to crush more better chance from fellatio. but anyway scoop kick is clean.. women perform this will not get her mouth or hand dirty..
ReplyDeleteHi thank you for your comment. You are right kicking is suitable when there is a right distance between the woman and an attacker. In close proximity kneeing or hand, techniques are preferred. It is important to practice kicking and correct aiming. Usually, there is no time to be so precise to get one testicle, it is possible if using toe kicking but again has to be practiced to understand the position of the target in different situations. You are also right that kicking might be less repulsive for us as we do not have to touch the attacker's genitals. Bitting the testicle is a vital option and I will write a post about it. Regards, Wendy
DeleteGreat Wendy. ^^ we wait your new article.
DeleteCould this kick be used on a guy with a cup? I'm curious if the kick would be able to catch the back edge of a cup and drag it forward over the testicles
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for the question. Yes, scoop kicking can circumvent the protectiveness of a cup. A cup normally protects the package mainly from frontal hits but scooping still can cause great pain from jerking. Moreover, the edge can indeed be dislocated and compress the testicles further. They can get trapped under the edge. When out of place any additional forward kick will then cause the cup to 'pancake' the testicles and injure them significantly. I will write about cups in some of my future posts. Regards, Wendy
DeleteThe worst hit I ever took was because I was wearing a cup. I was in a karate tournament in HS, went for a high roundhouse kick with my left leg and my opponent delivered a thrust kick up into my groin. My cup had slid down a bit as I was kicking and trapped my right testicle just as his kick landed, crushing my nut between my thigh and the spongy part of the cup. It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt and I was probably down for 10 minutes. I was sure my testicle was ruined but it was fine after a while. Still, extremely painful and I’ll take me chances without a cup from now on.
DeleteThanks for the help! I saw this article a few years ago and finally got a chance to try it out last week. I was as the community pool and some bigger “tough” guy shoved me for no reason (I’m not a big guy so he probably didn’t expect me to fight back.)
ReplyDeleteInstead I gave him a snapkick right into his balls, my toes crushing the rear of his testicles just like your diagram. (This dude was wearing a swimsuit so not much protection but that also let me feel my target perfectly!) He dropped to the ground immediately, screaming, then his legs were kicking around and spazzing like he was trying to escape the pain. That didn’t last long as the pain got more intense (I’ve been hit there many times and the pain increases until after about 30 seconds) and he came to a stop of just clutching himself in agony on the ground, with tears in his eyes. I was kinda in awe and stuck around a few minutes just to watch, I heard later on he wasn’t able to stand up for nearly 10 minutes!
I really appreciated that you were able to test this technique on someone.
DeleteIt must be exciting to see the effectiveness of the blow, especially barefoot, and to see your opponent paralyzed with pain.
