a female self-defense trainer, she has a faculty position at the Faculty of
Physical Education and besides teaching several courses, and coaching a women’s
football team, she also does cutting-edge research in the relatively new but also
controversial field of experimental female self-defense. I have been always
intrigued and wanted to learn more and make a blog post about it. When I
contacted her recently, Linda told me that unfortunately she is going through
some medical treatment soon, and the best would be to interview Tina, a
recently graduated Ph.D. student in her group, whom I already briefly met once
when I was interviewing Linda. I thought it was an excellent idea, so I immediately
wrote her an email and arranged a meeting. I was very excited when I met her in
her office at the university. She offered me a cup of coffee, I made myself
comfortable in an armchair and looked around. Her office looked like a typical
working place of a busy young academic; shelves were filled with various books,
and on the walls were hanging pictures from meetings and conferences as well as
snapshots of training sessions and successful experiments and some medical
posters and art. On her desk, she had the most special piece, a detailed
plastic anatomy model of male genitals in real size.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

knowledgeable young female scientist. Tina is very passionate about her work,
and I especially appreciate her openness and transparency about some sensitive
topics. The interview with her was an eye-opening experience, and I am sure you
will enjoy it as well.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Thank you very much Tina for agreeing to this interview,
I think what you and Linda do is quite fascinating but a bit shrouded in
mystery. Can you tell us a bit about your research field? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The field I and Linda work in is now called experimental gyneaftoamynology
from the Greek words <i>gynaíka </i>- female and <i>aftoámyna</i> - self-defense as
a newly established branch of physical education. Its primary aim is to make
female self-defense systems most effective through empirical investigations. It
means that instead of relying on some anecdotal evidence or unproven theories
and assumptions, we put the theories to the test. It is a multidisciplinary discipline,
and it combines different aspects from human anatomy and physiology, to psychology,
and physical education. <b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Interesting, so what does your workday look like?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Like all scientists, I am busy from early morning to late
afternoon. Basically, I run on coffee… there is always a lot of new literature to
read, then I am often occupied with writing manuscripts and reports, filing, and
submitting applications for grants and ethics commission approvals, recruiting
test subjects, planning, and then, of course doing the experiments…this is what
I and Linda like the most. But nothing is easy, and it requires a great amount
of commitment and hard work. In the end, it is always so rewarding to get the hard-earned
results. Sometimes we must go down the rabbit hole with unexpected outcomes
popping up…can be quite thrilling.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What attracted you to this research field and how you made
up your decision to do a PhD? </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Initially, I wanted to become a high school physical
education teacher. In the second year of my study, I was so amazed by Linda’s
lectures. She was talking about things I had never heard before, I realized
that this is the research that saves lives but hardly makes headlines. As an
undergraduate student, I learned about two cases of a sex attack on campus. One
sadly ended in rape, and the other one failed as the girl, trained in Karate successfully
defended herself. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ‘poor’ attacker
was left with multiple serious injuries including a ruptured testicle after a well-executed
Kin Geri. I too was harassed during my first year by a guy and did not know how
to properly react. I realized the outcome of a sex attack does not need to be
predetermined; a girl can win if she is provided with the right knowledge and
skills. To help to drive a paradigm shift in society I embarked on a mission to
help Linda use science to equip women with the best knowledge and tools to
accomplish their safety in this dangerous world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What do you think about Linda? How is it to work with her?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I admire her a lot, she is an outstanding scholar, a great
supervisor, and a role model for the generation of young female scientists like
me. She is a fountain of unconventional ideas. You probably know her, a little
bit special personality from the course, she is strict and very demanding but
also focused and goal-oriented. One might argue that she occasionally crosses
the line or maybe she is too uncompromised when it comes to male test subjects,
but it is necessary to reach the desired goal. Not only is the research topic
difficult, but she also must cope with many criticisms and obstacles. It is
commendable how she can materialize her real-life experience including the time
she worked for the SIREN program and that she is not afraid of directly,
without any euphemisms to address any awkward topics. She can talk nonchalantly
about the details of testicular injuries and eye gouging the same way as about
gardening and cake cooking…squeamishness is definitely not in her dictionary. But
I guess you know that from the course (Tina was smiling).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>You recently defended your doctoral thesis. What is the
title and topic?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My thesis has the title <i>Evaluating physical last resort
strategies to prevent rape</i>. It covers a thorough investigation and
evaluation of the techniques and finding the best strategies for incapacitation
the attacker and enabling the victim to flee. We evaluated the effectiveness in
targeting all vulnerable points on the male body: eyes, Adam's apple, penis,
and testicles. To some extent, I investigated almost all of them, but I mainly
focused on my and Linda’s favorite, testicles. As you know there has always been
a lot of controversy surrounding these sensitive male organs. You can hear so
many conflicting arguments and different pieces of advice, so we wanted to
settle this debate once and for all. We wanted to address issues such as: How
incapacitating it is, which techniques should be used to a level a woman can
cause an injury, and even what is the best method to apply the most secure
grasp even when the man has pants on. Now, we can confidently claim, that the
success of targeting testicles is much higher than previously admitted, we have
solid proof and evidence it simply works in many different situations and is highly
incapacitating. I hope with our outcomes we put the long-standing debate to an
end. However, we found out that, to achieve success, women must be taught these
things properly without any reservation, and they must practice regularly as
the automatic, correct, and right-moment execution of the techniques is crucial.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How did you find out? Can you tell us about your
experiments? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Well, there were many, but I can tell you about one very
interesting experiment in which we had two groups of female students. The
control group was not taught any physical techniques, and the other test group was
provided with detailed comprehensive information on the male anatomy and the
vulnerable points of the male body, and how to injure those. Pretty much they
were taught the same things as you were in the course. They could even practice
some techniques on silicone testicles (We will talk about it later). <b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

man attacking her. The first group's success rate was app. 20%, quite low in
comparison to the second group for which the success rate went through the roof,
reaching 70%. It was hilarious to see all those young guys on the floor
clutching their anguished groins. We even had some medical emergencies, but
luckily no permanent injuries, just some bruising and swelling of the scrotums.
Sometimes we even had to step in to stop overenthusiastic women in their rage
to prevent harm to male subjects. We calculated we could reduce the incidence
the rape by at least half if we properly teach young women these techniques. This
shows the barriers are not that difficult to break, we just need to find a
better way how to empower women instead of saying: You are weak sex, live with
it…and all that bullshit…excuse my language. It was amazing to see the ladies
leaving the room with great confidence, evidently empowered, bragging about
their new skills and ‘injuries’ they were able to cause on male organs when
chatting with the other group…and the knowledge of newly gained power was
transferred. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>That’s quite fascinating. Any other experiment?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Part of my thesis was to find the best way to attack testicles
with a hand in different situations on clothed or naked attackers. A serious
issue, but I cannot recall having other times such great fun. We had two guys,
with distinct types of scrotum: tight and loose. They exchanged different
underwear and pants and of course, at some point, they had to undress completely.
We had to cope with frequent unwanted erections, faints, intermittent screams, importantly
also ‘Eureka’ moments. One female participant satisfied she finally managed to
apply a secured lock on a tight scrotum, exclaimed: ‘Now is the time to test
the best method for testicular rupture!’ The other girls around laughed, and
the poor boys cringed. Well, it could be an interesting activity, but we cannot
afford to put their delicate reproductive organs at such risk. Sometimes, the screams
combined with loud laughter from our lab can be heard in the hallways, and we
have people knocking on the door, being horrified, and asking what’s going on…Well,
that’s the price of doing such innovative research. Now Linda can go to the course
and teach you confidently what should you do when a filthy scrotum appears
close to your hand. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b></b></p><b>I would expect it to be difficult to get volunteers for
your experiments, isn’t it? How do you attract them?<o:p></o:p></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recruit both female and male test subjects among faculty
students; male subjects are usually semi-professional athletes. We prefer young
fit men, with a good physique. It is telling to see their strength is in vain
when applying the right techniques to the core of their masculinity. Before
admission, they have to go through a rigorous selection process and we do not
accept everybody. We look at the size and type of their pressure points
including their genitals to account for as many variables as possible. <o:p></o:p></p>

Muscular physique and <br />types of their genitals are some of them. </td></tr></tbody></table>And what does attract them? Surprisingly, there is no
shortage of volunteers. Linda made several funny recruitment ads (Tina pointed
at the posters on the wall with interesting graphics and text ‘We need your
balls’), but I don’t think this is the reason. The motivations of the
participants are diverse and differ between males and females. They usually get
some ECTS points for volunteering and some small monetary compensation. I think
many of them come out of curiosity and sometimes guys make a bet with their pals, or they are convinced it is just
a prank and at the end, they are often unpleasantly surprised. The shock often
comes the moment we ask them to expose themselves for genital evaluation. But
that’s the game we play. They must sign a waiver and we brief them about what
kind of participation we expect. Surprisingly many come back and want to
participate again, even without any reward. Female participants often in the
final questionnaire account for how empowering experience it was to participate
in the project, and whether there is an opportunity to help more.
Interestingly, since we started our research, we noticed fewer rape attempts
reported here than other faculties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is the most difficult part of doing the experiments?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sometimes the experimental part is very demanding and not a
piece of cake for the experimenter as well as a female, or male participant. First,
we must break common barriers such as squeamishness, prudence, and shyness but
we also must consider safety. The experimental setup inevitably involves handling
bare genitals and causing pain, which can't be avoided. We often must repeat an
experiment several times, even if we see the male subject cannot take it
anymore. Simply we need enough repetitions to make a solid statistical conclusion.
But how else would you answer the question of whether a particular technique is
effective or not, without actually performing it in real? Some interesting
questions were posted by your blog readers, regarding for instance the type of
testicles and different situations that need to be investigated. But we always
weigh the benefits and possible risks. Nevertheless, I admit some experiments can
be fun and bring a lot of satisfaction in case of positive outcomes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I heard from Linda about one unfortunate experiment when
a volunteer ended up in the hospital can you tell us more about it? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So-called freezing is often considered a common problem in
female self-defense. We wanted to investigate this phenomenon closely, so we
simulated an unexpected hyperrealistic attack on me. I did not know when and
where it was going to happen. One of our volunteers Mike, played out an attacker
in the dark parking lot when I was leaving the campus. Maybe because I undertook
training I did not freeze and reacted the best I could. A sharp elbow rear jab
and a swift back kick with my heel did the ‘intended job’. The ‘attacker’ unfortunately…well if in real life fortunately…ended up in hospital with a broken rib and
contusion in his left testicle. He recovered through but did not want to participate
in our research anymore, which was a pity. I liked Mike a lot, he was a very useful
male test subject.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>I admit it was enjoyable when we trained with Bob and Peter. However, many women cannot train male partners. What is for example the best simulant of testicles or eyes? You already mentioned the silicone model...<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Training self-defense and proper targeting of vulnerable points such as testicles or eyes is undoubtedly difficult. Of course, a real set of testicles is the best, but not always available so some realistic models help. In a small project, we tested different everyday objects and compared them to testicles, on all parameters including the texture and pressure necessary to cause rupture. We can recommend lemons and limes. These fruits are readily available in all grocery stores and when squeezing all the juice out, is a good exercise for gaining finger strength… of course, they are also a great source of vitamins as well. Plums and small apricots are also suitable analogs because of their right texture, shape, and size. As for the eyes, the gooseberries are excellent but sometimes hard to get. We sought to develop something more durable and nondisposable so we recently collaborated with a urologist from a nearby clinic Dr. Lane, and developed a prototype of a very true-to-life durable simulant of male genitals for some hardcore training. She provided us with critical parameters and valuable advice on anatomy and variables. No one knows better male genitals than someone handling them every day (Tina reached for the peculiar object and handed it to me for inspection. It was indeed almost like the real piece).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXg13w8pdYhyphenhyphenWt-NIk_djDLHnMTvaLygKdT8HHa8ITTCvDOhXlgdo6aEnvEqKXk394zxB_rKenNtmj1MDm1TY0wTl1JZWa17ZYN5H9WLa3OPrs3xv4sRd7xxIsxdar_jaaApay7BmKElgMxXsEwcjYtwqOk93nUdMtMc88yawIQkFtYVZeYpnZyWMUe0A/s1588/model%20scrotum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1058" data-original-width="1588" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXg13w8pdYhyphenhyphenWt-NIk_djDLHnMTvaLygKdT8HHa8ITTCvDOhXlgdo6aEnvEqKXk394zxB_rKenNtmj1MDm1TY0wTl1JZWa17ZYN5H9WLa3OPrs3xv4sRd7xxIsxdar_jaaApay7BmKElgMxXsEwcjYtwqOk93nUdMtMc88yawIQkFtYVZeYpnZyWMUe0A/w311-h207/model%20scrotum.jpg" width="311" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Realistic silicone models are being developed <br />for female self-defense training.</td></tr></tbody></table>This thing is made from high-quality durable silicone and contains hard rubber testes with the same resistance as real glands with detailed plumbing attached including epididymis and spermatic cord. No death pinch will ever fail! With this strap, it can be easily fastened to common leather-kicking dummies and is perfectly sanitizable so can be used for training biting techniques as well. Linda has a pair of these and is going to use them in her course. We contacted some silicone molding companies for mass production, but all showed no interest, luckily, we found one with a female CEO who was very enthusiastic and wanted to help even without any financial profit, so I hope we can get it on the market soon.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I guess you need some ethics approval and what about
funding such research?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s right, we have to apply for the ethics commission approvals,
and it is always a pain in the ass. In the last couple of years, we have been
lucky because of our female dean, who has been very supportive of our cause and
not afraid to accommodate controversial research topics and ideas at the
faculty. She clearly understands the significance and impact of the field and
that the path to the results is challenging and not well-trodden. Without her,
I have a doubt we could continue our work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not only ethics approvals, but it is also extremely
difficult to get sufficient funding because of the contentious and neglected
topic. We regularly receive a lot of harsh criticism, mainly from male
management and application reviewers. We even get a type of response: Why does
she need funding, all she does is squeeze testicles all day long, what kind of
research is that? Damn, how ignorant! (Tina was visibly upset)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I heard you also gather and evaluate the data from real-life

medical and police reports are a very valuable source of data. We gather and review
those and critically evaluate and statistically process all cases, both successful
and unsuccessful. We also perform interviews with women with experience in such
situations. It is interesting how many success cases go unnoticed by the press and
media, which is a pity. Dr. Lane provided us with some valuable data from the emergency
cases she encountered while working at the urology ER. I have seen pictures of
attackers' genitals significantly ‘modified’ as a result of a successful counterattack.
Not for the fainthearted, but quite telling. I did not know a scrotum could
swell to the size of an orange. Dr. Lane said the best rapist deterrent would
be to post them everywhere. <o:p></o:p></p>

brutal and effective but at the same time very exciting to explore. I also have
ideas about some unconventional methods for distraction and deception, which we
can develop and evaluate on volunteers. But it all depends on the funding and whether
we continue to receive positive support from our dean. <o:p></o:p></p>

Linda surprised us at the end of the class with an unusual announcement. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Next class we are going to have a party, so come adequately dressed.

afternoon before the class, standing in front of my wardrobe I got into total
panic mode. I was a university student living on a budget, so my closets were not
overfilled with the latest fashion pieces. I did not go often clubbing or to
parties and by no means I am a show-off person. I spent my spare money on casual
clothes I could wear on different occasions, classes, exams, and visits to my
family. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Damn it, it is what it is!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I grabbed my wine high school prom midi dress, beige high heels sandals,
and a small purse I got from my mom. What a relief it was that the dress still fitted
almost perfectly. I put my hair in a low bun and put on make-up, rather modest.
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Should do just fine!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I assessed my look in the mirror. It
is going to be a self-defense lesson after all not a fashion show. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When I
entered the dojo, I was greeted by loud chatter, careless laughs, and the smell
of perfume and some oldies music, all indicating a real party was already going
on. Linda, most of my classmates and Bob and Peter were already in. It was amazing
how other girls dealt with Linda’s unusual request. One could see all types of dresses, some more casual
outfits such as a white shirt and jeans worn by Rebecca to some creative high-end pieces
such as Louise's chic sequin bodycon dress. Bob and Peter just wore some fancy slim-fit
T-shirts and jeans and sneakers. But still, they looked cool, their fit bodies
were always their prime peacock plumage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Linda waved
at me and offered me a drink. Non-alcoholic of course. She looked completely different in a one-piece
pantsuit with a floral pattern. That strict athletic trainer we used to know, now became a glamorous party enchantress. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The mood
was great but unfortunately, the fun did not last long. Linda suddenly interrupted
our excited banter, turned off the music, and announced that it was time to
start the class. She finally revealed why all of this. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

to come dressed like this. I want you to be prepared for all possible situations
and most likely you won't be attacked when in sneakers and gym sweatpants. Statistics
show that many sex attacks occur during parties, celebrations, team building, and
other social gatherings when inappropriate sex behavior and sex attacks are driven
by alcohol, flamboyant atmosphere, and revealing dresses. Importantly, always remember
you can turn parts of your outfit into very useful self-defense assets. No need
to carry any cumbersome and conspicuous self-dense tools, that are hard to fit
in a small purse. This is the reason we are having such an unusual class today.

Peter to come closer so she could show us all the possibilities for the male body's

he is close to me and already touching me without my permission and making some
unwanted sexual advances. So, I take off one of my shoes. It is important to
hold it like this, very firmly. I can now poke him in the eyes or hit him in the
temple, and once he is now covering the injured parts on his face and being distracted,
I can go downwards, and with a sharp circular motion I hook the scrotum sack,
well behind like this and pull sharply outwards, like you wanted to completely remove
that pendent part of his body.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> We sighed as she, totally insensibly
to the scared expression on Peter’s face, demonstrated the move, not forcefully
but informatively. We all cringed as Peter's bulge protruded because of being
hooked by Linda’s new fashion weapon of mass destruction. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Linda explained
further. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This move is effective even if has his

because realizing he was not going to get away from such a type of detailed and
realistic demonstration. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With the shoe still on my foot, I can
kick, stomp on his instep, or rake his shin.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

up swiftly her leg and the stiletto gently lifted one side of Peter’s package. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When done with force and precisely, testicle destruction is inevitable,</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Linda added.

the moves Linda was showing are to be devastating. Peter's expressions showed he would not either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

toward Peter. Peter, obviously not that willingly, unfastened his belt and
pulled down his pants and boxers. Not the first time we got a full sight of his
willy and hairy young man’s low hangers, but some blushing was unavoidable.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e4LUSDGo_b3hRkxwO7IwmiNA8MLVLvyDWEONq8HhDjtc_8xfhhyjs-2nbi55dhkyol-wCk6R2P6BDabt24nDs6F9UmaNPwpB4xHKy3sRtMvhZtLxvwULR3shMixETocMEPZna5yzE9RdhQWREnyRLJxtrXffybqlA-owhE-0MVbR-TL9a1LewLvqLQ0/s6323/stilleto.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6323" data-original-width="6148" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6e4LUSDGo_b3hRkxwO7IwmiNA8MLVLvyDWEONq8HhDjtc_8xfhhyjs-2nbi55dhkyol-wCk6R2P6BDabt24nDs6F9UmaNPwpB4xHKy3sRtMvhZtLxvwULR3shMixETocMEPZna5yzE9RdhQWREnyRLJxtrXffybqlA-owhE-0MVbR-TL9a1LewLvqLQ0/w335-h345/stilleto.png" width="335" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hook the testicles well in the groove <br />in the back of his scrotum and pull sharply outwards. </td></tr></tbody></table></span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">So now we have a situation where the

and the scrotum was tugged upwards and away from his body. Poor Peter got lifted on his feet and moved
forward to ease the pull. The two hairy oval organs jutted out and the penis got
pushed to the side. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We wanted to be sympathetic and professional but some of us could not resist chuckling a bit.

feeling there was nothing more controversial than when I wrote that during the
course Linda allowed us to test our freshly obtained self defense skills on Bob
and Peter not wearing any protection, leading to an unfortunate accident when my
knee ‘met’ Bob’s testicles in a quite unpleasant way. Linda sought to provide
us with the unique possibility of getting as much realism in our training as
possible, which is simply impossible with heavy groin guards and padding. It wasn't
a piece of cake for either of us, but luckily nobody sustained any real injury,
although sometimes it was a close call. I would say it was a miracle, given the
seriousness and brutality techniques we learned and the ferocity with which we
tested them on the two boys. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Looking
back this was the Lindas course's added value and the uniqueness of her
approach greatly helped us build our confidence and empowerment. Exploring the male
body and its weaknesses on our own and ‘learning by doing</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">’</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> was part of Linda’s pedagogical philosophy which made the course very
special and effective (unfortunately also controversial). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

training endeavor was approaching the end, we became increasingly proficient in
whole action sequences, not only knowing how to attack testicles properly even

gave the boys instruction to realistically play out a vicious attack on each of
us that would come in surprise; we did not know when and where this try-out
would happen. Bob and Peter were told not to hold back and act like real attackers
and we were supposed, not to pull any punches in our response. This was the occasion
to show our mastered reflexes, our situational awareness, our ability to
unleash what’s inside us, what we have learned, and whether we can use it when
needed. This concept scrutinized our readiness for the dangerous real-life
world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The day the
unfortunate incident happened</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">it was late afternoon</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I was coming back from lectures and was excited for the class, to have
fun with other girls and Bob and Peter. This time I came in a bit early. The
hallways towards the dojo were long, shady, and quite creepy but I confidently
walked through and was about to enter the dojo when it happened out of the blue.
Suddenly two strong hands wrapped around me putting me in a tight bear hug. I got
completely immobilized and my hands were pinned. Because it was dark at that
spot and the person was wearing a hoodie, I could not see who it was, but my
strength was no match to his. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">After the
initial shock, the adrenaline and training just kicked in, and thanks to God, I
did not freeze. I made a quick plan in my head; some of my strong body weapons
were not blocked. In the first step, I made a sharp head-butt to startle him
and to loosen his hold a bit, which was followed by a sharp knee strike. I
could not see the target so it was like a shot in the dark, I just hoped my
knee would be guided by his thighs toward the intended target. But it was not a
perfect shot, I could not feel the softness of his genitals. So, I quickly
re-aimed for the following attempt, this time I went deeper between his legs, and
voilà, the striking zone landed perfectly. His thin fabric shorts offered no protection,
and I could feel I was forcefully compressing one of his testicles between the
pelvic floor and my knee as I was lifting him. My kneeing concert continued. The
second time I tilted the trajectory a bit, so the other male egg got equal
treatment, and as Linda said don’t forget there is also willy, so I went with
my knee also right in the middle, so all three friends down there were treated
equally. This time my lower thigh greeted the tip of his penis, while its two eggy
friends just got only a friendly whack from my patella. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The
attacker’s reaction was as expected, he bent over and let me go. I followed by a
sharp chop to his neck which just accelerated him to the ground. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Breathing
heavily, in a dissipated adrenaline rush I looked down on the young man's
muscular body, which was now folded, kneeling, holding his manhood, and
cursing. I was just about to conclude the defense sequence with a resolute finishing
move - a toe punt kick to the sweet spot below his butt cheeks where the back
of his ball sack was exposed by his position. Luckily, before doing that, I
just realized the guy on the floor was one of our darling attackers</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">poor Bob!

head in clear anger. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyZhjRyYhtSc9n1-PPjc48jcjuIsgIXp_9-dI5pS09LA7s4YmblDJMshXOPIZlQwc8uyCAkpPl77dvu_xFr1KobUuvNRWASRNQj6e1FTkQwAPvufJkbUaBHlYNMFIMNErBQn8rQqkqBNFwW72C28bZzL1U-0WxmL0qiEZSe3OqGSJ0a6q-E6v71qEoEU/s450/Bob%20in%20my%20lap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="300" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIyZhjRyYhtSc9n1-PPjc48jcjuIsgIXp_9-dI5pS09LA7s4YmblDJMshXOPIZlQwc8uyCAkpPl77dvu_xFr1KobUuvNRWASRNQj6e1FTkQwAPvufJkbUaBHlYNMFIMNErBQn8rQqkqBNFwW72C28bZzL1U-0WxmL0qiEZSe3OqGSJ0a6q-E6v71qEoEU/w205-h307/Bob%20in%20my%20lap.jpg" width="205" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I put his head in my lap and made him comfortable. </td></tr></tbody></table><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">Let me help,</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> I wrapped his
arm around my shoulder and assisted him to get on his feet. He limping, and I supporting
him, we got inside the dojo. I let him lie on the bench and relax. I allowed
him to spread his legs to remove any unnecessary pressure on the agitated spot and
put a small pillow below to provide some cushion. To further ease the pain, I
fetched an icepack from the kitchenette and helped him to place it gently on
his anguished groin, sat next to him, let his head rest in my lap so he gets
the best comfort possible, and affectionately went with my hand inside his
blond curly hair, ruffling it a bit.</span></p>

of my attentiveness, I pulled up his T-shirt halfway and started rubbing his pubic
region with my hand. Not sure if it helped or not but at least I was doing
something. Seeing and touching his naked body I realized how ripped he was. Why
he wouldn't, he was a student of PE doing many sports and exercising daily. Bad
thoughts started to flow into my head, and I became troubled there could be
some serious testicular damage, a rupture, or torsion. This was not far-fetched
we learned how to knee perfectly with the ability and intention to do such
damage. This was the moment I was a bit angry with Linda she let this happen
and put the boys' ability to produce testosterone and sperm and being such young
hunks in jeopardy. Was it worth it for the sake of our training? I let the readers
of this blog decide...</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The almost idyllic
moment was disrupted by someone who stood over us. It was Linda. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From the
look on her face, it was not clear whether she was happy I could defend myself successfully
in a realistic scenario or she was dissatisfied that Bob was put out of action
and now cannot ‘serve’ as an attacker for other girls impatiently waiting to
learn male anatomy and practice their self defense skills. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Without any
explanation or asking for approval she quickly slipped her hand into Bob’s
shorts. The examination wasn’t very gentle as Bob at some point yelped and shook
a bit. It seemed she was palpating the glands meticulously but also vigorously,
checking for any signs of trauma: bruising, hematoma, torsion, or rupture. She
then removed her hand from the shorts, and I was anxiously waiting for the
outcome. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Well yes, I see there is indeed a

I could not resist thinking of doing the testicular check by myself. Not that I
did not trust Linda, but I had the urge to take Bob's bag in the palm of my
hand and probe the oval testes with my fingertips on the whole surface, to completely
relieve my concerns. But I was hesitating to do my investigation because of the
already rough handling of Bob’s testicles first by my knee and then by Linda’s
hand. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Before I could do it Susanne showed
up and brought a glass of water and a pill. She handed it to Bob, but before
that, she humorously commented. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Seems the dangerous attacker once
again got what he deserved!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” But she was
nice, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">she advised us on
remedies to mitigate the testicular pain, some were quite weird such as rubbing
the toes! Again, not sure if it proved a magic cure but it was fun. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">To my pleasure, she also
suggested doing the genital examination under her supervision, so I do not feel
guilty and can do it correctly. “We learn how to damage testicles but should also
know how to heal them, or at least make an informed decision whether to see professional
help” she winked at me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I caressed Bob's head kindly
and asked for permission. He agreed. It was a strange feeling. Susanne gave
me, a dummy on this topic, a thorough guidance on how I should palpate the testicles and
what signs and irregularities I should look for. “Handle them like fragile two eggs
you examine for a crack. Not as good as ultrasound, but our sensitive fingers can
do the job as well,” she said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">We also pulled down his shorts and inspected
the testicles visually, and although they looked a bit swollen and with a blue
hue, Susanne assured me there was no indication of hematoma, the icepack should
provide sufficient relief and the pain should go away in a couple of minutes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Indeed,
after some time, Bob showed signs of recovery, and I decided to follow Linda’s
order to bring him back to business. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A little
bugger, he was truly lazy, acting like being glued on the bench and not willing
to get up so I had to use a mild enforcing technique like swinging my hand above
his bulge to warn him what could happen if he did not follow my demands. Then I
made a mock GTP movement in the air and asked him </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Bob, you don’t want
to be pulled to the class, do you?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” This worked perfectly
and he slowly moved out of his ‘den’. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the
following days, I was often rewinding the moments of the incident, the initial shock
and adrenaline rush, the tenderness of the orbs being crushed, and how impactful
my technique was on a much stronger young guy. It was a very strange but at the
same time, empowering experience and I am a bit ashamed to say I wanted to go
through it again… Was it all Linda’s plan?… Who knows...</span></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com91tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-54008524371824905002023-12-02T11:07:00.000-08:002023-12-02T11:09:10.289-08:00How to handle manspreading (self defense implications) Part 1<p>I already mentioned before that from time to time, I read a feminist
online journal. Not that I would agree with everything written there but it is
indeed interesting to see different views on some, often very controversial
topics. Last time there was published a whole issue about so-called
manspreading and how to deal with it. If you are not familiar with the expression,
in short, men tend to spread their legs wide open when sitting, which especially on busy
public transport causes problems by occupying limited space for other passengers.
Because I commute every day, I have noticed this, but it has never come to the
point it would bother me much or that it would offend me. Tom also likes to sit
on our sofa like that when we chill out or watch a TV.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, the author of the main article<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span>a
famous local feminist<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">—</span>claimed that manspreading is a serious societal misconduct
and one of the typical signs of toxic masculinity. It is a very inconsiderate behavior,
and we all should make a great effort to put an end to men thinking it is
acceptable to shamelessly expose their filthy crotches to everybody and limit scarce
sitting space for female travelers. As you can imagine there was a very heated
discussion in the comment section. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Men are trying to defend themselves by claiming this is an anatomical
necessity to prevent the discomfort of their testicles being compressed between
their thighs. This was concurred by a female physician who wrote a comment that
also the peculiarity of male anatomy of the pelvis and hips is responsible for this
phenomenon. However, she also claimed that there is no justifiable reason to do this on public transport, and
men should simply withstand those usually short rides in a normal posture with
their knees together. Most female commenters agreed that manspreading combines men's
laziness, lack of attentiveness and consideration for others, and the continuing
urge to display their male dominance (and crotches). This male misconduct is putting

zero consideration. With his right thigh, he pushed me against the wall of the

looked in his face, and then down there expecting him to get the idea. But
nothing, no response at all! Then I saw one of his filthy dangly hairy testicles
slipped from his loose shorts and was ‘proudly presented’ to all the passengers!

One woman posted a comment
in which she explained a very effective (and to some hilarious) way she
invented to deal with manspreading on the commuter trains, she takes every day
to and from her job. This is how she does it: She carries a big handbag, in
which she puts a lot of heavy books. This appears very innocent, just makes her
look like a hard-studying student or a young teacher. She also wears stiletto
shoes. When she spots a <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">‘</span>manspreader’, at the right moment she walks by, pretending
she is looking for a free seat or wants to get off the train at the next stop.
The moment she is in the right position, she suddenly plays out an act that her
stiletto heel slipped or got stuck in the floor and she drops. At that moment a
bag full of heavy load lands on the slayed crotch of the misbehaver. Of course,
she mastered aiming very precisely so that the corner of her bag hit directly
the highly sensitive and the same time fully exposed bulge. According to her, the
sharp edges of the books always do the intended job. She then innocently apologizes
and quickly leaves. The man is, however, left in great discomfort, and his
dramatic pathetic response and even cry, of course, draws the unwanted and
embarrassing attention of all travelers. She finally added that this way men
can quickly learn that exposing their private parts is inappropriate in public and
doing so can sometimes cause their testicles more harm than good. She claimed
that after a couple of such ‘interventions,’ the manspreading on her train line
was almost eliminated! You can imagine she got a lot of likes from female
readers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I attended Linda’s course so have learned how sensitive the male
gonads are in their awkward position hanging between their legs and frequently getting
compressed. So, from my point of view, I understand and probably valid are the
arguments that when a man spreads his legs it is just to give his testicles
enough room and maybe some rest and air to breathe—something we women often find
difficult to sympathize with because of the obvious differences between our
anatomies. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although a complex and controversial issue, manspreading has
been discussed by Linda as it has some very important implications for self
defense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A sex attack can often happen when
sitting, and a man for instance demands oral sex. In this case, a man often gets
comfortable with his legs apart which means fully exposing his testicles. Good
for us, we can conveniently utilize this situation when willingly provided unrestricted
access to the scrotum. Linda used Bob and Peter to show which is the best approach
in these situations and which techniques are the best and we even learned a new
nasty technique called a ‘toast maker’….

interesting <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLi94HDKSwA" target="_blank">video</a> about some crazy accident that happened in Peru. It was not
that clear what was going on, but apparently, it was some kind of bet or rock-paper-scissors
game between a young guy and a lady. The guy lost, and the lady immediately kicked
him in the testicles with a perfectly placed and strong front kick. The reporter
mentioned she was an expert in karate. The guy went down instantly and was in
great pain; a nice example of proper kicking BTW. From what I understood he ended up in urology ER
and one testicle had to be removed. It was just plain stupid to take such a bet.
Apparently, he is a YouTuber and did it to get more views; did not earn any likes
from me though. Ultimately he learned his lesson the hard way, but I hope
he is fine known and will be much more careful with the remaining nut.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking at the video, I realize that there is an interesting
topic to discuss as a continuation of the series about ball myths. When reading
discussions and pieces of advice from ‘experts’ about female self defense
online, from time to time there is a very weird claim popping up. It often goes
like this ‘You should not try to kick a man in the groin because there is a significant
delay in reaction, and during this period, he can keep fighting and do anything
to the woman.’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, it would be
interesting to know the origin of this myth. Well to me it is just one of all
the myriad stupid excuses for some men (unfortunately often self defense
instructors) to shy away from the reality of their vulnerability down there and
rather go on with some laughable but non-controversial techniques (kick him in
the shin instead, probably no delay in reaction with this one LOL). I have seen
and experienced plenty of substantial evidence this is simply not true. <o:p></o:p></p>

unprotected testicles at our disposal was a very good opportunity provided by
Linda to bust such misconceptions once and for all. Trying by ourselves was worth
the thousands of words. On numerous occasions, the moment I felt the squishy soft
tissue of a boy's little bag with my fingertips, the palm of my hand, the knee,
toes, or the top of the foot, the desired reaction basically instantly kicked
in. Just a mild disturbance of the glands and what was a fit strong young muscular
body in the blink of an eye just crumbles down and writhes in pain. Sure, a brief delay is there but can be a fraction
of a second or maybe a second max. Not a convenient time frame for him to fix
his tie and just keep fighting as some delusional men imagine. I understand
that many women do not have the possibility to test things by themselves as we
did in the course. Luckily, numerous videos posted online of some real-time
accidents (or intentions :) such as funny home videos, MMA matches, or TikTok
‘Hit-him-in-the-ball challenge’ (apparently there was indeed such a couple of
years ago, look it up) are a good resource to see the true physiological dynamics of a man being hit the testicles. Notice how the response comes immediately and
is associated with the common protection reflex. If you are still eager to try it out,
and you have a boyfriend or husband, just find the right moment and unexpectedly strike the area with a
gentle slap. You can play it out as an accident if you do not want to reveal
the reason for your experiment <span face=""Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊.</span>

pain receptors (nociceptors). When agitated they fire the signal which travels up to the spinal
cord and brain. It has been established that the speed of the pain signal is
around 1 m/s so it gets there in no time. The reason for this is to prompt the
owner quickly: ‘Look your precious family jewels are in danger if you do not
want to lose them, which can happen easily, just back off and take care of them.’
As Linda used to say, ‘Balls and brain talk fast, use it!’<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To be honest from the neurological point of view the
situation is not that simple and there is a bit of truth in the myth. In a
medical article I read some time ago there are actually two pain responses, one
is fast, and another is a slow effect which indeed comes after and is much stronger.
The spermatic nerves are directly connected to the nerve system of the abdomen
(testicles originated there and descended into the scrotum during development).
That’s why the effect is also called the referred pain, and the typical reaction is bending
over due to the cramps in the stomach area (vagal reflex). In conclusion, do
not be discouraged by the myth perpetrated by those who often feel embarrassed or
even threatened by the capabilities women have, to fight back. We should not submit
ourselves to some pathetic bogus claims and rather follow the evidence. <o:p></o:p></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com96tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-39364582528038160372023-08-06T14:30:00.001-07:002023-08-06T14:30:57.864-07:00To hull strawberries (part 2) - death pinch 🤏 <p><span style="font-family: inherit;">The tables turned for the guys. While Bob showed signs of relief, Peter became
increasingly anxious. Death pinch sounded horrific, yet it sparked our
curiosity. We all instinctively surrounded him so he could not ‘escape’ but at
the same time, we felt for him. By showing affection and being kind to him we
tried to mitigate his worries. Before getting to the real demonstration, Linda
fetched a small chair and a thick textbook with the title <i>Human Anatomy</i> from
the shelf in the corner of our dojo.</span></p>

matures before it is released during the climax. This organ is a soft bundle of
highly innervated tissue attached at one point to the back of each testis.
Importantly, it is not covered by tunica albuginea and is possibly a man's most
sensitive anatomical part. However, it is relatively small and hidden in the rear
so not easy to target…but it is a great pressure point for hand techniques when
you gained access to the naked scrotum, for instance during a successful play-along
strategy. The severity of the technique used on this part can be adjusted; just
light squeezing will stop any unwanted advance of a date or overzealous
boyfriend and will teach him a lesson. A

it during her service in the secret service. It causes the death of the testicle as it
cannot be repaired. It is amazing that even a pinch by a woman can cause such a
drastic effect. Besides that, it is so extremely painful it can cause

his eyes, “Don’t worry Peter there is no danger to your testicles, there will
be just a small discomfort.” She then immediately put the fingers of her right
hand behind his sac and flipped them quickly a few times like she was writing
on a keyboard, so the fingertips tapped the back of the testicles resulting in Peter’s
scrotum rippling. It was a gentle movement but still triggered a significant
reaction. Peter bent over and released a loud <i>uff</i>. He pulled his leg
from the chair, covered his crotch, and reproachfully looked at Linda. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">She did not care. “You see, just a mild tap on that area can shoot a
significant pain signal in his brain.” Then, without giving him much recovery
time, she pointed with her finger at the chair as a sign he had to put his leg
back and get ready for the demonstration. Although hesitatingly, he did, and she
continue with her demonstration. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Ok, let's find that magic pain button. Watch closely.” She gently took his
left testicle in one hand and clutched her thumb and pointer finger of the
other hand at the backside. <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the root of the testicle.” She gently rubbed the area where the testicle
attaches to the body. Like this, she raised her hand and showed a mild gesture,
like you would probe an expensive fabric. <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“The spermatic cord consists of nerves, blood vessels, and the vas deferens

of the epididymis. Probe it with your

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">I noticed Peter’s body was shivering a bit and there were goosebumps on
the skin of his thighs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">She suddenly changed the tone from deadly serious to playful. “Of the
note girls, I read that based on the firmness of the structure you can tell if
the guy ejaculated recently.” She then looked again deep into Peter's eyes. “Well,
based on what I feel, I suspect your girlfriend neglects her duty.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“We can take care of it later, right?” Rebeca nudge me with her elbow
and winked at me. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda did not notice her comment and went on with the demonstration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Once you located it, you can test the sensitivity of this pain generator

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda commented, “It is very sensitive as you can see.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Now to the real technique. It starts with fixating a testicle with one
hand, like this.” She encircled the
testicle with her fingers, so it got completely entrapped and bulging at the
back. “Once you have it securely trapped, use the thumb and pointer fingernails
of your other hand to claw the structure, like a crab. It must be violent, and
the nails have to be hooked and sunk deep into the tissue in the grove between
the epididymis and the testis. Then add the squeezing, twisting, and ripping motion like
you would remove the stem from the strawberry. Basically, you dehulled his testis and
disconnect it from the main body. There is no way it can be recovered and will
have to be removed. The pain completely immobilizes him and it lingers for a
long time.” <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7A84Yr0NrVq2zK56TM7qqwajpJ9uPAyjDRbeDJINaPs2DHvWAer3dY06qc4te_whpjZ5pvAhDtjC2j2gHiLN7-cHRVcMPQxnK7MEh6LXGjDqwdCwgkoboZlGqJZpr_vz8VXq_047cGQdZpCkHzOuYsPXVKEInmQuDLh9BV7p-0ySqrqi-DD8sAj_DbU/s5103/death%20pinch.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="2542" data-original-width="5103" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7A84Yr0NrVq2zK56TM7qqwajpJ9uPAyjDRbeDJINaPs2DHvWAer3dY06qc4te_whpjZ5pvAhDtjC2j2gHiLN7-cHRVcMPQxnK7MEh6LXGjDqwdCwgkoboZlGqJZpr_vz8VXq_047cGQdZpCkHzOuYsPXVKEInmQuDLh9BV7p-0ySqrqi-DD8sAj_DbU/w546-h271/death%20pinch.png" width="546" /></a></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">The whole metaphoric expression sounded weird but at the same time spot
on. Suddenly we understood why Linda brought the strawberries and let us remove
stems with our fingernails at the beginning of the class. Just that we get the
idea. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Emma broke the long silence. “<i>Fuuu!</i> That sounds horrific!” She put
her head affectionately on Peter’s shoulder. “Don’t worry Peter for good guys like
you it shall never happen.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda surprisingly opposed that statement “Well, some attackers might
look like nice and attractive guys first. Don’t get fooled easily, always be
vigilant, and do not hold back when fighting.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tension on Peter's face eased
only when Linda let his testicles hang freely again and she got on her feet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda clapped her hands. “Time for practice girls! Let’s go one by one, but
again it is a delicate thing, I warn you. The purpose of this exercise is to
familiarize yourself with the structure and be able to find it quickly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are allowed to squeeze it just lightly to
confirm you found the right spot. So please no dehulling.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all got the idea that we must be extremely
careful with this one. I could not wait for m turns. Rebeca was quite
impatient “Can we also get Bob for this training? You know just to try on
different testicles.” She wrapped her arm around Bob's shoulder as some kind of
friendly gesture. Her request was made in such a demanding tone that was hard
to reject. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Sure,” Linda nodded, “just get another chair.” I could hear a joyful
yes!<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com237tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-74937294989345725332023-07-16T09:21:00.000-07:002023-07-16T09:21:46.182-07:00Shin, top of the foot, ball of the foot, toes? 🦶 That is the question! <p>At some point, I realized that one self defense technique I have
rarely mentioned is the front testicle kick commonly known as the groin kick.
Well, this is definitely not because I do not consider it useful, but this blog
mainly focuses on overlooked last-resort self defense methods and kicking is
rather a first-response move suitable mainly for the initial stages of an
attack. However, I think all of you agree, it would be a big mistake not to
discuss it thoroughly.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although regarded as a staple classical technique of female
self defense, it is again associated with many controversies and mixed opinions;
some ‘experts’ even suggest ‘groin kicks’ should be avoided completely. The inconvenient
truth is, if not mastered enough they can just fail, he might grab your leg and
throw you, or if mistargeted it can just enrage him. On the other hand, a
properly executed unexpected kick to the most sensitive male bits can be an
immediate stop for even the most dangerous and determined attacker.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7EbQHhBlaXXZpbpDocDozS0AOCbR7Dy3mWda1UOodXp3gxW-Mjvsg-QsmoohcwZx9r0J9WWtOuuzKmBq3npC8bYhvFL1joBiH0FwJQHX7zrZhn3M8JLBxmMnpUsgiThvep1b8E84hXclM3-omlD1PENryCe27SHA-71abdigxsvYwsG4SSgCkYeovX8/s612/legs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="612" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO7EbQHhBlaXXZpbpDocDozS0AOCbR7Dy3mWda1UOodXp3gxW-Mjvsg-QsmoohcwZx9r0J9WWtOuuzKmBq3npC8bYhvFL1joBiH0FwJQHX7zrZhn3M8JLBxmMnpUsgiThvep1b8E84hXclM3-omlD1PENryCe27SHA-71abdigxsvYwsG4SSgCkYeovX8/w323-h216/legs.jpg" width="323" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Legs offer different striking areas for kicking. </td></tr></tbody></table>Firstly, it is important to remember, like with kneeing,
force, and precision are the most important elements of a successful kick. The
up-from-under motion of the leg ensures the testicles are crushed against the
pubic bone. Important is gaining the greatest momentum of your leg possible; in
this way, you can lift him off the ground similarly as when kneeing testicles.
When quick and unexpected, he has little chance to block or counteract it in
any way. A powerful kick can be achieved by slightly stepping back and shooting
the leg explosively toward the imaginary target above the genitals. An ideal situation is when the attacker has
his legs open at the point, he approaches you and squares off.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, when reading articles and comments about female
self defense there is always one unresolved issue always coming up: what should
be the preferred striking area: shin, top of the foot, toes, or ball of the
foot?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In one of my earlier posts, I already mentioned the <a href="https://lastresortselfdefense.blogspot.com/2020/10/to-scoop-nuts.html" target="_blank">testicle scoop kick</a>, using which even the weakest woman can do a number on the
attacker’s testicles combining both impact and jerking force of her toes. But what
about other striking areas in normal types of kicking? You often hear advice
like: <i>Do not kick with your toes, they are too soft, you will just hurt
yourself</i>. Or: <i>By kicking with the top of the foot you can miss, it is
safer to use shin</i>, etc. So how is it? You are probably quite interested in
what Linda said about this issue. Well to be honest, there is no one right
answer, it all depends on the situation and circumstances, for instance, the
distance between you and him, your and his clothing or the type of your shoes,
or if barefoot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s now discuss more closely and critically the different
possible striking areas one by one.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wntyVkVYgH321loZFEb0SjXfquqMpxBgiWZUEgnJ5q6ro_KCFwXXHNlb3v4pQHIPa8XergMa-m4skfefwsOsBNq8uQp_VT7pNIZiB0gHmxxuTNcKvHSL2aMtDVXYw-Q-yzADronRXW0H-b9vu5U911DRZoIIFn7gkzKs-v1_yJSElWcXfYrE9iVdFdQ/s12363/kicks.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="11414" data-original-width="12363" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2wntyVkVYgH321loZFEb0SjXfquqMpxBgiWZUEgnJ5q6ro_KCFwXXHNlb3v4pQHIPa8XergMa-m4skfefwsOsBNq8uQp_VT7pNIZiB0gHmxxuTNcKvHSL2aMtDVXYw-Q-yzADronRXW0H-b9vu5U911DRZoIIFn7gkzKs-v1_yJSElWcXfYrE9iVdFdQ/w462-h426/kicks.png" width="462" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The mechanics of different striking areas: (A) shin, (B) top of the foot, (C) ball of the foot, (D) toes. </td></tr></tbody></table></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Shin (A): </b>A very sturdy area of the leg can be used
when the attacker is not close enough to be kneed in the testicles but too far
away to be kicked with any distal parts of the foot. Because a quite large area,
aiming does not need to be that precise, you just need to get your shin between
his leg and move up, and your shin will find the desired target. The effect is
like him falling on a handrailing (we all have seen the funny home videos). On
the other hand, it is more difficult to get enough upward momentum without
trying to kick much higher and the shin can be slowed down with his thighs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Top of the foot (B): </b>It is a more distal part of the
leg so you can get a much better swing momentum and penetration. This area is
fortified with tarsal bones, and wearing any hard shoes makes it even sturdier.
Normally, the impact of the top of the foot comes from the bottom and a little
bit from the back, which is advantageous, because as you already know the back
of the testicles is the most sensitive due to the presence of delicate
epididymis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the other hand, to use
this area, there needs to be the right distance between you and him. Creating
or getting in a convenient distance for a particular move is an overlook but essential
part of self defense skills. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVIbTUOpjJOu0Z-RI_wlAFpZbHvMMc77_JeCHHPSO8HPVLXIx_6Wh_qfdQ5ZSvt7NsF9UiGdQSJS818csbmsxaxGv14RI7APxqh8vOZfFehVwIRtw7kI1HoS8MnBqxxB83ML6eyQjMTvaVp_iqXRKxa0jqdejul30hk0Ve-EU1uko08Kdk4B1Ep8JnAo/s2668/kuba%20kickz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2172" data-original-width="2668" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVIbTUOpjJOu0Z-RI_wlAFpZbHvMMc77_JeCHHPSO8HPVLXIx_6Wh_qfdQ5ZSvt7NsF9UiGdQSJS818csbmsxaxGv14RI7APxqh8vOZfFehVwIRtw7kI1HoS8MnBqxxB83ML6eyQjMTvaVp_iqXRKxa0jqdejul30hk0Ve-EU1uko08Kdk4B1Ep8JnAo/w211-h172/kuba%20kickz.jpg" width="211" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Kuba Kickz are handy tools <br />to add spikes to the top of the foot which can <br />do significant damage to his ballsack</td></tr></tbody></table>Interestingly, there is a very handy self defense tool available
on the market called <i>Kuba Kickz. </i>This small plastic thing is to be
fastened between the shoelaces which just adds sharp spikes to your foot making
the top of the foot a devastating prongy weapon. Linda owned one of these and
showed us what those spikes do on a kicking dummy leathery bottom. Believe me,
there were some indentations left behind! So don’t worry, luckily for them, Bob
or Peter were excluded from the demonstration this time even if they wore cups.
Still, it is not difficult to imagine what it would do with real scrotum content
after a hard kick. I like they come in pink, and they are not an overly big object,
but still not that inconspicuous, it is something one can wear for jogging but
not a stylish piece for a formal meeting, date, or party. I would rather avoid explaining if somebody
asks: What’s that thing on your shoes?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The ball of the foot (C): </b>In a normal situation hard
to use as the whole foot would have to be raised up at a 90<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">°</span>
angle. Also, this striking area is relatively soft and would generate rather
pushing force from the front against his penis which would provide some
cushion. It is hard to ensure up and under movement and crushing testicles
against hard backing. On the other hand, it is a good striking area when
kicking for instance from a sitting or lying position (these situations will be
for sure discussed later).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Toes (D): </b>As mentioned, toes should be utilized
during scoop kicking to generate the right hooking/jerking motion. Toes are the
most distal part of the limb and therefore can get the greatest momentum. On
the other hand, bare toes are floppy and not as sturdy as for instance the top
of the foot and a direct hit on the pelvic floor can be painful (but not even
close as it is for the attacker). When wearing any pointy shoes, there is no doubt
that this is the striking area of choice. Raise the tip of your shoe and drive
it into his bulge explosively. The tip of the shoe has a great penetrating
capacity and usually impacts just one testicle. When well placed the effect is
great and can lead to testicle rupturing and him passing out. If possible,
repeat the kick to ensure the complete defeat of the thug. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In conclusion, regardless of the striking area, kicking is
an effective means of female self defense. There are so many more aspects to discuss
in detail and of course, practicing kicking during the course was as much fun
as kneeing or other techniques. I will cover it more thoroughly in some future
posts. <o:p></o:p></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com89tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-15498643261098424342023-05-28T13:35:00.000-07:002023-05-28T13:36:13.895-07:00To hull strawberries (part 1) 🍓 🍓 <p>The last time I went to a grocery store and saw the price tag of imported
strawberries I wished the season is coming soon and I can get some fresh from
the local farms for a much better price…and cook my favorite strawberry cake…
yummy. Thinking about strawberries brought back memories of a particularly exciting
class when we learned the power of pinching and clawing for self defense. As I
told you already, Linda owns a small summerhouse in the countryside with a
garden and an orchard and grows all kinds of fruits, in an organic and
sustainable way. She often shared the harvest with us so we could snack on it
before classes and gain some energy and use those fruits as educational tools
and substitutes for male anatomical parts.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicpE-xsn0R2efyLheOHonRDeJQNRvTuUJXBuFYytE22zkLk1LgkG_upoMS9TRfL56hXH0j32qDhbGpnYGdrHrr9TINfcVVrTnkDCj_hzADSLy_686SFeuNC280EGqk4KQQYY3uEdmZE7G32nTXwuDQkb9nvTqA1MwLKey6CttcGgIVRSvJMi3aViL1/s1146/strawberry-huller.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1146" data-original-width="824" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicpE-xsn0R2efyLheOHonRDeJQNRvTuUJXBuFYytE22zkLk1LgkG_upoMS9TRfL56hXH0j32qDhbGpnYGdrHrr9TINfcVVrTnkDCj_hzADSLy_686SFeuNC280EGqk4KQQYY3uEdmZE7G32nTXwuDQkb9nvTqA1MwLKey6CttcGgIVRSvJMi3aViL1/w166-h231/strawberry-huller.png" width="166" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Strawberry huller</td></tr></tbody></table>I remember one time she brought a whole basket full of huge, red, and
sweet strawberries. Believe me, these were the best strawberries I have ever
had. While we were indulging in the delicious fruits and feeding some to
(begging) Bob and Peter, Linda again surprised us with a strange object she
took from her bag. She explained to us “I saw you struggling to pinch off the
stem, we all know how cumbersome and messy it is, don’t we? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you need to process a rich harvest for
preservation or for making a jam this gadget really helps to save time, nerves,
and precious fruits. Have a look at how it works.” She took a strawberry, pressed
the button to open the pincers, dug them deep into the top of the strawberry, turned it a bit, released
the button on the back of the handle, and then pulled the whole
stem chunk away. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Quite nifty, isn’t it?”
Indeed, but we all knew she did not show us this rare kitchen utensil just to
give us some fruit-processing advice.<br /> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">While we were standing around her, she asked us. “Ladies, show me your
fingernails!” We were all surprised by her request, but we all raised our hands
up for her to inspect them. Well, I was a bit ashamed because, honestly, I do
not put much effort into manicures and wear no nail extensions. To me, they
look oddly long and often fall off. I rather trim and clean my fingernails
regularly and I occasionally put transparent nail polish, that’s it. Admittingly

and fingernails the same way as this huller’s prongs to inflict a serious
injury on a male body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fingernails are some
of the best self defense tools a woman carries with her all the time. They can
be used for poking, clawing, scratching, and pinching. I can see you all take good
care of your fingernails, but not all have the right length; long nails can break,
and short nails do not penetrate deep enough. The best is to keep them around 0.4-0.5
cm long. Also, the almond shape is better than the squared. Like mine or Susanne’s,</span>” she raised her hand so we all could see and smiled, “we are well prepared for a
dangerous encounter.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">She continued with the lecture. “Basically, you can pinch on any place
of the male body which is momentarily available to you and cause some
discomfort but there is a couple of vital points that are the most vulnerable on
which you can cause serious damage,” she quickly added, “obviously many of
those points are located on male genitals.” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhsy_hMS-1AtXoRiB2GQjg7Aas0mpiIm5ZiQDM1wmvkF8metZ-wCtbR4xV4CP2tKETY1yWLVYp8q_vmO-rFAUld8Psfw97WkN9EfQ02L5DRJoeW7ogC8ztjr9kpT7-pYmWiwmxsmfmRUf_pKpw1VPoGNP06zPZ6pREYcq3SlwiB-gswU8uMLRLaIX/s1200/Almond%20shape%20fingernail.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizhsy_hMS-1AtXoRiB2GQjg7Aas0mpiIm5ZiQDM1wmvkF8metZ-wCtbR4xV4CP2tKETY1yWLVYp8q_vmO-rFAUld8Psfw97WkN9EfQ02L5DRJoeW7ogC8ztjr9kpT7-pYmWiwmxsmfmRUf_pKpw1VPoGNP06zPZ6pREYcq3SlwiB-gswU8uMLRLaIX/w263-h263/Almond%20shape%20fingernail.png" width="263" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Natural fingernails in the almond shape of the<br /> right length can be a dangerous weapon</td></tr></tbody></table>“You can skin his penis and dehull
his testicles and seriously mess up the internal plumbing beyond repair with a
little effort. This would stop even the toughest man in his track.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She emphasized the word ‘dehull’
used in a metaphoric way but sounded horrific. “Well, enough theory, let’s see
how it is applied to some real genitals.” She turned to Bob and Peter
standing by. “Who of you two wants to volunteer for this demonstration?” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">It was obvious that both guys
already felt quite uncomfortable after her speech even though it was just about
fingernails and pinching. They already knew that even a girly style of fighting can
turn out to be brutal in Linda’s hands, literally. Their poor faces looked like
the chunks of those strawberries stuck in their throats. They were of course very
hesitant to step in as test models for this precarious activity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“The volunteer will get this nice strawberry from me” Laura tried to get
her preferred volunteer by waving with nice juicy fruit in her hand and looking
at Peter with a luring look, but he remained hesitant and tried to drift away
from us. At some point, Linda became impatient, and grabbed the closest standing chap—Bob, and pulled him into the center
of the arena. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

squatted next to him, pulled down his gym shorts and boxers, and exposed his swinging
genitals. Maybe totally bizarre and surreal for most people but we have already accustomed
to these situations and because we were in some kind of ‘fruity’ mood, we
felt compelled to juice it up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“What nice two kiwis, we have got!” exclaimed Ana. “And a little banana
as well,” I added, “Let’s chop it into a tasty fruit salad.” Linda rolled her
eyes and looked at us strictly. “Easy, easy girls, act like adults, please. Be
thankful to Bob,” she patted him caringly on his naked butt as a sign of
appreciation and to calm him down.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">She then proceeded with her detailed anatomical examination of the sensitive spots
and apparently, there were many! 😊 </span> “Let’s start with the penis for a change. This
part is obviously accessible when he demands a blow or hand job, attacking the
penis with your hands and making it unfunctional essentially prevents him from
using his tool for an attack and making an opening for following moves. But it must be done correctly for the maximum
effect.” After she said that, she held Bob’s flaccid
organ with her left hand, bent it upward, and then with the other hand she
pulled back his foreskin so the whole glans popped up. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Despite Linda’s request to get serious and respectful, I think it was
Ana who again commented. “Hmmm, and now we have got a nice red strawberry”,
referring to the shape and reddish color of the organ which was now sticking out
from Linda’s grasp. Because the approximation was so spot on it put a smile on
Linda’s face and she let it be. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Instead of this immature banter come closer so you can see. The object
is not very big, and I won’t repeat it.” We all chuckled and packed around Bob’s
waist for a better look at the ‘far from sizeable’ subject. Linda was really
pulling Bob’s foreskin till it was tight, which, based on the grimace on his face,
was clearly discomforting for him. “You see this triangle of skin, what is it
called?” asked Linda. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Susanne as always
was very eager to show off her medical knowledge and immediately replied “It is
called the frenulum.”<o:p></o:p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBcvM_VA0X49jgM6X3BFPaNlW-VJl2ngKmRxOBOnYhBx93YLYM8s4Nipu6ClwDWAvWXWBCePXKrBSf9Iclo-ht1kZKwfYD1gMEbqsQgUWBnip1pLkYD0D-PHTT39pCPI5f7ofFV9bRx5sXjFHTqlGmfwAPt71OIy9GlEuHyfXRNft1BolVX0Af1XB/s4246/pinching%201.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1959" data-original-width="4246" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMBcvM_VA0X49jgM6X3BFPaNlW-VJl2ngKmRxOBOnYhBx93YLYM8s4Nipu6ClwDWAvWXWBCePXKrBSf9Iclo-ht1kZKwfYD1gMEbqsQgUWBnip1pLkYD0D-PHTT39pCPI5f7ofFV9bRx5sXjFHTqlGmfwAPt71OIy9GlEuHyfXRNft1BolVX0Af1XB/w459-h213/pinching%201.png" width="459" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The nail of the pointer finger can be used to hook behind the frenulum (A) <br />or sink it deep in the meatus (B).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda nodded “Correct, this flap of skin attaches the foreskin to the
glans penis. It is a very sensitive and highly innervated area, also very fragile,
and susceptible to tearing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now see, you
can relatively easily hook your fingernails around and pull with a sharp twist
to tear it” She did exactly what she was saying but the pull and twist were
rather demonstrating and gentle. Important, just be sure you hook your
fingernails well behind. Damaging this structure will be very painful and
prevent an attacker from continuing the attack. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">I knew that spot is sensitive, and Tom likes it a lot that I pay attention
to it when I do him a blow job, but never thought of it as a target for self defense.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda moved on to the
next target. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Let’s continue with
the meatus, it is the opening of the urethra from which all the stuff goes out.
It is actually wider than you think, and you can sink the fingernail of your
pointer finger deeply in and then use your thumb as a counter for a sharp
tweak. This is well working if you have pointy and long fingernails.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"> Her demonstration was again mild but still caused
some discomfort and cringed face of Bob. On the other hand, Peter seemed to be
relieved he was not chosen for this ‘activity’, but probably he suspected not
for long. At some point Bob’s penis got stiffer, it was not fully erect just
sticking out at a 90° angle and the foreskin stayed retracted so Linda could
let go of the hold and use both her hands for demonstration and gesturing. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">“Now I am going to explain the method called ‘clawing the head’, very effective
on the erect penis. She then pointed at the groove behind the penis head. This
grove in anatomy called the coronal sulcus is conveniently shaped for hooking
in the fingernails. She then gently lifted the fold of tissue with the nail of
her pointer finger. You should start by forming a claw with your thumb, pointer,
and middle finger, then sink the nails deep in the groove and pull. You obviously
can’t remove the whole penis head, but you can cause serious laceration and
bleeding and of course unbearable sharp pain.” Bob got frightened and started
to breathe heavily when Linda formed the claw and softly nudged the fingernails
in the seam of sensitive flesh.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNVCAq7XN_aZLwmfNqBJO-03GtOrxW7R6J9v8pyIheCf2h5BSlUtkvrAf_ogJWcbV0krzPwCCnaJ7FJyeXC1gLG09B8HxouovndYc1H0G4JqGIUUXDlOFPHucpGW1rXhgqMDnzxiIU42D0_SxjYGvCzNRNRb8Z0BFzXsN5sJ1r9QvUgKHiaLr5l8hY/s10258/pinching%202.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4779" data-original-width="10258" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNVCAq7XN_aZLwmfNqBJO-03GtOrxW7R6J9v8pyIheCf2h5BSlUtkvrAf_ogJWcbV0krzPwCCnaJ7FJyeXC1gLG09B8HxouovndYc1H0G4JqGIUUXDlOFPHucpGW1rXhgqMDnzxiIU42D0_SxjYGvCzNRNRb8Z0BFzXsN5sJ1r9QvUgKHiaLr5l8hY/w659-h307/pinching%202.png" width="659" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The penis can be attacked by pinching e.g. the frenulum (A) or clawing the head (B). </td></tr></tbody></table></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Linda suddenly surprised us “Who wanna try it out?” We all immediately raised our
hands, just Tania stepped back. She always refrained from these exercises involving
touching bare guys and Linda accepted that. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">“Bob will be for sure nice and let you try, don’t you?” Bob received
another pat from Linda on his butt. He nodded in agreement, but I don’t think he
had any other option </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">😊</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Let’s go one by one

was referring to with her fingertips.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Some of us were really excited to try. Laura was impatiently flopping
her long nail extension in anticipation and made a pledge “I’ll be very careful,
I promise!” </span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Promises, promises, but Bob shook and jolted uncontrollably from time to time as the girl’s
sharp horny protrusions clawed in the specified places and enacted the move. Poor
Bob, but well, no way around it. Sure we could use rubber dildos, but for these
techniques, it wouldn’t be realistic enough. We needed to feel and inspect the
real anatomical features, so Linda as always took the direct approach. It was
indeed very educational how the fingernail shape and length are important; my
short fingernails could not pierce deep or form good pincers. At that moment I
decided to grow them longer. Practicality or aesthetics aside, safety first! </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">😊</span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">It was funny how some of us got deeply absorbed in the exercise. Probably
because we have never thought about such extraordinary use of our fingernails. Although
some of us clearly wanted to continue the drill, at some point keeping the time schedule prevailed and Linda closed this session, “OK
enough, thank you, Bob, I think you had enough,” and pulled back his shorts over
his now fully erect penis so it formed a funny mound. Then she used the hand,
which just a moment before was demonstrating the mangling of his manhood, to caress
him on his (upper) head. “That was for the penis, I think for the death pinch demonstration
we need a relaxed scrotum,” and turned to Peter…</p>

horrifically sounding loud <i>kiai!</i>. Her knee contacted the bottom of the
speed bag at high speed, released a thug sound, and sent it to a straight upward
ride at least a meter in the air. Linda winked at us satisfied </span><span lang="SK" style="mso-ansi-language: SK; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You

at all, it had at least a few kilograms; when trying to strike it with full force,
it actually hurt! So in the end, we were caressing our aching knees and thighs.

misfired, unintentionally or maybe intentionally <span style="font-family: Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif;">😉</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. Linda continuously commented on our tries to correct our failures,

so-called high knee. It is a great cardio exercise and strengthens all muscles

did not like the image of savage girls testing their self defense skills on
sensitive young men’s reproductive organs, so she rather changed the topic to
life after covid and family issues. I do not blame her, and if you read the
numerous comments on this blog, she is not the only one having some concerns for
Bob and Peter.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Using our
male student peers for training self defense with all it takes including the
major techniques of last resort including testicles as a prime target. Yes, Bob
and Peter were our 'darling attackers', we used them to learn male anatomy and
how to exploit their major vulnerability, but their involvement was not
completely without rules. They were not our lab rats or some kind of inanimate
test objects as some suggested. We followed some ethical codex, and we also quickly
learned the appropriate etiquette; when we veered Linda quickly put us
back on the right track. Gaining empowering experience from learning self defense
in a realistic, no-punches-pulled way is not a sign of hatred towards men but a
necessity. Because, unfortunately the controversy continues, I decided to mention a couple of
rules which a female participant should follow to make such a course a
resourceful truly enjoyable experience yet with hearted consideration for male
participants.</p>

empathic and respectful </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">You come to a self defense course to learn life-saving techniques; he
comes there to help you in your quest. It can be difficult to you to interact
with him physically and to unleash your inner strength but imagine what it
takes for him to put his vulnerable organs (and not only testicles) at stake. He is there to play an attacker, a model to
learn anatomy, it might be embarrassing for him to expose himself so a bunch of
girls can inspect and learn the body pressure points and the peculiarity of
male body to be used to their advantage. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Reality-based sparring could lead to
a few bruises for you, but excruciating pain for him. It is easy to go
overboard, but it is important to be respectful. </span><span lang="EN-US">Speaking</span> you don’t have to completely hide your emotions and the newly gained empowerment but laughing at the guy rolling on the floor, instead of helping him to mitigate the testicular pain is not a part of good etiquette. Some, who read my previous
posts would argue Linda did not follow this rule and accused her of being
demeaning to Bob and Peter. I agree she was a strict teacher having things
under control her focus was on our education in life-saving skills and less on
the guys’ wellbeing but believe me she did not cross the line. And trust me she liked
both guys. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Know his

other hand, a single knee strike can rupture a testicle, a full GTP can easily tear the
cords and damage the epididymis, so one has to find a balance between learning self defense
properly but at the same time not creating unjustifiable risks for his reproductive
organs. So, know the limits of his body; a good instructor tells you what you
can and what is too much. In some cases (especially when kneeing full force is involved), you will need to use protective
equipment, but as I said above use it wisely and only when absolutely
necessary. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Linda was lucky she got
generous funding to organize her course, so she did not spare expenses to buy
quality protective gear for the guys. Those from metal and nicely cushioned
with rubber are the best, a cheap plastic cup can be shattered into pieces that
can pierce into the genitals and do more harm than good. The right size of the cup
is also important so that the testicles and penis snugly fit in and don’t leave
the selection to the guys themselves; they tend to overestimate the size of
their genitals, and an unfitting cup can dislocate and lead to an injury. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">You
will also need ice packs, a lot of those. Very good props are also small soft pillows
that can support the anguished scrotum when the guys lied on the mats to rest.
This equipment mitigates the effects and facilitates recovery hence also minimizing
the time being out of action as the course had to keep the time schedule.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Reward
his sacrifice</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">It
should not be one-way taking and not giving, it would not be fair to exploit him
without any reward. For making such sacrifices he needs something in return. Show
him you acknowledge his investment and made him feel appreciated. There does
not need to be any financial remuneration; gentle caressing, soothing words, or
signs of affection helped. How much to engage intimately is up to any woman I am
not going to make any moral judgment here. All of this makes him happily return
for the next class.</p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com77tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-57139259687139486002023-01-06T07:32:00.000-08:002023-01-06T07:32:21.053-08:00Next 365 days of female self defense<p>This holiday season was like the others. After some busy months
in work, I finally took a break to relax and enjoy the time spent with Tom.
Those two weeks involved the casual watching TV, cooking and eating some
traditional goodies, visiting relatives, and going for some romantic walks. After
being bored of all the staple Christmas fairy tales and family movies on
national channels I suggested we watch what Netflix offers. “Now it is my
turn to choose” I insisted when I spotted the movie <i>365 days</i> in the
selection. I was curious because it seems to be such a paradox; I heard from
my colleagues how awful and cringey the movie is, but strangely, somehow it is still
one of the most successful Netflix movies worldwide.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought there must be something to it so why not watching
it. Tom obviously was not that happy, he wanted some action or comedy, but I
convinced him there are some hot sex scenes in it. If you have not seen it yet
it is a Polish erotic drama. The plot is simple: a young Polish businesswoman
Laura is kidnapped by a young Sicilian mafia boss Massimo who gave her 365
days (not a short time) to fell in love with him or he let her go. Of course,
he is an extremely handsome, rich, and powerful alpha male (otherwise the whole
premise would not fly right?) who always gets what he wants even the heart of any girl
he desires. The plot was simple and predictable but anyway, spoiler alert!: after
some of her initial resistance, a passionate attraction gradually develops, she
drops her nice but boring boyfriend, and finally they are getting married. One
can easily understand why this movie created such a fuzz. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I admit that although the script and dialogues sucked, there was some chemistry between the two characters
and sex scenes were daring. But I was quite disappointed, throughout the entire
film I wished for a more unexpected change in narrative or a twist in the plot.
Why Laura could not show her bravery, and quick-thinking in combination with self defense skills to get
rid of her overconfident and arrogant captor. It would be so satisfying seeing
her turning the tables and by using his fragile masculinity against him to put him
to his knees. There were so many instances in the movie this could easily happen.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For instance, there was this tense scene in the shower when both are
naked. Massimo shows his typical controlling and dominant side (and his male parts), Laura provocatively
teases him with her looks. At some point, seeing her being interested in his
penis (or testicles who knows<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span>), he orders her to touch it. Her hand slowly
moves along his torso towards his crotch. I immediately thought to myself that if she attended
Linda’s course, she would know how to use that instance his confidence betrays
him and his greatest weakness is exposed, to unexpectedly ‘touch’ it in a way he would
never forget and so teaching him the important life lesson not to kidnap a woman. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

defense course had some very bad influence on me. Anyhow, the creators missed
the opportunity to show an example to follow providing an empowering experience
for women with a moral ending that even if a man is an attractive wealthy mafia boss, he
still has sensitive testicles and must carefully safeguard their male vulnerability, otherwise
kidnapping a woman can go wrong. That was my take on this 'cinematographic gem', if you know any other movies which could have had
a similar twist, please feel free to share it in the comments.</div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

started this blog, I received quite some emails, most are very supportive, some
critical (as often are the comments). Today I would like to share (with her permission)
an email I received from a girl named Claire about her very interesting
experience. I consider her account as a very valuable addition to the ongoing
debate about ball myths and the philosophy of teaching self defense to young women
particularly the differences in attitudes between male and female instructors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Dear Wendy,
<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>My name is Claire,
and I just discovered your amazing blog. I study journalism and social science and
I am about to graduate next year. I find the discussions on your blog quite fascinating
uncovering some overlooked gender issues. I even considering doing my master
thesis on the subject. I understand that from a male perspective, it is a very unpleasant and touchy subject, that’s why the responses are not always positive. Let me share a story
from a couple of weeks ago which was for me quite eye-opening and completely
changed my opinion how self-defense should be taught. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>At the beginning
of this semester my good friend convinced me to attend a female self-defense course
organized by our university. I heard some horrible stories about sex offences
which happened recently, so I decided to give it a try. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;">The whole
course consisted of two parts, one was theoretical about crime and rape
prevention and the second one, which lasted for three weeks was about physical deterrence.
We were divided into two groups of approximately 10; one group was led by a
male and one by a female instructor. I was in the first group with Gerry, approximately
35 years old assistant professor from the sports department. He claimed he does
several martial arts including karate and aikido, holding I don’t know which
dan…even went to London Olympics…. He often wore a black kimono probably to highlight
his seniority. Not exactly my type, but he was fit and good-looking, and I
suspect that some of my classmates had a crush on him </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>All the
time he acted like he is the best expert in self-defense in the whole world. I
did not like how cocky and opinionated he was. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Regarding
the content of the course, I must say, his classes were dead boring and to me
appeared totally useless, I often regretted I had to skip my favorite callanetics
classes. The training looked basically all the time the same; he showed us a
particular technique, usually to get out from a hold or grab and then we were
supposed to repeat it and practice, either with him or in pairs. There was hardly
anything on last-resort techniques. It was far from the fascinating and novel
course you had with Linda. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>For
instance, he never mentioned testicles as a possible target…or actually, he mentioned
that we should never attempt to kick or knee the groin, because it is
dangerous, an attacker expects it and that we can lose balance…basically all
the myths you debunk in your posts. Girls
should, according to him, aim their kicks only at shins or knees cos a regular woman
is not able to aim and kick higher. I am not an expert in self-defense by any
means, never done any martial arts but come on, the things he thought were so
unrealistic, consisted mainly of throws, pushes and elbow hits.<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>One evening
Helen, the instructor of the second group got sick and we had to have the class
together. This time we learned how to get away when an attacker stands close by
and grab our hands. The idea was to twist the wrist to release our hand from
the grasp, hit his nose with the palm and at the same time put one leg behind
the attacker and try to trip him and push him down. Practicing this technique obviously
caused us a lot of frustration. I don’t know how he got an idea that tripping a
well-built man is a good self-defense move for an average college girl. Gerry became
quite arrogant, criticizing us, having some stupid demeaning comments, and just
adding to our frustration.</i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtcJn4BcvSk7AVLLPlxtB69HVuNTgnKwFd3_4gLo2VPb6wpEFZaPz9-teHRemUmygL8hUHJYqXQCGEKpj3VEwCI5gvGRhWhSMAsQ-4oME73Sw8oT7B-N1Fxkg8P_InA3gmxe73VfnGlwQbaPvF80t4DN4RfvBPdtWwgLVuOdoLUBkuNmKazMc-AXXm/s640/instructor%20in%20pain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="640" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtcJn4BcvSk7AVLLPlxtB69HVuNTgnKwFd3_4gLo2VPb6wpEFZaPz9-teHRemUmygL8hUHJYqXQCGEKpj3VEwCI5gvGRhWhSMAsQ-4oME73Sw8oT7B-N1Fxkg8P_InA3gmxe73VfnGlwQbaPvF80t4DN4RfvBPdtWwgLVuOdoLUBkuNmKazMc-AXXm/w263-h175/instructor%20in%20pain.jpg" width="263" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">A man is as strong as his weakest point</td></tr></tbody></table>There was a
moment one girl, her name was Nadia was supposed to perform this move with
Gerry playing an attacker. Nadia joined us from the other group and was a bit
older than most of us, I think she was already a graduate student. So he grasped
her hand to simulate an attack. But unexpectedly, Nadia instead of that awkward
maneuver she was supposed to do, completely out of the blue, she stepped forward,
quickly and sharply raised her knee and hit him right there …. you know the
testicles! Because no groin techniques were ever trained, I suspect he never
wore a cup. The bulge of his sweatpants got deformed, screamed horribly and immediately
dropped to the ground. We all looked at him in awe. He was rolling on the floor
cursing in apparently great pain. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nadia was terrified,
she squatted next to him and started to apologize profusely. But he just
angrily rebuffed her focusing on his anguished male organs. Maybe to save the awkward
situation one girl broke the silence and humorously commented </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Well, that worked!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We started to chuckle, and another
girl added </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Seems, Nadia should be our new

appalled by those sarcastic comments. You know we were just students, and he
was a young professor, who just got in an embarrassing situation and is possibly
injured. Of course, he did not share any humor with us, he just looked at us
with an angry red face and called off the session and asked us to leave. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>In the locker
room, we gathered around Nadia to get an explanation. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Nadia told
us that the last session with Helen they learned to get away from a similar
situation, and a knee strike was involved and somehow the whole thing came
automatically. She said I got really scared I ruptured his testicles I could feel
the soft tissue being crushed with my knee. I am so sorry; I had no idea how effective
it can be. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We were
quite supportive, absolutely not blaming her. One girl said </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Don’t feel sorry, you only broke his ego. He should have worn the cup,
come on, this is a self-defense class one should expect their balls to be
kicked!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Nevertheless,
Gerry did not come for the next class. We finished the remaining two classes with
Helen. What a change it was! She was much much better teacher, and Wendy, imagine
she used the word testicles instead of groin! We had some concerns about Gerry,
but she assured us he is fine, he sustained a mild bruising in one testicle and
in her words </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The functionality of the organs got retained.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> She said he took a break, teaching self-defense to young women can be quite
grueling sometimes. </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>She told us
that what Nadia did, is a simple and effective defense move, and any instructor
should not be ashamed to teach it and have the trainees to practice it. She
also blamed Gerry for not wearing a cup, such carelessness was just calling for
disaster. If Nadia kneed with a bit more force it indeed could lead to a
rupture or torsion, possible permanent injuries. But if facing a rapist this
should be our goal. She even gave us some tips how this can be easily accomplished.
<o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;">We also
discussed the grab-twist-pull method in detail. One girl even suggested having
Gerry as a ‘training dummy’ so we can learn this important method in real! Helen
was laughing with us, but she rejected the proposal “A good idea, but I don’t want
to lose my tenure.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;">”</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;"> You were lucky you got Bob and
Peter for Linda’s course. I think Helen should also look into such possibility.
I see a lot of my male cheeky classmates for whom the serving in such a course
as your ‘darling attackers’ would be only for their good </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-style: italic;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>The course
was not long but I was amazed on the differences in attitude and approach
between those two instructors, and I regret we hadn’t done the whole physical
part with her. We had just two classes with her, but we left the course more
confident and empowered and prepared for this dangerous word. <o:p></o:p></i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>I don’t want
to generalize but it indeed seems that female self-defense instructors perform
better, and I can only recommend to specifically look for such courses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></span></p>

interesting nature documentary. It was about animals working in teams. They
showed unique footage of two ravens stealing eggs from a grouse nest. While one
raven distracted the protective female grouse the second one stole the eggs. It
reminded me how Linda strongly highlighted the importance of the surprise
element for female self defense, especially when applying techniques targeting
testicles.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">Understandably, men
are naturally protective of their <i>eggs</i> as was the poor grouse. They
learn from a young age that what is hanging between their legs is not only essential
for their sexuality and propagation of their genes but is also very fragile and
sensitive. </span>In a physical hand-to-hand confrontation, you can see them instinctively
assuming a groin protective stance crossing their legs, they cover their crotch with their
hands, or/and moving their pelvis back. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";"></span></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXrIkb84JRttO3kFhwuc8w2rbEfF3Eb5GNANE3SWKM_dOZ6JrHo4e9Tr_rm-hpc4q8RtaIAYADTEc8IVoIZn1IFX_IbCCiM4SqB2s_drNVXdv03Td-I-ZHpuayvYwRJ_qYVsUFdlu05f39RZMjxyW3iAs2iCqWtED4x0UX7gR-zVCwXrsl08Xney4/s356/protective%20stand.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="356" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXrIkb84JRttO3kFhwuc8w2rbEfF3Eb5GNANE3SWKM_dOZ6JrHo4e9Tr_rm-hpc4q8RtaIAYADTEc8IVoIZn1IFX_IbCCiM4SqB2s_drNVXdv03Td-I-ZHpuayvYwRJ_qYVsUFdlu05f39RZMjxyW3iAs2iCqWtED4x0UX7gR-zVCwXrsl08Xney4/w197-h166/protective%20stand.png" width="197" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Typical male protective posture </td></tr></tbody></table>Many instructors and self-proclaimed
experts insist that this conscious protectiveness and the expectation you would go
for his sensitive bits make testicles an ineffective target and any failed
attempts just make him angrier. Admittedly, this is indeed a limitation,
however, it can be to a great extent overcome by using some dirty tricks to get
to those guarded jewels. With this post, I would like to discuss one of the ‘Ds’ in Linda’s
4D principle of female self defense – deception, which also includes distraction and all types of trickery.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">Linda often used her
unconventional approach to make a point and when it came to this important aspect
it was no different. That evening Linda was a few minutes late for a class, so
we spent time chatting with Bob and Peter. They enjoyed the ladies’ attention and
used it to brag about their recent successes in sports competitions. When she finally
came in, she greeted us briefly and headed toward the guys. While she passed by
Bob, she asked him “Is it your bag over there?” and pointed towards the bench. When
he turned his head in that direction, she unexpectedly slapped his testicles

standing next by giggled at this monkey trick and his pal’s stupidity.
Linda now turned to him “Instead of acting goat, fetch my equipment basket from
the cabinet” and tossed her bunch of keys toward him. The moment he showed his good reflexes and caught the
keys in the air, she swiftly kicked him with a snap kick between his legs. She was again able
to gauge the kick, so her instep just grazed the bottom of his scrotum, not causing
serious pain but rather some discomfort. Now both guys were bending over with
some reproachful looks, anxiously covering their manhood with their hands with determination
they are not going to receive any more hits. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

behind them, and affectionately patted their heads “Sorry guys I just wanted to
show the girls…” before she finished the sentence, she suddenly dropped her
hands down and slapped both already disturbed young men’s ball sacks from
behind with something called a rear T-tap targeting the testicles’ back side which
remained completely unprotected. Although again a rather gentle hit they both
sprang forward like a bow. I could see Peter wanted to yell <i>bitch</i> at her
but maybe in fear of the possible consequences, he just very quietly mumbled it
to himself while trying to desperately drift out of her reach. Although mild, these
blows clearly caused the guys some discomfort. Linda kept smiling and finished
the sentence “...how to use distraction and deception!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

defense, psychological tools can be more powerful than physical capabilities. As you saw, I effectively used the element of surprise. I easily managed to put Bob and Peter off guard
by fooling them; poor boys did not expect what I am about to do and failed
completely to counteract. If they even slightly suspected my intentions, they
would be prepared and react differently and could block me in my action. They
already knew my hands and legs can be dangerous for their testicles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">To remove the male’s
natural consciousness around their testicles, the best is to create the
moment their mind is occupied either by distraction or deception. You possibly
heard that men are worse at multitasking than we are. They are also not very good at changing
their momentary mindsets from for instance sexual expectations and excitement
to fight readiness. So you have to diverge his focus, give him one task protecting
one of his vulnerabilities just to immediately explore his other one. The best
is to aim for the target far away from the testicles first, those located on the
face, and particularly the eyes are the best. There should be no telegraphing, the
move must come out of the blue. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">Besides
distraction, you can also use deception. There are many possible scenarios for how
to do it, it depends on the given situation. For instance, you can make him believe you cannot or are not going to
fight just to create a window of opportunity for an unexpected well-placed debilitating
blow. Or you can fake your interest or submit momentarily just to excite him,
change his focus, and make him undress. The moment you get good access to his
exposed genitals, do a number on his testicles. OK, that’s just a short
introduction to what you should know about the concept. You are now going to learn
it in practice with Bob and Peter. I prepared a little game for you…</span>” (to be

about female self defense. It was rather a brief segment. A female Krav Maga instructor
asked the show’s male host to play an attacker to demonstrate some basic moves.
Normally a very cocky personality, he suddenly became quite shy and made a face
when she said “…now knee the attacker in his groin” and her knee stopped just a
few centimeters from his (quite prominent) bulge. I think these popularizations
in public broadcastings are relevant, but unfortunately, often perpetuate some
misconceptions. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPccifEIHFXCPwUjhnPybHmxtDSJm5Zay4wOe2aTCB8b48XzPR87FZAWBQg-7g6cbldAT720ZS6JfzqCVyDiCyzhqLtgdhyjSYD3PYcN-l_9sNNn4sQivzBG3NcdM8u6SPx8k3v86sKTzf0RvZkLvQQETd5eamnF46-7RMwRsVYgooFMCeWKoHn0D6/s461/tv%20show.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="260" data-original-width="461" height="186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPccifEIHFXCPwUjhnPybHmxtDSJm5Zay4wOe2aTCB8b48XzPR87FZAWBQg-7g6cbldAT720ZS6JfzqCVyDiCyzhqLtgdhyjSYD3PYcN-l_9sNNn4sQivzBG3NcdM8u6SPx8k3v86sKTzf0RvZkLvQQETd5eamnF46-7RMwRsVYgooFMCeWKoHn0D6/w331-h186/tv%20show.png" width="331" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Using male hosts for demonstration of female self defense and <br />mentioning his testicles as a target can be a bit awkward. </td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>This time I will discuss an important aspect, and although
maybe it cannot be classified as a typical myth, it significantly affects female
self defense training. In one of my earlier posts, I already mentioned that one
of the continuing maladies within the self defense and martial arts community
is the inappropriate usage of the word <i>groin</i>. Why is it so important?
Because it is incorrect and misleading terminology, and the wrong terminology
means half-hearted and ineffectual training. If you looked up the word <i>groin</i>
in Wikipedia you would learn that:</p><p><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">In human
anatomy, the groin is the junctional area between the abdomen and the thigh on
either side of the pubic bone. This is also known as the medial compartment of
the thigh which consists of the adductor muscles of the hip or the groin
muscles.</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you see, anatomically, the groin is a relatively large
area of the human body and relates rather to the muscles forming this region.
However, the real and intended target located there are obviously the testicles
(although there are some exceptions I have not mentioned yet) and not any muscles
or connective tissue. Techniques such as the kick or knee to the groin should therefore
be referred to as the kick/knee to the testicles. The same for the hand-executed
techniques, an instruction ‘grab his groin’ does not explain that you have to
get his scrotum in a tight lock first, neither his penis nor the inner thigh or
the perineum. So why do we more often hear groin instead of testicles?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are many possible reasons. The main one is that self defense is
not a pretty topic and many instructors in order to avoid any awkwardness, use more neutral wording to soften the subject a little bit, not to scare away the
female course attendees. Yes, the testicles are male reproductive organs and understandably
having a casual talk about crushing them between the sturdy striking area of
the knee and the man’s pelvic floor on a morning TV show might be too much. A
more 'tactful' language conveniently does not cause embarrassment (although it apparently
still did to the show’s host <span face=""Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif">😊)</span>, it might not scare away the more sensitive and
lenient of us, but it also does not help us in learning self defense in the most
proper way and can be critically misleading with some deadly consequences. All
women and girls, similarly to me and my classmates in Linda’s course, should be
given precise information regardless of the sensitivity and controversiality of
the subject. Only then we will be able to bring down our attackers on their
knees, securely and in a blink of an eye. To properly kick, knee, or grab testicles,
women should understand this prime target well; they should learn not to aim
for the inner thigh, penis, or pubic region, they should know the location of
testicles depending on the clothing, state of arousal, and immediate
temperature and fully understand the desired trajectory and mechanics behind
each move and the physiological and psychological effect on an attacker. With a
very vague word <i>groin</i>, all of this is hardly possible.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

anything, nor she made any compromises in teaching us all the dirty tricks. She
did her best to be very exact and spot on, and she mainly used the medical
terms <i>testicles</i> and <i>scrotum</i>. On the other hand, I admit her
classes were also fun, and she did not refrain from using other metaphorical expressions,
especially if it helped with understanding and visualization of a
particular technique. <p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Although a serious subject, female self defense does not
need to be a sterile uptight activity, there is always room for using more
colloquial language. There has been already a very interesting discussion going
on in the blog comments and just to mention again that testicles can be called:
<i>eggs</i>, to signify their fragility, size, and shape; <i>nuts</i> because
of the crackability of testes or <i>jewels</i> being precious to the man and anxiously
protected; <i>balls </i>as a sports equipment when explaining kicking or
hitting or even <i>bells</i> when you need to 'ring the bell' he is about to do
something wrong. In addition, <i>sack</i>/<i>ball sack, bean bag,</i> or <i>pouch </i>can
be used for the scrotum when referring to this pendant wrinkly skin appendage.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So yes, there are plenty of synonyms and metaphors to choose
from. I found out that the English word <i>groin</i> is also used for coastal
structures built to prevent erosion of a beach. So maybe we should leave the <i>groin</i>

a lot of skills, but this tool prevents spoiling the dough with pieces of eggshells

firmly in the palm of your hand first and then smash it on some sharp edge, usually
a bowl to generate a crack while you separate the two halves with your fingers,
letting the content of the egg drop into a bowl or on a pan. In the egg cracker
device, this is done by these separate mechanical parts.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> By pressing the handle, she showed us what she means and continued.

mechanics: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>blunt support on one side and
a sharp blow with a pointy hard object on the other side. A man’s testis is like
a chicken egg by its shape and quite often also by size. Well, in some men the
size is closer to a quail egg.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> Linda smiled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Similarly, t</span><span lang="EN-US">he testis has also an

Peter sitting on a bench, playing with their smartphones waiting to be called to

your attacker quickly and securely. A young female hand is rarely sufficiently
strong to cause real testicular damage, yet to rupture the testes by squeezing.
Here comes the egg cracker technique. The prerequisite is that both of your hands
are free, and you have access to his genitals, but such a window of opportunity
likely occurs during a sex attack for example during forced oral sex.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

testicles. Look closely. I am grabbing the testicles with my left hand, securing
them in the palm but not enclosing them completely so that half of it remain exposed.
This will be the area to strike. Now with my right hand, I make a fist with the
index and middle fingers forming the letter V, knuckles pointing out.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> She explained further that knuckles are made of hard bone and therefore
provide a pointy and sturdy striking surface. Like a spear she mentioned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US">You can now charge
your hand and hit the testicles hard, in a way so one knuckle hits one testicle
and the other the second one. Do not hesitate to do it several times, with full
force for the best effect.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> She was then

sound with each hit. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US">And that’s it, your

gonads.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” Linda looked at us with a grin on her face and added “</span><span lang="EN-US">There are a lot of variations of this technique possible, you can
apply it on one testicle only or as a final move during GTP to maximize its
effect. The beauty of the technique is that the grab does not need to be
perfect, it just provides the back support so you can effectively perform it on
all types of scrota tight or loose, big or small even if the man is still
clothed. You will see the versatility once we practice with Bob and Peter. For

focusing on the training anymore she clapped her hands. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US">OK, enough, it is about time to show you the applicability and the

us. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When they approached us, Ana grabbed Linda’s egg cracker, raised it up for display,
so they see it, pressed the handle a few times letting out a squeaking sound,
and exclaimed </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US">Guys we are going to

had no idea what the metal device was, but let’s be honest its appearance is creepy,
so their faces expressed horror and confusion at the same time. Linda saw they became
scared and calmed them down. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span><span lang="EN-US">Don’t worry no

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Despite truthfully treating their genitals
(relatively) gently, it was still unnerving to see Linda using the young men’s
testicles (both clothed and naked) to demonstrate the versatility of this deadly
technique. Gladly she always managed to stop her strong fist right before
hitting the delicate target.

Well, it is always a busy time for me before the summer holiday, plus English
is not my native language so writing and replying to comments consumes a decent piece of my free time. Nevertheless,
it has been a long time since the last installment of the series about
kneeing so I thought I should continue with this highly interesting topic.</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyYTwSHmuSB52h6N9zItugaSD-5Ny9nN_N31pVahSO_cw9BVWqgS6AOtTORSB7wafo9pfSIemy7uIM_KpWMuAU7Peku6ojPGeo0xb3Tm-ykK0TyVr0q96GgDthexyAe1hgAQPgij3oDfT9zEDmWBjKFrHf9vhXEeLZWwGL6_QsRr2pLdAc8UJxsbzl/s600/Girl%20embarasment.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="344" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyYTwSHmuSB52h6N9zItugaSD-5Ny9nN_N31pVahSO_cw9BVWqgS6AOtTORSB7wafo9pfSIemy7uIM_KpWMuAU7Peku6ojPGeo0xb3Tm-ykK0TyVr0q96GgDthexyAe1hgAQPgij3oDfT9zEDmWBjKFrHf9vhXEeLZWwGL6_QsRr2pLdAc8UJxsbzl/w133-h232/Girl%20embarasment.png" width="133" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We had to go through some <br />awkward situations</td></tr></tbody></table>Quite hesitant, despite the tall tents pitched on the boy’s
shorts, we continued with the exercise according to Linda’s instructions. When
it was my turn with Bob and I slowly raised my knee and felt the area, I
immediately noticed the difference. What was before soft and wobbly, now became
firm, fixed, and clearly much more sensitive as evidenced by frequent sudden jolts
of Bob’s body even after relatively mild pushes with my kneecap. Suddenly my concentration
got interrupted by a loud whine from Tania, who covered her face with her hand
and turned around in disgust. The moment
I looked down I noticed a small wet spot of precum that appeared on Bob’s
shorts on the place his penis was projecting towards us. Soon Peter’s group was
evidently dealing with the same ‘problem’ as their loud chuckles got
intermitted by some sarcastic comments.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both boys tried to inconspicuously cover the result of the male
natural physiological reaction with their hands. They were blushing during the whole
exercise but now they become red as two boiled lobsters. Emma tried to mitigate
Bob’s embarrassment and gently caressed him on his shoulder to assure him that’s
perfectly normal, it is nothing to be ashamed of and he has our sympathy, and we
appreciate his dedicated involvement. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Despite the awkwardness of the situation, Linda, as always,
kept her poker face, acted like the whole thing was expected (well it was), and
clapped her hands <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>OK, that’s enough for now. I see you all have become
exhausted so let’s have a short break.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <o:p></o:p></p>

of the exercise after this delicate development. She then reached into her
basket and tossed a new pair of shorts toward Bob and Peter with an order they
should clean themselves in the bathroom and prepare for the next session. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After the break, we surrounded Linda on mats for a short
reflection on the previous activity and instructions on the next exercise. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Linda started her talk <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Girls, keep in mind there are two
key elements of kneeing you must master: precision and force. With this first exercise,
you just started to work on precision. Automated proper aiming is important and
is not easy to achieve without an understanding of the male anatomy and continuous
long-term practice. In the beginning, you all most likely went off the first
time, and your knee rather got to their upper thighs, pubes, or perineum, but by
utilizing visualization you improved with each new take until you could find
the right spot by heart. Shorter girls probably realized it is not easy to lift
the knee all the way up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“You also learned something important about the dynamics of the
testicle target and how it is affected by a given situation in this case a man’s
arousal. I guess you all noticed, at the beginning when the guys came from the
shower their testicles hung low. Probably you felt their flaccid penises on
your knees as well. Following arousal their scrotum sacks became tight, the
testicles got lifted up and their erect penises were no longer any obstacle to your
knee. For these reasons kneeing a man in the state of arousal is much easier. But
this was just the first of the series of exercises to master full proficiency
in correct aiming. Later I will tell you about some exercises you can practice at
home, so your targeting becomes automatic.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“The reason I gave the boys time for a little rest is that they
might experience something called ‘blue balls’. Have you heard about this effect before?” Linda
asked the girl audience. Susanne as a young medic
already knew and raised her hand.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiphfGFbu-xcA4KqSnkwm6Oht1xDdqV6ZYQoYbFpabLLlL6WnUsZgD05Ac2k6RBgIVID-nE9t7CTCljotyEDMjrG9av9HhvFpus8qmY4VZPCv9lbnjbZusK1FVOtfgEMULgqdjeS7OoMJtkgduhTvIG3ay2uu6SdwDylgZffkAU2wDvcdmeKXrN7S4c/s450/blue%20balls.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="299" data-original-width="450" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiphfGFbu-xcA4KqSnkwm6Oht1xDdqV6ZYQoYbFpabLLlL6WnUsZgD05Ac2k6RBgIVID-nE9t7CTCljotyEDMjrG9av9HhvFpus8qmY4VZPCv9lbnjbZusK1FVOtfgEMULgqdjeS7OoMJtkgduhTvIG3ay2uu6SdwDylgZffkAU2wDvcdmeKXrN7S4c/w249-h166/blue%20balls.png" width="249" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Blue balls can be sensitive</td></tr></tbody></table>Linda called her on. Always ready to show her medical knowledge
Susanne explained to us “Colloquially called blue balls, in medical terms epididymal
hypertension, is a condition when testicles get engorged by the blood flow during
arousal which stays accumulated if there is no release by orgasm and
ejaculation. Apparently, it can be a quite painful experience for men but
should dissipate relatively quickly.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I immediately wanted to ask… but Ana was faster and inquired with
a high level of curiosity <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Do they really turn blue?<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Well, indeed, they can get a bluish hue. That’s
because of all the blood in the scrotum<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> explained Susanne to her less
educated friend. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Can we see it on our guys?<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> Ana now turned to Linda. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But this time Linda resolutely declined the request. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>I
think it was enough for the boys for today, you can test it with your
boyfriends if you want.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> We all sighed in disappointment. Most of us, including me,
have never heard about this condition and wanted to see it in real. But you
know me, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just could not get the idea
out of my head, I was just thinking I should really try it out with Tom this coming
evening. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

we will start with the second key aspect, and it is the force. Not enough force,
little effect on a man.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She then added <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>An
accelerated woman’s knee can exert a pressure up to 20 kilonewtons. This is more
than enough to rupture a testicle, but not all women have this capability without
proper training. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, now on we should work
on your muscles of the upper leg which are the most involved in the upward movement
of your knee.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> She went with her hand along her thigh so we can notice that
area; hers was nicely formed after regular workouts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Linda got on her feet and started to build a setup by hanging
a heavy leather speedbag on the rope from a crane at the height of the testicles
of an average man. I noticed Bob and Peter returned from the bathroom and inquisitively
watched Linda’s preparation…</p>

and it means time for the annual spring cleaning! Not only cleaning our apartment
which was, after all the lockdowns, in a total mess but also cleaning the mind.
While I was removing dust from some old things in cupboards I came across a
small replica of David from Michelangelo. It was a gift from my aunt when she was
traveling to Italy, sadly she passed away a couple of years ago. I used to have
it on display, but it always triggered some giggles and female banter on penis
sizes causing some awkward situations especially when male visitors were also
around, so I decided to take it out of sight. It is pity because I like the
little statue so much. I like the curly hair and nicely build body in a fighting
stance. </div><p></p><p><span lang="EN-US">Holding this little statue in my hands brought back some memories of my
aunt. When I was an inexperienced teen, she gave me some pieces of advice on dating and relationships
with men. Among many of her wisdom one
stuck in my head, she used to say </span><span lang="EN-US">“</span><span lang="EN-US">A man’s heart and his balls break
easily, be careful with those.</span><span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span><span lang="EN-US">. While recalling memories from the past, I was cleaning the dust from the statue’s tiny male parts carefully and gently, like they were real
testicles.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWOEuRmIMIq_Wk6DHdAaJuM4aIn9OlM9GtxctqNhXD4_ENAhgiXDEswRF5z48xEJsD1GcPxK0EElcd3mzX0A05QkoUDgi0O-JiH3hzQjRot4QAsk8uZBUhpu5sIFD0m47mKXm-N73IPftVLTTnVe6T5UqHtmutzd-dP8wAbNBu43tbi-ddGxZn8wz/s629/Vitruvian%20Man%20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="598" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWOEuRmIMIq_Wk6DHdAaJuM4aIn9OlM9GtxctqNhXD4_ENAhgiXDEswRF5z48xEJsD1GcPxK0EElcd3mzX0A05QkoUDgi0O-JiH3hzQjRot4QAsk8uZBUhpu5sIFD0m47mKXm-N73IPftVLTTnVe6T5UqHtmutzd-dP8wAbNBu43tbi-ddGxZn8wz/w218-h230/Vitruvian%20Man%20.jpg" width="218" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Genitals as the center of the male body</td></tr></tbody></table>Renaissance
art is so beautiful, the artists resurrected the ancient Greece aesthetics,
they were not ashamed to show the male body in its purest form. Although David’s
penis is cutely small—our art teacher said a small penis represented decency
and good manners—his testicles are of normal size, very anatomically correctly
shown with the left one being a little bit bigger and hanging slightly lower. They
are presented proudly, uncovered as an essential part of his torso. It reminded
me of another Renaissance piece, Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci. It is a famous
study of the human body proportion. The genitals clearly represent the center of
the male body; it somehow signifies their importance to the man. Why am I
telling you all of this?</div><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">With this
post, I would like to debunk another self defense myth that seeks to discourage
women to target testicles by saying that testicles are not easily accessible and
a target difficult to aim for. If we look at David or Vitruvian Man, their
reproductive glands are positioned in the center of their body, hanging outside
not protected by any muscles, bones, or cartilage, but by their penises and the
thin scrotum skin. Is it a very small target? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surely not a huge one, but testicles’ surface area
is similar to any other prime target; are eyes or Adam’s apple any bigger? Its position
in the center of the body makes the testicles a very convenient target for
attacks either with hands or legs from most positions: standing, sitting, or on
the ground. In some situations, a woman can even use her head, elbows, or butt. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Testicles are approximately on the same level as hands, so regardless of the type
of attack: a GTP, punch, or a chop with the ridge of the hand, or the position of
the attacker: standing in front or behind you, it is extremely easy to get to
them, without needing to generate much of a movement and it happens in the periphery of his eyesight.
Hence, such an attack can be quick and non-telegraphed. This contrasts with the
techniques using the hand for instance to attack points on the face when the
woman’s hand often needs to go all the way up giving the attacker a chance to
react and block it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">When
attacking testicles with the knee, this does not need to go on a very long trajectory;
just quickly and sharply lifting the knee enables it to gain enough acceleration
and power for a deadly strike. When front kicking with your foot, the testicle is
the target closest to you when he is in the most distant position. Moreover, his
thighs will ‘guide’ your foot to the right spot. The same is true for a back kick with your heel. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If choosing to kick the shin or
kneecap you might not get enough room for sufficient acceleration and force and kicks ‘above the belt’ or even high kicks to the head are not suitable
for female self defense; let’s leave those for action movies. I am not saying a
woman should forget other vital points of the male body, there are some other valuable
besides testicles, and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Linda’s course
covered those in detail as well. In conclusion, attacking testicles is by no
means bulletproof but saying it is a hard target has nothing to do with reality;
just looking at classic statues or your naked male partner should clearly tell
you otherwise.</span></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com68tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-38554435232423169712022-05-07T02:45:00.000-07:002022-06-16T03:27:54.519-07:00One ring 💍 to rule them all!<p>Maybe I disappoint all Tolkien fans among readers of this blog,

attacker’s testicles in a tight lock and secure the grip with her hand so they
cannot slip away. This can be effectively done by encircling your thumb and
forefinger like you would be making an OK sign as close to the body as possible
creating a really tight ring. If you
imagine, testicles are formed by a skin sack—scrotum which contains two egg-shaped
glans testes. Enclosing the root of the scrotum and the spermatic cords
basically separate the testes from the body and they snugly come in the palm of
your hand. It’s like putting a padlock on the testicles. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always, in reality, it is not as easy as it sounds. One
of the limiting factors is the size of the woman’s hand, but it also strongly
depends on whether the attacker’s testicles hang low or are tightly packed
(naturally, because of low temperature or man’s arousal). When the testicles
are small, the lock can be applied to the whole scrotum. Quite often because of
the circumstances such as a small woman’s hand and/or sizeable testicles, targeting
a single testicle should be preferred. In this case, you should use your thumb
or the forefinger (depending on the angle of the attack, and whether using your
left or right hand) to push it between the testicles to separate them first, and
then use the other finger to finalize the deadly ring around the top of the
testicle. Choose the testicle hanging lower (usually the left one). In the case,
that the attacker has a tight ball sack you have to push both fingers forcefully
inside the pubic floor to effectively fish out the testes. Keep in mind that on how
successful this first step is, depends the accomplishment of the
following actions such as twisting, squeezing, and pulling. So it is important
not to rely on just light grabbing. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

pry your hand out of him but once you apply the lock properly his effort is to
no avail, any movement on his or your part just increases the pressure and causes
a painful tug on his sensitive organ(s). It is imperative not to lose the clutch
and with all your might keep the fingers as rigidly fastened as possible. In Susan
Smith’s book Fear or Freedom, you can see a very good illustration of the proper application of the locking
mechanism. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you can see it is not a trivial move and Linda was very particular
that we understand the principle and practice this thoroughly so we can execute
it effectively when desperately needed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I mentioned before Linda sought to relate the principle
of the techniques to known things and common activities. When explaining to us this step she asked us <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Have you seen milking a cow in real?<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all shook our heads no. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Aaah,
I see, city girls!<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> Linda smiled. She then played us a video on her tablet depicting
milking a cow. A young female farmer was grasping a teat and squeezing milk out
into a bucket in quick successive movements. <o:p></o:p></p>

testicle. Look how the girl forms the ring up as close to the udder as possible
and then pushes down. It is like you want to desperately push the rest of the
paste out from a tube. In this case, she squeezes out the milk. Pinching or grabbing
just the tip of the teat would not work.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Obviously, we did not have a cow at disposal in our dojo,
but as always fake <a href="https://lastresortselfdefense.blogspot.com/2020/10/testicle-props.html" target="_blank">silicone testicles</a> came in very handy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Linda held the toy with her left hand on one
end and with her right hand, she slowly put the thinner area above the testicles
into a lock by forming the OK sign and enclosing her fingers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>You see these bits now cannot escape regardless
of how hard I pull or try to wiggle them out.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She rotated her hands so we can see it from
all angles. She continued <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Now, I have them secured in my hand and I can easily crush
them to a pulp with the combination of the strength of my palm and the fingers
as we did with the two walnuts exercise.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As always, she wouldn’t let us go without trying out the ‘technique
of the day’ on a real set of testicles. And we all were in great anticipation as
we knew this is going to be hilarious. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Are
we going to milk our guys?<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> asked Laura sarcastically. Emma added immediately <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>If
so, we need a basket and an apron.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">We all burst into laughter including Bob and Peter standing
close by, who started to blush cutely.
Linda did not like this kind of pubertal banter in her course. She
rolled her eyes like she is over this, but I could see a little smirk on her
face “Stop
it, this is a serious business.” Obviously, our darling attackers were
a little bit hesitant to step in. So,
she stood behind them gently pushed them forward, patted both on their shoulders,
and asked them “Gentlemen, will you be so kind as to show us your testicles?...” </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com85tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-12354386049212735162022-04-07T23:53:00.000-07:002022-04-07T23:56:12.770-07:00Interview with Linda (part 3)<p class="MsoNormal">For the last couple of days, I have been working on the translation
of Linda’s interview. In this part, we will learn more about Linda’s principles
and philosophy in teaching self defense to young women. It is a very
enlightening reading. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Linda, what do you think makes your course different than
the others?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think you are going to be surprised by the answer. My
course is free of charge and is led by a woman, and this makes a whole lot of
difference. There are many different courses out there, the dojo owners all
brag about how great a job they do, they do not teach any bullshit like the
others, they are realistic, simple, etc. However, keep in mind that these are
commercial projects with money-making as their prime focus. Women’s actual
needs are not on the top of the list of priorities. How a course can be called
‘reality based’ if you use a heavily padded model attacker with restricted
movement hardly reacting to any hits. <o:p></o:p></p>

arts, they always think that just adapting the martial art they are familiar
with is enough and can be taught to women. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although few ‘experts’ would still argue that learning
Judo or Karate is sufficient self defense training, this type of thinking unfortunately
remains. My system is not based on any martial art, just the research I and my
peers have done with a strong focus on simplicity and effectiveness.<div><br /><div>In other
systems, there is also too much emphasis on basic or first response techniques
and very little, if anything, on last resort self defense. This is maybe
appropriate when teaching men but is poor when teaching tactical strategies to young
women. Female self defense is not a contest but rather a fight for survival in
which one of the opponents is limited by a smaller size and weaker strength and
this must be taken into account and balanced out. In my opinion, many courses
provide just a false sense of security rather than true empowerment which is absolutely
needed.<o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Can you tell us more about why teaching last resort self defense
is important? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is this flawed idea that the scope of a self defense course
should not go beyond wrist lock releases, punches to the nose, or elbow to the
stomach. It somehow implies telling: <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>So, the wrist lock release did not
work, now expect to be raped, we did not teach you what to do next.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> An
attacker with his pants down and his genitals exposed is much more vulnerable
and defeatable than the moment he just jumped out of bushes doped with adrenaline.
A state-of-the-art course should cover all the situations and stages of a sex
attack and should focus on techniques and strategies, even a petite girl can do
before the worst happens. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many trainers feel uncomfortable going into more sensitive
and touchy subjects. For a male teacher, it might be awkward to talk about his
own male parts and how vulnerable they are. For this reason, the best is when a
female teaches other females, this way one can also avoid any unwanted sexual backdrops.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, I often read a very stupid argument that learning
self defense is worthless because women are in majority attacked by someone
they know. The self defense techniques I teach can be used in different
situations and against anybody, including an abusive husband or boyfriend. All
men have Adam’s apple and testicles. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Can you explain to the readers what are the main
principles of your system?<o:p></o:p></b></p>

execution. If in a sticky situation a woman should follow the ‘4D’ principle
which comes in sequence: decision, deterrence, deception, and determination. The ‘decision’ means to learn to make the right
decision at a given moment. For instance, running away can be the best option
in some instances. Freezing can be a problem, but I also teach how to overcome
this through some mental training.</div><div><br /></div><div>If immediate escape or alerting the crowd is
not possible a woman might decide on deterrence at different levels. Depending
on the seriousness of the situation she can use some psychological tools or
less serious techniques such as ‘fire quenchers’. A deception should follow if
everything failed so far, the aim is to make the attacker off guard and his
targets exposed. Using trickery is key in manipulating the attacker to a
position he becomes vulnerable and creating a window of opportunity for the execution
of a debilitating counterstrike. Momentary cooperating, making him remove his
pants, and gently touching his genitals can be a prelude to the most serious no-fail
techniques. This should be done with a determination which is an important
component when resorting to physical resistance; it has to be done with full
force, violently, and without hesitation. </div><div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The aim is to subdue the attacker
till he is no threat to you. The attack should be targeted at the three most
sensitive targets: his eyes, Adam’s apple, and testicles, the best in a
sequence BCD: ‘Blind him, choke him, desex him!’ Sometimes it is necessary to
make him pass out. This can be done for instance by stomping sharply between
the attacker’s splayed legs so there is no doubt he will stay down, and you can
make your way out to safety. This is rarely taught in any other courses.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>However, there has been a controversy about how you teach
these techniques…<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How would one expect women to learn something when they
cannot try it out during training? Nobody ever learned a new language just by
listening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So why should we, for
instance, teach a lifesaving technique such as GTP just by saying You know, BTW
you can also grab his groin? And the only time a would-be victim would execute
or at least try it is in the most stressful life-threatening situation. It is
then too late to figure out how it is actually done properly. I understand that
the readers have some concerns about our male assistants. Pain and occasional
embarrassment are a small price they have to pay. There are higher stakes than
that for women not provided with the ability to defend themselves.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Once you told us that the female self defense training should involve both
psychological and physical aspects. What are the psychological aspects?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The road to mastering the art of self defense starts in the
head. Women are naturally non-violent lenient creatures; they do not want to
hurt anybody. The psychological component of my training is to change their
mindset to find inner aggression and unleash it when needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I aim to accomplish true female empowerment and to build self-confidence. That’s why I insist any woman should try out the techniques as close to reality
as possible, including those that are normally taught just orally such as
attacks on testicles. Not only does a woman memorize it well, but she can more
easily repeat it when really needed. It leaves a deep imprint in her mind: <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>I
managed to take down a training assistant, I can do it again in real life and
it works.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal">But still, I often have difficulties convincing some girls to go full force. I
often hear <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Linda,
but this might permanently maim the attacker! I don’t want to castrate him!<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> I
explain to them, that in this horrible situation they should not worry if they
injure him, even if they castrate him. Their goal is to get away from the
situation using whatever it takes, even if it means castration. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tell them <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Think for a moment, you are
not only saving yourself but potentially any other girl in the future.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> I
wish the girls leave my course not just as course graduates but as true female
warriors. <b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

techniques and getting the appropriate knowledge and skills. It should not end
after a lesson or after a course. I
always tell my students that staying fit and physically active is not only
healthy and for good looks but increases your chances of a successful encounter
with a violent dangerous man. I suggest building a dummy out of pillows with
attached testicles made from a sock with rubber balls and keep practicing daily
at home things that you have learned in the course. </div><div><br /></div><div>Doing punches, kicks, knees,
gouging eyes, and grabbing testicles regularly increase movement memory and are
a good workout improving physical capabilities. Too lazy or tired for a day? Use
the time to keep your grip strong by squeezing stress balls or fake testicles
while watching Netflix or reading the news. You can also involve your partner

Success stories, examples, and videos are another
important part of my training; it makes self defense training less abstract and
more relatable. Although I aim to rather keep a serious tone, it makes a lot of fun, girls
love it. It is not uncommon that girls starting applauding when I read a story
from a newspaper about a young girl who sent her attacker to a hospital with a ruptured
testicle. A home video or an MMA match of some accidents involving men’s most
sensitive parts is sometimes more convincing than 1000 words and helps with
overcoming the psychological barriers I talked about before.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>I have to say I learned a lot about male anatomy in the

the knowledge of the anatomy of the male body and particularly its most
vulnerable spots. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Know your enemy from head to toe!<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> is another essential principle
of my system. Physically but also psychologically. It means not only weak
points on his body but also in his mind! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Girls say they learned more on this topic than
in their sex-ed and biology classes. They are university freshwomen, not that
sexually experienced yet, so it really counts. Most are amazed at how fragile
and also variable male genitals are, and they learn what is the significance for self
defense. Again, this topic should not be
taught only theoretically but practically as well. That is why Bob and Peter and
other male assistants come in so handy… <o:p></o:p><p></p>

posts. However, I found some time this week and today I continue with a series
of posts in which I would like to look more closely at some of the myths and
misconceptions often perpetrated in the self defense and martial arts community,
and particularly those related to the testicles as a target. In one of my
earlier entries, I already touched upon some of those controversial issues, but
recently I realized some topics require more attention and a deeper discussion.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, I would like to note that this ‘debunking’ will be
backed by some extensive and thorough research in this area done by Linda and partially
also by me. So, most of the information I will present in these posts is well
supported by scientific data, not just anecdotal evidence, or someone’s opinion.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first myth I would like to discuss in this series is
that any hits to the testicles are not that painful, the effect is always
exaggerated in the movies, it can be shrugged off easily and, in the end, it
will just make him angry, and therefore is better to aim for… <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The roots of these claims are often deeply embedded in denialism
of the existence of any male weak spot stemming from the male gender self-indulged assertion of dominance and physical superiority. When I became more interested in female self defense
I soon realized men are much more comfortable in exposing and presenting pressure
points shared between female and male bodies (e.g. eyes, knees) but
subconsciously avoid highlighting any male-specific target area. This could be because
of their qualms to expose their own vulnerability or simply this topic, in
general, creates some kind of natural embarrassment or awkwardness for a man.
For this reason, it is always better to have a lead female self-defense instructor
and male assistants as model attackers. Although extremely interesting, I don’t
want to discuss the roots of this myth in this post further and leave it for
later, so back to the main point of this post.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of you would maybe ask why this topic is so important. Well,
the purpose of physical self-defense is to eliminate the ability of an attacker
to continue his attack either by causing him intensive pain and/or shutting
down his vital functions (breathing, seeing) and/or his ability to move (e.g. by
breaking his knee) or via a psychological effect resulting in defusing the escalated
situation or preventing further aggression. Well executed attacks on testicles generate
not only sharp pain and physical ‘shut down’ but also affect the mental state of
an attacker. So any defensive technique that with a little effort, skills or strength would
result in these effects is a preferred defense maneuver of any woman, regardless
of her physical capabilities. So are testicles
indeed so sensitive, do they hurt so much if hit or is it just an exaggeration of
the moviemakers or wishful thinking of female self defense instructors?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To understand the best would be to start with the anatomy
and physiology of the testicles. Testes are glands of inner secretion that
during the human evolution appeared outside the male body pouched in the scrotum
(not all males in the animal kingdom have testicles in the same awkward
position). So if for instance ovaries were positioned in some funny floppy skin
sacks on the body, one can be pretty sure they would be a super-sensitive
target as well, but luckily for us women it did not happen<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span>. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Testes are covered by thousands of pain receptors and nerve endings. Their
purpose is to signal the owner the danger of damage to these two vital organs.
And they can be damaged easily because they hang outside and are not covered by
any bones or a strong layer of muscles. Men
often report so-called referred pain, especially in the stomach area. This is because
during development testicles descend from the abdominal cavity to the
scrotum but remain connected via the spermatic plexus with the whole sympathetic nervous system. I am a woman so I cannot describe the testicular pain. Some compare the intensity
to childbirth, but I have not delivered a baby yet so again I cannot tell. The best is to listen/read about it from guys
themselves.</p><p class="MsoNormal">This <a href="https://www.elitedaily.com/humor/guys-hit-in-the-balls/1359070" target="_blank">website</a> collected accounts of 15 young men who describe what
they feel when being hit in the testicles. Some descriptions are quite metaphoric
but quite telling <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span> they all report gut-wrenching pain they do
not want to experience again.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This excellent <a href="https://allisonsselfdefense.wordpress.com/2018/10/20/the-journey-begins/#comments" target="_blank">blog</a> from Allison Gibbons and this educational <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfYgQQ_lN2k" target="_blank">video</a> from
a urologist Dr. Rena Malik describes in detail the medical details of the testicular
pain response, and why there is such a plethora of physiological effects and
trauma on the male.</p>

real, and such a unique opportunity is provided by MMA matches. Neither I nor Tom is a big fan of this type of
entertainment but researching groin shots always refer you to numerous videos
of mishaps in MMA fights. Linda also recommended watching these videos to get an
idea. I guess the very wild nature of
the fighting style inevitably results in occasional accidental (or nonaccidental?)
hits to the testicles usually by a foot or knee. Here is one of the
compilations on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXziWc8Uus4" target="_blank">Youtube</a>. Many of those strikes do not even seem to be that powerful, yet
they act as an instant fight stopper, and I guess those fighters are tough men,
high on adrenaline and used to pain. Sometimes it seems a good kick or knee to
the testicles just accelerates the gravitational force around the man and he
drops down immediately like a sack of potatoes.</div><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From these examples, one can see that the immediate reaction
of a man is to bend over, fall on the floor, and assign a fetal position. Medical
records report systemic effects on the body such as all-consuming pain in
different body parts, nausea, convulsing, drowsiness, sweating, and increased
heart rate. Vomiting and passing out is not uncommon after
more serious impacts or techniques. In some cases, the attack on testicles can trigger
a neurogenic shock and even death. But this rather happens in men with serious heart
issues. Notably, men with hurt testicles are usually unable to continue with
any sexual activities which is a side effect especially important during a rape
attempt. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

used. I already mentioned fire quenchers such as groin slap, which serve as a
milder reminder of his wrongdoing till determined counterattacks during
rape/murder attempts such as GTP which can lead to serious permanent damage - testicular rupture or torsion.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I know that many of the male readers will be upset, but if you
still have doubts try an experiment for yourself. If you have a boyfriend or husband and you are
dealing with his naked lovemaking tools (e.g. during oral sex) try to flick his
testicles very gently with your fingers (note I say gently!) and watch his reaction.
I guarantee he will feel it and react to it. But don’t worry, the pain should
dissipate completely in a couple of minutes and you can continue with
lovemaking. I know what I am talking
about as I tried that on Tom. He still thinks it was an accident though<span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span>. Now
imagine what a serious defensive technique would do to a man.</div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Admittedly, some men are naturally less prone to these
effects, and it is possible that some of such instances might actually add to
the myth, but this is a minority. Interestingly, Shaolin monks often condition themselves
and ‘harden’ their testicles. Think, they would not do it if testicles were not their vulnerable
spot! But it is highly unlikely you are going to encounter a Shaolin monk outside
Asia <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif;">😊</span>. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">As with other techniques, nothing is bulletproof, and as I said
numerous times the techniques have to be taught properly and executed properly,
without hesitation and telegraphing. However, it is extremely empowering and
revealing to get knowledge about the sensitivity of testicles and the option we have when defending ourselves. It constitutes one
of the pillars of effective female self defense training, but unfortunately, it
is still often ignored or shrouded in myths. I am glad it was not the case having Linda as our self defense guru.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com114tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-34431179745978336412022-01-30T12:54:00.001-08:002022-01-30T12:56:21.603-08:00To quench a fire🧯: groin slap <p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-BH7k-1_Fvs8X18coy_pye4gERuJiUx4jLBL4NbBJSX5z9ivqTuHZUj8g0DWQT_iufuhx5dHkCmFEHqfSEwJzkJm7CtrZisFubI1O9HOmDoqu0AB8ieU0XhxPlR2CIB_Zvu9BWCGKD7mKhR_VwOwog5CIbXBATCUCTx4ME3Juk1qAehNO6AWnUbG1=s450" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="450" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg-BH7k-1_Fvs8X18coy_pye4gERuJiUx4jLBL4NbBJSX5z9ivqTuHZUj8g0DWQT_iufuhx5dHkCmFEHqfSEwJzkJm7CtrZisFubI1O9HOmDoqu0AB8ieU0XhxPlR2CIB_Zvu9BWCGKD7mKhR_VwOwog5CIbXBATCUCTx4ME3Juk1qAehNO6AWnUbG1=w279-h185" width="279" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Groin slap effectively 'quench the fire' in<br />case of unwanted sexual advances </td></tr></tbody></table></p><div style="text-align: left;">Since I started this blog, some of you might have got the
impression I only advocate for the most brutal response to any type of attack. However,
Linda’s course was not only about last resort self defense. She did teach us awareness
and avoidance, as well as less violent methods of deterrence. These can be used
in not overly dangerous or life-threatening situations for instance if your new
date is too overzealous and pushes you to something you do not want, or your horny
colleague is making unwanted sexual advances. Unlike for instance kneeing the
testicles, there is little risk of a serious injury. Linda called these
techniques ‘fire-quenchers’. Al Marrewa in his self defense book ‘The feminine
warrior’ refers to them as ‘attention-getters’. </div><div style="text-align: left;">He tells a very interesting
story demonstrating their applicability in real-life scenarios:</div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Elizabeth was in a crowded elevator when a man standing
behind groped her between the legs. She could have responded with verbal self
defense but decided to use an attention-getter instead. With his body pressed
against her, she knew exactly where he was. So without turning to look at him,
Elizabeth reached behind her and slapped the man’s groin. He grabbed his crotch
and actually fell to his knees (he was also humiliated in front of others). The
doors opened moments later, and Elizabeth calmly left the elevator. Her
aggressor was still on his knees, moaning in pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></p>

effective attention-getters—the groin slap. It was not
missing in Linda’s portfolio of techniques either. She told us why it is so
useful and should be in every girl’s arsenal. The woman’s hand is always
in the same level and the proximity of the groin of an approached attacker. It
can be used, as Elizabeth did when he is standing behind you as well. The groin
slap should be done as a non-telegraphed, surprise attack, it is then very difficult
to block or evade it. Once the attacker buckles reflexly, you can follow by
striking him on his neck with your elbow and pushing him forward ideally to make him slump on
the floor or into the wall. </div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifqVCP47-YFdHFKNjG6D7HMs8tT80AwI4T-lwuW8sJrXP_ClwBborD-uXFynOhb19tIhvxBdmr0k0eOVB05RAhkWXpFP19AE2D77VRJ2N3czWieWXsRbI4Q0n3qGpz2ZJlRbSAc4kuA-5rGdbABsbRDH12eP2fIhveIhPF0Gxxe3pt1U1LAxiYm-Gl=s394" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="394" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEifqVCP47-YFdHFKNjG6D7HMs8tT80AwI4T-lwuW8sJrXP_ClwBborD-uXFynOhb19tIhvxBdmr0k0eOVB05RAhkWXpFP19AE2D77VRJ2N3czWieWXsRbI4Q0n3qGpz2ZJlRbSAc4kuA-5rGdbABsbRDH12eP2fIhveIhPF0Gxxe3pt1U1LAxiYm-Gl=w218-h162" width="218" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Slapping testicles is similar to scooping water </td></tr></tbody></table>Linda sought to explain the principle of
the defensive moves by relating them to the things and activities we were
already familiar with. In this case, she said: <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“</span>Do you remember when during
summer you jumped into a lake or sea, and you got into a fight with someone by
splashing water at each other? You firmly pressed the fingers together, so your
hand formed a cup which you used in sharp and quick swinging motions to scoop as
much water as possible towards your opponent? The groin slap is based on
similar mechanics, but instead of water, you are scooping up the attacker’s
testicles.<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal">For a perfect execution, it is important to remember these
points: The striking area is your fingers. The palm of your hand or the heel
of your hand should not be preferred for this as the whole hand cannot penetrate easily
between the thighs. A larger area also dissipates the force upon the impact. On
the other hand, fingers pressed together form a sturdy spear-like structure. Sudden sharp contact with a pointy striking area makes it count. It
is important to note that, unlike when kicking or kneeing which rely on an
upward movement, the penis does provide relatively good protection against
slapping. So you should avoid striking just the front of his groin or in a downward

<p class="MsoNormal">Linda demonstrated the proper execution of the groin slap on
our kicking dummy with fastened silicone testicles. I remember how each slap
produced a thud sound and the silicone testicles bounced erratically evidencing
a spot-on hit. Linda then let us practice on the kicking dummy, and once she
saw we got it right we step into training in pairs with Bob and Peter. We made two
girls only and two mixed pairs, but we were supposed to rotate to give every girl a
chance to practice with a boy. Linda told the girl ‘attackers’ to put two balls of crumpled
paper in their gym shorts to simulate the testicles. We trained the groin slap alone first and then the whole
sequence ‘slap-hit with the elbow-push forward’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because of the relative mildness of this move, it was actually the first
time we could try out a technique on our darling attackers without them wearing
any protection. However, we were supposed to 'deaccelerate' our hand right before
hitting the target, which is of course not fully possible due to the gained
momentum of our hand. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the poor boys were
occasionally hopping in pain, groaning and clutching their manhood, while the
girls with paper balls were just giggling as it rather tickled their girly
parts and felt a bit weird. Sometimes the surrealism of Linda’s course was indisputable...<o:p></o:p></p>

protection in many men’s sports, one commenter made a very harsh comment I
should not stick my nose in men’s business but rather do something more feminine,
for instance ballet. This comment just got me. Actually, I did take ballet
classes when I was a teenager. Well not for long, I soon realized that neither
do I possess enough talent nor the necessary endurance to continue.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

Any aspiring ballerina or danseur
learns from the beginning one of the basic rules of ballet—pain means gain. Forgoing bodily comfort and embracing pain as a part of the training is essential to
achieve the desired goal, in this case a flawless performance. In the comments
we already touched upon the so-called ‘sympathy pain’ men feel when seeing
other men being hit in the testicles. Honestly, I feel something similar when
watching the party scene from the movie Titanic when Rose (played by great Kate
Winslet) got <i>en pointe</i> just in her pantyhose.</div><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I got a backlash from some of the commenters when I wrote
that Peter and Bob offered their bodies, often without any protection to us
girls for achieving realism in our self defense training and some argued that
the pain they inevitably experienced (including the testicular pain) was not
justified. Here I ask the question why an artistic performance is worth the
pain more than the ability of young women to defend themselves in a life-threating
situation.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I quitted ballet soon after I started, but my dear friend Amalie
continued in her endeavor to become a professional ballerina. She studied an academy
of performing arts and now has a contract in a ballet company. When we meet
from time to time for a chat, she tells me a plenty of interesting stories, so I
got a quite some insight from the professional ballet world. I wanted to see
her in The Nutcracker so badly just before Christmas, but it was cancelled due
to another covid wave. It is so sad how this pandemic took a toll on some professions.

If you haven’t noticed yet,
male ballet dancers do protect their testicles. Not only from the injury but
also from the sight of spectators. They wear a special garment called the dance
belt. In a way it is similar to the jock strap I already talked about before, but
in a form of a thong. It has multiple functions both protective and aesthetic. When
wore correctly, it lifts the male genitals up and onto the body and holds the testicles
in the front and the penis pointed upwards.</div><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Amalie explained me it is not a very comfortable piece to
wear. Her dancing partner and her boyfriend is always relieved when he can take
it off. Although not very convenient, without it any routine would be difficult
or maybe not possible at all. Why to keep the male organs in such an awkward
position? Well surprisingly the worse enemy for a danseur’s testicles is his limbs.
Hanging loose, the testes would be frequently crushed between the thighs. And a
danseur should fully focus on the dance not on his aching balls. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When Tom learned that I attended the ballet classes in the
past, he started to brag in front of his friends he dates a ballerina. This is
of course bullshit; I hardly remember the basic positions. Last time he
demanded I show him some steps. I promised to do so only if he tries to do a <i>changement
</i>completely naked for me in return. Well, not that easy move for a beginner
but even more difficult with a swinging tender scrotum between the legs <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I expected, he ended up upset on our sofa ‘manspread’, giving his baby makers a bit of rest, and angrily commented <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>What
a stupid activity, this should be done by women only.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> I just laughed, patted him on
his head and told him <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>My dear Tom, I told you, pain means gain, and not only
the pain here.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pointed with my index
on my toes. <o:p></o:p></p>

quite uncomfortable, however, some of the most dangerous situations for the
testicles happen during <i>pas de deux,</i> the dancing in pairs. For instance,
when a ballerina does a <i>pirouette </i>and her knee spins around in a great
speed very closely to the danseur bulged-out testicles. Look at the GIF how
the danseur is focused when performing this routine. At this point a sudden loss
of balance or misestimation of the distance can result in a horrible injury. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another risky move are lifts. In this case a ballerina’s leg travels up and down inconveniently close to the man’s most sensitive parts. Any momentary
hesitation or loosing the firm hold and her leg instead off the ground meets the
danseur’s bulge. In the GIF below you can see such an accident. Luckily, this
time the ballerina’s foot missed the partners groin by just a couple of
centimeters. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Amalie told me in her ballet company they have a nickname for such
an accident, they called it the nutcracker <span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">😊</span>. So now you know The Nutcracker is not only
the famous ballet piece I miss so badly because of the pandemics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Amalie also mentioned that these mishaps rarely
happen during the actual performances but are quite common when rehearsing. The
more inexperience the dancers are, the higher likelihood and frequency of such fails.

master in the groin when she was practicing the<i> grand battement </i>at<i> barre.
</i>It is a move involving quick swings of the straight leg forward, sidewise and
backwards. Unknowingly she is about to practice this move, he approached her to
ask something when she suddenly thrusted her leg backwards and in her words <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>My
heel just lifted him up off the ground by his balls. It was so funny as he was
trying to keep composure and pretending like nothing serious happened, but it
was obvious he was in great pain. I felt so sorry for him; he lost all his

self defense course. As all ballerinas she is beautiful with a perfect body, so
she receives a lot of unwanted attention. She was thinking some of the techniques
are similar to the ballet steps and it would not be difficult to learn them at
all. She also added, <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Well, I don’t need to be taught about the sensitivity of
the testicles this I know already.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> We started to laugh so loudly that
the all the café guests’ eyes were on us.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Back to the topic of this post. It is important to note that
the question of wearing a dance belt is not solely the danseur choice, it
follows the visual preferences of the audience and enables to wear tights. The
light padding smoothens the outline of the male organs, so they become less
noticeable. Also, ballet involves vigorous movements and flopping and bouncing balls
and penis would be quite distracting and embarrassing. It can even hide (at
least to some extent :) any spontaneous boner. This also happens believe me, Amalie
told me quite some hilarious stories.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In conclusion, do I have the right to speak about the necessity
of protective cups during sports? Yes, I think so. Do I support wearing a protection of male genitals during any sport or artistic performances? Yes, I
do and not only for safeguarding the most sensitive and precious male parts. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com53tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-41841999032504784632021-12-11T00:38:00.000-08:002021-12-11T00:43:28.976-08:00Zap those balls! ⚡<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">During the last lockdown we watched with Tom a lot of
movies. The selection was quite diverse, Tom likes thrillers and action movies,
I rather prefer movies to be romantic or artsy, so we had to alternate styles to
satisfy both of us. It somehow happened we stumbled across a movie called
‘Eight legged freaks’ about inhabitants of a small Arizona town terrorized by
giant mutated spiders. Rather a B-movie sure, but I admit it was actually a quite
entertaining slack, not to mention seeing young Scarlett Johansson before she
became famous. In one scene Ashley (played by Johansson) and her boyfriend Bret
(played by Matt Czuchry) ended up in a pickup truck in the middle of the
Arizona desert. For the horny guy it was apparently a right moment to try to push
their relationship to a more intimate sphere. However, Ashley wanted to keep
her virginity for a little bit longer and maybe did not see that dirty truck in
the dusty desert as a very romantic setting. When the overzealous boy disrespected
Ashley’s NO, she took a stun gun from her handbag and zapped his balls. This made
a full stop to his unwanted advances. If you haven’t seen the movie, don’t
worry I won’t make any more spoilers here. <o:p></o:p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEigBrJOFuUAMmayFy8SAT0PRstShnlJsQBU7baJoOxG7FFOqOuI2r6t6iSUHTTzl3ehxfu0tk9Oh0P03zQxdoNiqO2F2hQIbvCF-6Zh6qpc5sltzuzLzYT2ApfI30yKBibJVBkQxC8Sai2kcTktAKmJyYXFLkvXg8zQYB59R2jtCsQ0zMEbqoO4hQOk=s520" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="520" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEigBrJOFuUAMmayFy8SAT0PRstShnlJsQBU7baJoOxG7FFOqOuI2r6t6iSUHTTzl3ehxfu0tk9Oh0P03zQxdoNiqO2F2hQIbvCF-6Zh6qpc5sltzuzLzYT2ApfI30yKBibJVBkQxC8Sai2kcTktAKmJyYXFLkvXg8zQYB59R2jtCsQ0zMEbqoO4hQOk=w624-h261" width="624" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">There is always a risk in disrespecting a girl's NO</td></tr></tbody></table>

just shook his head in disagreement but then rather focused on the following action.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">These movie scenes are not always a non-realistic fiction
and sometimes do provide quite good ideas on different scenarios in female self
defense, often not covered by conventional courses. Self defense tools for
women’s protection is a broad and interesting topic, and as other aspects of
female self defense, are shrouded in many controversies and dangerous misconceptions.
You can hear or read a wide range of opinions from <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>The best thing you can do is to buy a pepper spray, you’ll be
safe<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> to <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>These stupid gadgets are just to make money and do not work.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>We already talked
about the pepper spray and the penis as a neglected but highly sensitive target
for capsaicin. Today I will discuss the stun gun also called the electroshock
weapon. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">As I mentioned before, Linda has never been a huge proponent
of self defense tools but at the same time she has never disregarded them. She worried
they might create a false sense of security and rather emphasized the idea that
a girl should always learn the hand-to-hand techniques first and then to
complement these skills with a protective tool. We had a couple of sessions
where she described the proper usage of some of the common ones: pepper sprays,
stun guns, keychains but also protective jewelry. Attacks usually come as a
surprise and the tool might be just lying in your handbag or purse when needed.
For this reason, when you appear in a risky situation, for instance being in a
secluded area, you should firmly hold it in your hand to have it ready for the right moment. Often overlooked and rarely discussed is the applicability of
these tools for last resort self defense. Even if a tool got forgotten and left
unused initially, it might come in handy at the later stage of the attack. Linda
covered this aspect in great depth during one of our training sessions. She
brought three different types of stun guns. One was really big and scary looking;
the second one was just a right size for a small woman’s hand. But our attention really
grabbed the third one which looked like a pink lipstick.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhI4a51nSM8wrnQgt8-Wj5R_PIhPmrUvWp5TO2KRP0ND6VSsvvxAlNnK_-eqB3LO0i1_M0nSsWP1sXBBNy9ZKCtAdYFGbJN8ifvsVNh_qIlMv3juCeM9MQ1hkWATJO8DaynUK9rU4DUx3q078i6Ul__gBek22y-aJwKlddXrTWJ1ZNj9JvMiGfLO2TX=s500" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhI4a51nSM8wrnQgt8-Wj5R_PIhPmrUvWp5TO2KRP0ND6VSsvvxAlNnK_-eqB3LO0i1_M0nSsWP1sXBBNy9ZKCtAdYFGbJN8ifvsVNh_qIlMv3juCeM9MQ1hkWATJO8DaynUK9rU4DUx3q078i6Ul__gBek22y-aJwKlddXrTWJ1ZNj9JvMiGfLO2TX=w264-h264" width="264" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Would you guess the pink lipstick<br />is actually a small stun gun?</td></tr></tbody></table>“</span>I would definitely buy this one as it looks super inconspicuous<span lang="EN-US">”</span> exclaimed Laura and immediately told us a
story. Once one of her friends was talking to a bunch of guys, one of them was
her secret crush. She accidentally dropped her handbag, and besides all that common
girly stuff – makeups and brushes etc., a pack of condoms, a huge pepper spray
and a stun gun fell out. The boy she liked joked <span lang="EN-US">“</span>It seems you have prepared a whole arsenal against us.<span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>She told me it was
quite an embarrassing moment; she was blushing like hell, but saved the
situation by saying <span lang="EN-US">“</span>Sometimes I simply have to stimulate guys with these.<span lang="EN-US">”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">We were all laughing. Linda commented <span lang="EN-US">“</span>Yes, professional models, like this black one, are used by police
and are much powerful generating several millions of volts. But the
lipstick-looking one, when used properly, can be effective as well, especially if
used on the most sensitive areas of the attacker’s body. Their discreet appearance
and small size are a plus. I do understand a woman feels much more
comfortable carrying such a cute gadget rather than a huge weaponry<span lang="EN-US">”.</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>She then explained us <span lang="EN-US">“</span>The principle of the stun gun is to generate a
high voltage which creates an electric arc between two electrodes. The
discharge causes the muscles to spasm and a lot of pain. It is a non-lethal
weapon, but it leaves two burn marks which also tag the attacker. You should
always aim at the most vulnerable areas such as the neck, the armpit or the genitals.
The highest effect can be achieved if these points are exposed, but it works
through clothing as well.<span lang="EN-US">”</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">She then surprised us and took out a piezoelectric gas lighter
from her backpack <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Who wants to try
out how does it feel to get zapped?<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Linda asked the audience. Ana, as always,
boldly volunteered. As instructed by Linda, she put her finger in the nozzle of
the lighter. Linda then pressed the trigger and Ana immediately shook her hand
and screamed in pain <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>It f.cking
hurts!<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>You see, and
this is not even 1000 volts. Now imagine what several million volts can do. Any
other volunteers?<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>No surprise, there were none.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Linda then announced the next activity <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>OK girls, now let me demonstrate the usage of this stun gun in some
common attack scenarios.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>She put the middle-sized stun gun in her rocker style black
handbag, hung it over the shoulder, and called out Bob and Peter to play out bad
guys. For the first scenario, she asked Peter to grab her in a front bear hug. I
think both boys loved, but at the same were dead afraid of these very close
contacts with Linda. Some hesitation was always apparent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Linda, in Peter's tight hold, then explained step
by step what she was doing “</span>As you can see my movement is restricted by
his hands, but I am still able to sneakily put my hand in the handbag to grab
my weapon. The most available area in this case is his genitals. It is the
target closest to your hand and out of his sight. As soon as she was holding
the gun in her hand, she quickly pressed the electrodes into Peter’s prominent bulge.
Suddenly a harrowing cracking sound came out! We all got shocked, but you
should have seen Peter’s face as he almost jumped out of his skin. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The silence was broken

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Linda was just smiling and hugged her ‘attacker’. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Sorry Peter, that was just a sound effect, I defuncted
the arc generator.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> Despite that affectionate
hug, Peter looked at her in anger, but as usual this was his only protest.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjo_FJqz7hexImHHEpyfvG_ssPua5n3dV2mjTV79U7XzM9EHE2G930k_e5ZnC4t4jefn3nNIQ7QbnPBMXUhvRZe1MLejEUdoH45Yi05OQlIJADh3Oo8JbJajjYqpxdkTfkZXaUbfA0dwxH-3Ja11BCZc6hSd5SMSdaf6MTuRWES4UpwL_lwMHe6-UlD=s1956" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1956" data-original-width="1780" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjo_FJqz7hexImHHEpyfvG_ssPua5n3dV2mjTV79U7XzM9EHE2G930k_e5ZnC4t4jefn3nNIQ7QbnPBMXUhvRZe1MLejEUdoH45Yi05OQlIJADh3Oo8JbJajjYqpxdkTfkZXaUbfA0dwxH-3Ja11BCZc6hSd5SMSdaf6MTuRWES4UpwL_lwMHe6-UlD=s320" width="291" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Proper use of a stun on exposed testicles.</td></tr></tbody></table>After a couple of demonstrations of other types of attacks,
she moved on to discuss the instances when a stun gun can be used as a last
resort self defense tool. As an example, she used the case of forced oral sex. <span lang="EN-US">“As always, </span>the key is to deceive him. You can
for instance tell him you want to use a condom you have in your purse. This creates
a window of opportunity to secretly get hold of your weapon. It is important to
never telegraph your intentions, try to keep it out of his sight as much as
possible. His naked testicles are an excellent target for the electrocution. The
best effect can be accomplished if the electrodes are positioned one at each testicle,
so the discharge arc goes all across his genitals. Additionally, if the contact
is made at the back of the scrotum, it makes it more difficult for him to budge
or to pry it off him. You can even push him to your weapon with the other hand.
Once he is stunned, use the opportunity to deliver additional debilitating
blows. Do not hesitate to make his balls ache even more. Alternatively, if he
has an erection, you might consider directing the electrodes to the exposed
head of his penis<span lang="EN-US">. Greatly effective in
eliminating any dirty sexual desires as well.”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">She then turned to the cringing boys, raised her mighty device
and triggered that horrible sound effect again <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Bob, now it is your turn to help me with the practical demonstration…<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span></p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com57tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930910541770279404.post-82975748258775854642021-11-20T00:26:00.003-08:002021-11-20T00:30:13.323-08:00Interview with Linda (part 2)<p>In the first part we already learned about Linda’s
occupation, how she got into self defense and about her interesting research. In
this instalment we will discuss male volunteers, how she found Bob and Peter and
get them involved. I also hope she will satisfactorily rebut some of the
concerns about their treatment during the course.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Linda maybe we can now talk about the course you lead. How
long have you been teaching the course?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year it is already the fifth season. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>You mentioned that you received some backlash from the management. What happened?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtFAECeUcmFshGmvByby7NUQbdemMAdarUvk7iPszZzIIpZybxr1ayDjC7uybZkU0zuWtnIIxkYlvUGG2TIY4QPIRrIlpQo5hdV5aaErtDO7SCN34nRNmH4VeirakcdOLCBV_VTOyf32MP-SD6k_Y7_mh56_PD3I_3gXJXx7rNBU2L7OLSI5E6x4vV=s352" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="293" data-original-width="352" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtFAECeUcmFshGmvByby7NUQbdemMAdarUvk7iPszZzIIpZybxr1ayDjC7uybZkU0zuWtnIIxkYlvUGG2TIY4QPIRrIlpQo5hdV5aaErtDO7SCN34nRNmH4VeirakcdOLCBV_VTOyf32MP-SD6k_Y7_mh56_PD3I_3gXJXx7rNBU2L7OLSI5E6x4vV=w265-h221" width="265" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The new dean gave the Linda's course a green light</td></tr></tbody></table>When I was setting up the course, I knew that my
style of the teaching will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but to be honest I was not
expecting such a resistance. Apparently, there have been some anonymous reports—I
don’t know from who—to the departmental management that I promote violence and
I ‘misuse’ the male volunteers. I was told that I must ‘readjust the curriculum
to follow the university moral codex and protect the dignity of all
participants immediately.’ </p><p class="MsoNormal">However, the atmosphere changed with the election
of our new dean. One of her goals is to cope with epidemics of sexual
misconduct and to increase safety on campuses. I had a brief meeting with her,
and she told me she alone was a victim during her studies. She supported me in
everything I do, and said to me, <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>I do
not care if it is offensive or what your methods are, if it works, teach it! Linda,
I need you to teach those girls proper self defense. If I had more time I would
love to join and learn how to properly kick balls.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> The allocated budget is also quite generous so I could buy some
new equipment and give some small cash to Bob and Peter, so they have another
reason to stay. It would be a pity to lose them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I remember all the rumors about your unconventional
approach. Some of us girls were afraid to participate, one of my classmates called
me crazy because I did. Do you know you even got a nickname? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Not really, what is it? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>‘Cruelinda’<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(We both laughed). Well, I do not force anybody. Those not afraid
to join my course—usually 5 to 8 students—are very committed and motivated and
even thou maybe having some initial doubts and qualms, they soon realize why I
do things the way I do. My mission is to teach self defense to young women properly,
not to be politically correct. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Let’s talk a little bit about our two ‘darling attackers’,
Bob and Peter. Have you had any volunteers before? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, the course volunteers are usually the same I use for my
research. Because Mike and Felix decided to leave due to that accident, I had to find new ones. I was very lucky I got Bob and Peter.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>So how did you find them?<o:p></o:p></b></p>

I was
looking for the replacement of the two lost volunteers to be able to continue
with my research and the course. At first, I thought I will make an advertising poster and
stick it in a hallway, but one of my colleagues came to me that she already has
two good candidates. She told me both were too focused on their training and
forgot to take some theoretical courses and now they are missing some ECTS credits
and whether participation in the experiments and the course can earn them
some. So, I invited them to an interview to my office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How did the interview go? How did you convince them? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Both were quite shy from the beginning. I think I explained
them in all honesty what the goals and methods of my research are and what the
course is about. I stressed that the training is very realistic, as will be
their role as model attackers. I told them<b> </b>that I am looking for someone
comfortable to get naked in front of the girls and not being afraid of direct physical
contact. This also means they should expect some trashing and pain, including
the testicular pain. This cannot be completely avoided when teaching female
self defense. I told them this is just a small price to pay if they are dedicated
to make their female fellows safe. I promised them that I will arrange those ECTS points and such a volunteering activity will look good on their CVs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How did they react?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They gazed at me in surprise first, then at themselves, but
finally nodded in agreement. I guess they really needed those ECTS points. But
then I said <span lang="EN-US">“</span>All right, show me your true commitment and drop your pants!<span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>You should have seen they surprised faces. Peter asked, <span lang="EN-US">“</span>You mean like right now?<span lang="EN-US">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>I insisted, <span lang="EN-US">“</span>Yes, I am serious, I need to see your genitals.<span lang="EN-US">” </span>Reluctantly, with a blushing face, but they
did. This wasn’t just to test their true commitment—they passed—I also wanted
to see if they are suitable for the purpose of the particular research objectives
and to be able to demonstrate variability in one of the most important targets. As you could also notice, they have a bit different testicles and penises.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Are you satisfied with them? <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So far yes. I was glad we are going to have assistants in
the same age group as the female participants. Statistics are clear, most university-aged women will be attacked by an attacker of their age, often classmates or
dates. It does not only add to the realism of the training, but it also helps
in bonding. Surely it can get quite intimate sometimes. Their athletic body
type and stamina is also a plus. One of my philosophies is that girls should always
go through that important empowering step of taking down a man regardless of
their height, size or muscle mass. I always ensure this experience happens for every girl
during the course. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How would you react to those accusations that you did not
treat them well?<o:p></o:p></b></p>

Both do sports on a
semi-professional level. This means they must obey an authority and submit to a strict discipline. They
train and workout daily, so they are used not to be treated with kids gloves.
Last but not least, they were informed and agreed to help with the class with
all it takes. Importantly, they also signed a waiver. When there was a problem I or Susanne
took a good care of them. By the way she would be a perfect andrologist as well. She
could be very empathetic with guys and also gentle with her hands. I admit that occasionally they left the dojo limping, with some bruises and they might have had to skip
sex from time to time, but I am sure they have not sustained any permanent injury.
However, once they earned those ECTS points to keep them for the next round I
remunerate them with some pocket money. So technically they are not volunteering anymore. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>There has been a heated discussion in the comments,
whether they got ‘harmed’ or not.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I always try to find a good balance between the realism and
effectiveness of the training and the risk of permanent injury of our dear
assistants. You can confirm that in some instances, when a serious injury would
be imminent, I insisted they wore a cup and a head protector. However, full
force, ‘no punches pulled’ sparing is an integral part of my teaching and
accidents cannot be completely avoided. So yes, from time to time we had to
deal with bruises, black eyes, limps, and a swollen scrotum. Luckily, neither
of those have required any medical assistance. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nevertheless, some of you, especially Laura and Susanne were
concerned about long-term effect on their reproductive health. To
comfort them, I arranged a sperm count check at a fertility clinic where one of
my friends works as a clinician. I also saw some anti-doping screening results so
I can reassure everybody that their sperm count and the level of testosterone is perfectly
normal for boys of their age. Their role was to play attackers so one can
expect they got beaten and be harmed in the same way as one can expect they fall from a bike from time to time getting some nasty bruises. I
am pretty sure if they did MMA they would be at higher risk of serious injury. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj6t7fRf80q5TOZ2yjouyvjwdSMN7X6kqwndD3yRU9769LkSjg_KCarr2wY8SFxHewxl4ePgN602GalvfWuMfczPPHowjB4j0JHXUrPC1cju6_LDLeaRuzH8OOp20wl62M8aTd7fcXZnHj-cVLB9RCKdKYqTnfsK58u9jIeeWbhQBYFCaNX7vX4-wNd=s1373" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1101" data-original-width="1373" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj6t7fRf80q5TOZ2yjouyvjwdSMN7X6kqwndD3yRU9769LkSjg_KCarr2wY8SFxHewxl4ePgN602GalvfWuMfczPPHowjB4j0JHXUrPC1cju6_LDLeaRuzH8OOp20wl62M8aTd7fcXZnHj-cVLB9RCKdKYqTnfsK58u9jIeeWbhQBYFCaNX7vX4-wNd=w237-h190" width="237" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Doing any kind of sport puts a male at <br />risk of testicular injury</td></tr></tbody></table>This
is what I would say to all my critics. If you have serious concerns about men’s
‘testicular health and safety’, advocate for mandatory cups not only in MMA fights
but also in other sports such as soccer. Occasionally we do a mixed match between
our female and the male soccer team, and I could never understand that strange
carelessness when it comes to wearing cups. It is so tiring to deal all the
time with a male player writhing on the playground in horrible pain. And it is also so heart-wrenching to see those young men anxiously protecting their
genitals when making a wall during the free kicks. So who is a sadist here me

proportions. There is already a lot of articles out there about this topic, and
of course I have my own opinion on the subject <span face=""Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif">😊</span>. But today I will talk about the size of the
two tender thingies dangling behind the man’s pride. The testes are
male reproductive glands<span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;">—</span>extremely productive little factories
producing both male hormones androgens and sperm. In one of my earlier <a href="https://lastresortselfdefense.blogspot.com/2020/08/male-anatomy-testicles-size-and-shape.html" target="_blank">posts</a>, I
already mentioned that their size and shape do vary significantly among men,
the average size is app. 4 cm (1.6 inch) in length and 3 cm (1.2 inch) in width.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is the significance of the testicular size for female self
defense? The first thing to mention relates to the varying levels of testosterone. For
years it has been a controversial theory, but several recent studies finally
confirmed that testes with increased volume do make more testosterone. This
also implies, the more ‘testicularly endowed’ a man is, the higher likelihood
of him becoming a dangerous aggressor. </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjM5I1myh-6NmqqmibgtifKLUrA_v-NF1Wc2Z-Qb9QoxN5HOeCIQoTZM0BnPOu_kggHX29Y3CoNKjjYjHqEnLfRwybSqjICTFdlVN5vnyABcz0n0_R3k1_CM19nviUnD1-8DVU_jm6t-eneAEfqfrqjolZi2co-8NRk-ublVY-dVAR1Oc64FFrvr8-8=s508" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="424" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjM5I1myh-6NmqqmibgtifKLUrA_v-NF1Wc2Z-Qb9QoxN5HOeCIQoTZM0BnPOu_kggHX29Y3CoNKjjYjHqEnLfRwybSqjICTFdlVN5vnyABcz0n0_R3k1_CM19nviUnD1-8DVU_jm6t-eneAEfqfrqjolZi2co-8NRk-ublVY-dVAR1Oc64FFrvr8-8=w183-h218" width="183" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not all testicles are high up on the scale. </td></tr></tbody></table>Ironically, large balls also represent a
larger target for numerous techniques of female self defense. For instance,
during kicking and kneeing the risk of balls escaping the impact is lower and
the chance of hitting them 'dead on' significantly increases. However, a woman
with small hands might have some difficulties to effectively grab such a
sizable scrotum. In this case the best option is to focus the attack on just
one testicle and possibly to apply the <a href="https://lastresortselfdefense.blogspot.com/2021/09/divide-and-conquer.html" target="_blank">divide and conquer</a> principle mentioned
before. On the other hand, when the testicles are small, they tend to slip out of the grip more easily.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Throughout the course, Linda made a really great effort to cover
all the possible variables in detail. During one training session we looked into the
importance of testicular size both theoretically and practically. As I mentioned
before, she often used various <a href="https://lastresortselfdefense.blogspot.com/2020/10/testicle-props.html" target="_blank">analogues of testicles</a> in her teaching. That
evening she brought a couple of different types of fruits. Some were from her
garden, some especially those tropical ones, she had to buy in a supermarket.
She laid in front of us pairs of gooseberries, cherries, strawberries, plums, figs,
kiwis and small avocados and gave us some perspective first.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Representation
of testicles by fruits has deep historical and linguistic roots. For instance,
the word avocado comes from the old Aztecan <i>ahuakatl,</i> which also meant
testicle. And as you probably know ‘plums’ and ‘nuts’ are also used as
colloquial expressions for testicles in English.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> She explained us that the fruits she brought depict the wide range
of testicular sizes of men. The average testicles more closely resemble plums,
but it is not uncommon that they reach the size of small avocados. Then she also
mentioned that given the positive correlation between the testicular volume and
testosterone production, it is quite likely that a woman would encounter an attacker
with overgrown glands. <o:p></o:p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgbM9_0z_zfggzCgT8_cIc0PMqduH9YcK8G5C1RAKPfJj8PdoBwuREqatJUrwS9lVfmk-gcUrtIUpA39LiXQ-LeuJZ7b2fzxzttbexOOvV4wcYuHnsWsj9dmQlbDxJGLwxz_AX0x6iUmX4gOi_5_rpJLz5-U7b9XXIqomcD8rBkyhKO1CHcLFEmGsBw=s3120" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="492" data-original-width="3120" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgbM9_0z_zfggzCgT8_cIc0PMqduH9YcK8G5C1RAKPfJj8PdoBwuREqatJUrwS9lVfmk-gcUrtIUpA39LiXQ-LeuJZ7b2fzxzttbexOOvV4wcYuHnsWsj9dmQlbDxJGLwxz_AX0x6iUmX4gOi_5_rpJLz5-U7b9XXIqomcD8rBkyhKO1CHcLFEmGsBw=w649-h102" width="649" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> Range of testicular sizes represented by various fruits.</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">After this intro Linda initiated a group work. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Girls divide into two groups and discuss and
specify which of these fruits resemble Bob’s and Peter’s testicles the most.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Linda, you
mean just size-wise or also how hairy and wrinkly they are?<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">” </span>Ana <span lang="EN-US">a</span>sked humorously. We
all immediately burst in laughter.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Linda was smiling as well. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>This time focus on their size, but of course you can comment on
other aspects as well.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We already got quite familiar with both of our ‘darling
attackers’ young balls, yet we have not reached a unanimous opinion on the task. After a couple of
minutes-long, very heated discussion the leaders of the groups were about to
announce the outcome. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ana started on behalf of her group. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>We finally agreed that Bob’s testicles resemble smaller kiwis by
both size and hairiness, Peter’s figs by their size, but avocados how bumpy the skin is.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Thank you Ana,
and what about you?<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> Linda
inquired the other group. Laura responded, as always quite shyly. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Well, we actually had quite some disagreement in our group, but
the final outcome is that both do not have testicles larger than these plums.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>She used her index
finger to point on the two plums lying on the mat. <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>However, some of us believe that maybe those of Bob reach the
size of these figs.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> She then moved her
finger over the figs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>Well, I see
there is indeed quite some disagreement.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> Linda
commented these results, <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“</span>OK, lets have
a look who got it right.<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span> She called
the two boys to leave their smartphones and to join the girls’ discussion
forum. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once they stood in front of us, she asked them directly, <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">“Boys, </span>will you show us your balls?<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

‘weird’ requests and without much hesitation they pulled down their shorts and
proudly exposed their genitals. Linda then gently scooped up each scrotum with
her hand, removed the penis to the side with her thumb and by putting the
suggested fruits next to them she was able to make a precise comparison.
Exactly like a doctor would use an orchidometer. This measurement proved that
neither of the two groups made a correct estimation. Bob’s testicles were more
like plums and those of Peter were as big as strawberries. <p></p><p class="MsoNormal">“You little bit overestimated
their family jewels. However, both are perfectly in norm and as you can see they produce enough
of testosterone to make them good sportsmen with nice muscular bodies.” She gently
caressed their six-packs to signify her statemen.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

them with satisfaction and helped them to pull up their shorts and at the
same time she patted both affectionately on their buttocks. “OK, now go back to
your smartphones, I will call you once again for the practical session once I
finish the theoretical part with the girls…”</p>Wendy L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07017046861361600739noreply@blogger.com67
