Crotch Crunch

[Rx]

I went to my local library, and got the book, \"Krav Maga : How to Defend Yourself Against Armed Assault\" by Imi Sde-Or.

Every move involved a strike to the groin. I kid you not.

I'm all for \"whatever works,\" but wow...and ow... :shock:

It's a nice surprise, when you do that groin shot... and you notice that your opponent is wearing a groin guard. Then what ?

You giggle... then continue to train.

You make fun of the groin protector and deliver a crippling blow to his self esteem I guess.

In a similar type of situation, you go to strike your opponent in the face, and he's wearing headgear. What then? Ir you kick him in the shin but he's wearing shin guards- what then? What if he's got full body armor? Well, I guess thats what classical jujutsu is about.

Sounds like I asked a question that's not allowed to be asked in KM circles. :shock:

Hi Susannah,

Were you asking the question where a real situation presents you with a real assailant who is wearing a cup? Or a training scenario?

If it's a real situation your still going to get his attention if you slam him in the groin, cup or not it still hurts. Instinctively, most guys will protect their groin with their hands, human nature I guess. Well, that leaves his head wide open......good for elbows.

Krav is all about options and having multiple methods of attack for each body part. Even if his groin is protected, chances are his noggin, knees, solar plexus, kidneys, eyes etc etc etc are not.

Have fun in your training!
