Im sure theres some validity to it. I'd just call it the art of sucker punching. Alot harder to do once shyt gets cracking as most Ko's that come while a fight is happening are because someone got their chin, temple or stomach rocked.
A little about Kyokushin and face punching.

@Master Teacher thinks you can condition your balls by having someone kick/strike them day in and day out?

Bingo.
In the heat of battle, you'd have to damn near be like dude in the matrix to pull off some of these techniques in the vid. I could see it being effective on an unsuspecting person though. I mean a pressure point is a pressure point. I'm just not sold on mastering them as your end all/be all to self defense/fighting.

To the body builder's credit he actually lasted a lot longer than I expected. I thought it would end much sooner due to stamina(all that muscle), lack of technique, or both.

I bet the looks on their faces are pricelessIve faced guys that big and i be likeand then im stunned at myself, at how easy it is to sweep and finish them and then im like.
I try to grapple like im in a street fight so i love wrapping arms, when im on the ground, getting hooks inside the legs and doing elevator sweeps. If they're too heavy for elevator i just try to get 1 underhook, and take the back.

Peep my thread in the gym I fell in love with the bb'ing routines/results for a minute until I started sparring regularly again. I realized I was sloooooooow, it took me about 8 months to feel as quick as I used to be, that and the added chest size made punching with my right hand awkward as fukk
shyt took me a minute to fix, lifting is good for strength/explosiveness but all you need is bench/dead/squat/cleans (the basis of most strength & conditioning routines along w/box jumps etc). All that other shyt will have you looking good but that's about it.

I went through the same thing wayy back when I was in high school and picked up powerlifting for a spellPeep my thread in the gym I fell in love with the bb'ing routines/results for a minute until I started sparring regularly again.

I actually loved it, but I got into a fight about 8 months into it and I was slower than a sloth with my punches. So slow in fact that the dude's girlfriend called it out and clowned me on the very first punch I threw. shyt felt like I was swinging in slow motion.
I still won though. I slung that tall skinny lightskin afro having nucca all over james st.

The only thing I honestly think improved from lifting was my balance which I think the squats are most likely responsible for and with the better balance I was able to turn over my left hook better but yeah that "slow" feeling is
. I had generic mma cacs putting paws on me for like a good 3-4 weeks.

I think the best way to maintain strength without bulking up too much is either through calisthenics(pushups, pullups, situps, etc), light weight/high repitition dumbell workouts, or a combination of the two.
@Master Teacher thinks you can condition your balls by having someone kick/strike them day in and day out?
I seen it with my own eyes, everyday the whole class as to line up, the sensei will punch you in the solar plexus and you have to do the same to him
then he will kick you in the nuts and you gotta do the same, that's real martial arts training, you never seen the shaolin demostrations where they exact same thing
like I said all you nikkaz fake, I asked te kyoshosin fraud nikka where is dojo at he tagged in a nikka who do BJJ

quit pretending to be into martial arts the, nikkaz is crazy, you might come across somebody who will challenge to fight to death acting like you are about that life

I know all about being kicked in the grapes buddy, trust me.. you must not read my kumite/sparring thread huh
*insert shameless plug * http://www.thecoli.com/threads/share-your-most-recent-sparring-kumite-session-with-the-coli.214310/
Not the most recent sparring session, but it was very recent and, to date, it is now definitely the most memorable
Sept, 3, 2014 was the day...
Sparred the first two rounds against a green belt. He is a very proficient kicker and I always learn a lot sparring with him.
Our sparring sessions usually goes as follows: circle, strike, counter -strike, circle, jodan mawashi geri(high roundhouse kick).
This time proved to be no different and it was a great 2 rounds of footwork and timing, and lots of noticeable improvement.
I'm becoming more adept at countering his kicks instead of just "pausing" after I block or evade the kicks.
And at timing his kicks too. I've been going mae geri(front kick) crazy lately and have been trying to time it as my partner is about to kick, and it's been finally starting to come to fruition...before, i was only having sporadic success with it.
The next two rounds were with a young kid, a blue belt. He's a very tall guy, but not skinny/lanky..just lean and solid.
I like kumite with him as well because of the challenges his height and reach present. I always make it a point to throw jodan mawashi geri when sparring with him, as a challenge to myself (due to his height)...
Round 1, we had a pretty good rhythm going - in and out, back and forth, strike counter strike..
I got in close which is normally ideally what I like to do with him because of his reach, but this time I paid for it and ate a hiza geri(knee kick) straight to the ribs.
As we circled back around I snuck back in close and began a small non-stop 'punchfest' to distract him, and then stepped back slightly and landed a left jodan mawashi geri against his head.
He became even more alive after that and things got very animated as we circled and traded. He started mixing it up, throwing ushiro geri(back kick) every once in a while.
I crowded him again using the same "distract him with a barrage of punches" technique and then bang, landed a right jodan mawashi geri to the other side of his head as the previous one.
It was different this time though
This time, as I was bringing my leg back he was in mid-kick for another ushiro geri. I didn't feel it at first, but he landed it (mistakenly) smack dead in my groin.
When I came down I immediately felt my left testicle wasn't "right". Then the pain slowly started to come, but even that was very low, considering wat'd just happened..
My biggest concern in those moments was the weird feeling of my testicle. It felt as if it was it's own "seperate" appendage, and every step I took it felt like it was barely hanging on.
Very hard to describe. I stopped immediately and indicated my groin, and Sensei rushed over and lifted me up a few times, etc.
Fortunately it was the end of that round and shortly after also the end of class.
We bowed out and immediately I headed down to the locker room, scared to death.
Got into a bathroom stall and looked down my pants... my testicles had swollen to the size of about a cantaloupe, literally.
Fought off a tny wave of mild shock, then pulled my pants back up, gathered my things and drove myself straight to the emergency room...dogi(karate uniform) still on and everything.
By the time I'd gotten to the hospital the pain still really wasn't the most "intense" thing about the situation. It was barely noticeable, even.. which strikes me as odd every time I think about it, considering I've been accidentally hit there before in kumite with far less force, yet, it hurt way more.
The worse thing about it all was how uncomfortable and heavy and grotesque it all was to me.
I was put into a wheelchair and wheeled up to a room, some pretty little blonde nurse did an ultrasound on my swollen buddies, was so embarrassing
Doctor came into the room some time later with the results and told me, verbatim, "dude, all you have is a really bad ass bruise."
Words cannot express how relieved I was. During the wait time I had googled groin injuries, specifically the ones resulting in my type of swelling, and had seen that it could be something that required surgery (torsion, for instance). So i was uber relieved when he walked in and stated that it was just a "bad ass bruise".
But the next 2 weeks were a living hell, and it was if it all began that very night that I finally got home from the hospital..
The pain was exactly what you would imagine it would be if a man gets kicked in the balls hard enough to make them swell up to the size of a cantaloupe.
It was HELL.
And as with all bruises, it only got worse each day before it got better.
Easily some of the worst pain in my life was during that 12-14 days or so, second only to the time when I broke my arm.(that pain was indescribable. no words)
Today, I would say I am about easily about 98 % healed. Zero pain and Zero swelling.
I only say 98% instead of 100% because when I'm self examining I can still feel a tiny abnormality of swell tissue still breaking down in there.. but it's virtually gone too, and gets less and less each day.
And let me go ahead and say it and get it out of the way before someone else does:
"spar full contact without wearing a groin cup brehs"
Aside from that incident, kumite was great!
Osu
I'm not impressed that he can "take groin kicks". I'd be more impressed if he could still walk after a well placed gedan mawashi geri
