Title: ripleys martial arts question
Post by: ccp on January 27, 2009, 07:18:05 AM

On "Ripleys believe it or not" they show martial artists taking direct blows to the groin and throat.  How can they do this without injury?  Is this some sort of trick?  If the scrotum is above the pelvic bone I guess the blow would be deflected from the sensitive area.  But the blows to the Adams apple boggle my mind.

What is the method of this?  Anyone know?

Let's ask this on the Martial Arts forum please.
