Sports Science Kick to the Groin

[Rondo2287]

I was just flipping through the channels, not sure if anybody else saw it, but this guy straight up trained himself through 5 years of getting kicked in the nuts, punched in the ribs and neck to shut down his pain transmitters. 

The showed one of the American Gladiators, "Justice," Kick him in the nuts and he didnt flinch.  they said he kicked with the force of a 16 pound bowling ball dropped from 9 feet in the air. 

thoughts?

To each his own I suppose

[lon3lytoaster]

Wouldn't that still have bad consequences for his manhood area? I mean, one of my friends got kicked in the nuts so hard by some Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. that he literally lost a testicle.

[Rondo2287]

apparently he was kicked there so many times that they grew stronger and the muscles kept getting destroyed then reforming and making them incredibly hard and strong.  same premise as if you break a bone once it heals they say its harder to break.

Does he talk in a higher pitched voice than Mike Tyson now?

[Redz]

So, what is he going to do with his hard fought "impervious to pain" status?

Go on TV shows and show how he can get kicked in the nuts and it doesn't hurt?

Go on the carny circuit making $5 a nut shot?  "Step right up folks and kick the man with brass balls."  Why would you even want to do it, you'd just hurt your foot?

[Rondo2287]

I guess he is a world known martial artist. So i guess its useful for that discipline.  Prob should have mentioned that at the get go, lol.  And no Nick no high voice.  he had no physical effects of the kick.  His heart rate even remained constant

[Rondo2287]

because as i said too, he could also take shots to the neck and ribs with no reaction

no pun intended, right?

But if you tear a ligament (or even a sprain- like your ankle), that is certainly not the case- it just gets weaker. Where do testacles fit in? I saw this Sportscience episode a while ago and it is a little crazy. I guess if that's what he's into...

[ToppersBsktball10]

my friend garret doesn't have a reaction when he's kicked/punched. inhuman lol

[brodes]

I haven't seen this one, but it seems totally fake. I'll have to watch it though at some point...I can't imagine anyone can really deal with this without flinching.

[the_Bird]

Maybe he's so jacked up on 'roids that his testes have retreated into his body cavity.

So this us AV's secret.
