I dont think it has the same "pain" factor as a guys groin 2 its a society thing, girls are not suppose to be able to hurt guys ( we're big and strong (yea right !) but why end up in a "cat fight" 3. "old school" you just dont do that! 4) OK! OK! IF THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE HECK... (BEAT THE b!T@H tO death if you have to !! ) LOL CORRECTION I STAND CORRECTED!!! IT SEEMS TO BE VERRY EFFECTIVE USE IT WISELY AND ONLY AS NEEDED BUT WHEN YOU DO NEED IT BY ALL MEANS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KICK LONG AND HARSD! LOL lol dont need this, don t fight with women or girls make love not war !!

Actually, I have seen the tactic be successful. I have even used it myself (I am male). The reason that it may not be successful is that the kicker is not kicking in the right way, as to say, kicking a guy with the top of the foot is effective, but when kicking a female, you want to use the tip of your shoe to get between the labia to compress her button up into her pubic bone. Believe me it works. I have actually done it. Here's a link to the effectiveness of the female groin. This is a clip in which the female is wearing a groin protector and the impact still effects her enough to hunch over. http://www.bodogfight.com/episodes?play=bo...ght-episode-3-6 Also the mistake also that is made is that when someone is kicks a females groin for some reason, they are kicking at the groin, meaning they usually pull the kick once it contacts. In self defense, the kick is supposed to go through the target. So the kick should in effective be strong enough that it is actually aiming up toward her belly. Most people simply pull the kick back, making it uneffective.

Exactly, I am intonating that FEMALES be taught self defense tactics to use against other FEMALES. In my martial arts classes they teach the females to strike other females in the knee or the throat or the eye. But if the best, most effective strike is a kick to the nerve bundle in the front of her groin, then that is the best form of self defense. Furthermore, you mentioned that it should not be used against a female because it would cause emotional, psychological or physical trauma, yet a male could also experience emotional, psychological, or physical trauma from a similar groin attack --- it is as if you are saying we must protect the psychology of female attacker, yet a male attacker, go ahead kick away. In studies, all violence, any violence, leads to emotional and psychological damage, on both sides male and female. Why are you only concerned with the female's psychological reaction, especially, if she is the attacker from which we need to be defended. It doesn't seem reasonable that we neglect to teach our females (the good females) that they can use a groin kick technique against another female to defend themselves. Otherwise the violent females are going to defeat them in combat, thus, inflicting that trauma you so understand upon the 'good' female who would become the victim. I would rather have the good female defend herself by properly striking her opponent's anatomy. I think the reason that they don't teach females to strike other females groins is because of your over-emotional, heated concept to even the notion of it. Hands down ... my daughter, my wife, my sister, my best female friend, I want them to know how effective it is to strike the female groin so that they can properly and entirely defend themselves. If one of my female loved ones has to protect her self from greivous bodily harm from another female, well, then, I am not concerned if she damages her attackers psychology, I am though concerned that the attacker doesn't gouge out my loved one's eyes or hit in the head with a beer bottle.

Actually, I have been corrected. Krav Maga does teach both males and females to target the female groin, stating in one of its training guides: The Vulva is a target because it is full of pain receptors and will cause significant pain. The manual shows males and females alike demonstrating kicks to the female groin. I just didn't know. Krav Maga is an Israeli Street-practical form of self defense, that evolved partly through police and military experiences.

Darn, I posted twice - sorry!

Now, I'm curious... Who says it isn't taught? BTW, Sunblynd, were you aware the some very prominent FEMALE firearms instructors train their students (mostly women) to shoot female attackers in the lower pelvic region - specifically, the uterus - to induce faster incapacitation than shots to her chest are likely to produce? Do you think these gals are misogynists, too? I think you're looking at this from the wrong perspective...

My turn! If we can kick a guy in the groin, why can't we kick a female? if a female can kick a male in self-defense, and a female can kick a female in self-defense, then why can't a guy kick a female in self-defense? Look at it logically! If we want the sexes to be "equal" then we can't have by-ways. In a fight situation, I say all-out! As for reproduction, if a guy gets hit in the nads, he wont loose the ability to bear children, because they constantly enerate sperm (unless you kill their prostate). Females only have the eggs they started with, if you stuff them up, they're gone! The way i see it is, if you need to defend yourself against a female who is heading for you with a knife or whatever, she shouldn't be reproducing! She can't raise kids! Do the foster system a favour! Self-defense is suh a dodgy thing to look at, each scenario is different. But if my hypothetical son is gonna be seriously hurt, why can't he protect himself. Yeah, save the bad defenses until all-hope is lost! Kicking a woman in the groin as a last-straw of self-defense is not masoginistic!

Because society is sexist. Yes, sexism goes both ways, feminists, contrary to your beliefs. It's quite simple really. Men are supposed to be "stronger" than women, when in reality it varies on the individual male or female. Because men are supposed to always be stronger by default, kicking a woman's groin is seen as dirty and cheap, whereas a woman kicking a man's groin is somehow tolerated. In reality, it is equally effective, but society wants you to think it isn't. If I'm dealing with a crazy person on the street for example, and i don't know anyone around me either, then whether they are male or female, I would kick them before they kick me. It's not sadistic, it's just smart. If I'm surrounded by people I know, then I would try to get help before it escalates. Fighting is dumb, period. The bottom line is, if I'm dealing with some crazy psycho bitch, and there is no other way to deal with the situation, then I'm kicking her in the groin before she inevitably does the same to me. And just for the record, if you people want to say, "It's immoral" just remember that everyone has different morals.

If you could boot her with enough force to break her pelvis...then I guess you could. But they the hips have quite a bit of cartalige (sorry for spelling).

I know everyone here is saying it doesn't hurt (and it doesn't compared to a guy) but if you get the pubic bone it really does hurt!

there is a pubic bone which can be badly bruised or chipped

Simple - NO NUTS!

cause they don't have balls idiot!

Check the videos below if you dont believe it: AND THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION. Is because the whole groin kick in the movies started during the feminsism era in 60's along with general male bashing you see on tv. With their double standards the same feminsists block the showing of females being hit in the groin saying it sends the wrong message while encourageing male groin kicking to show self defense. Well theres the answer. and bottom line, its defintely WRONG either sex to do it but it certainly is a double standard, you cant even watch a film these days without male bashing in it.

It is. The upward snap kick to the crotch works well on the dangling external balls of a male, but has no similar female target. So this type of kick does not stop a female attacker ... but there are other types of kicks. It is difficult to target the nerve points of a female's groin with a large foot ... but female groin attacks are taught in Ninjitsu with extreme precision for very specific purposes. Most are hand attacks that pinch or poke nerves in and around the groin area to shut down the legs ... likewise most of the Ninjitsu groin kicks are usually aimed at the hip joint or the femoral pressure point beside the groin, but a common "thrust then stomp" with an inward and downward toe kick roughly three quarters of the way down between the naval and crotch is designed to damage the internal sex organs of the female to the point of incapacitation. The rising of the knee to the pubic bone is the most common "kick" to the female's groin in Ninjitsu. Like all kicks that target above the knee, the kicker is risking the trapping of the kicking foot, so all high kicks in Ninjitsu are taught to be used with extreme caution and are only done after the target area has been cleared of defenses. We Ninja prefer to break ankles with low kicks, we seldom lift our feet to kick a groin, male or female.

funny thing. Now-days we kick women just like men.. Sad.. This is very sad.. But.. Nevertheless, if we actually do so why not do it right. YES IT HURTS VERY BADLY. If you kick a man in lower stomach one will see very little result, however hitting a woman on the right or left sides of her pubic areas will make her "go away" for days making a shuffle out of their ovaries. IT IS NOT SAME AS KICKING MEN IN THE BALLS. IT IS A LOT MORE SERIOUS. MENS GENITALS AS ARE EXPOSED TO THE OUTSIDE FROM MENS BIRTH MAKING IT LESS PAINFUL (believe it or not). WOMENS GENITALS ARE NOT THEREFORE IT WILL HURT 10 times more if not knockout completely. BUT be very careful such kicks may lead to vaginal bleeding, emotional panic and days lasting pain. This woman will never speak with you again after such attack. Also.. very effective are direct kicks in the nipple area. Especially if woman has at least a B-size. I actually saw a woman pass out from it. Very rarely one will have a chance to kick a woman right in between her legs just below the pubic bone or into it. This paralyzes clitoral region for days and can make her frigid forever. So.... It is sad. The problem is not that woman has no balls but rather man having no brains if he ended up fighting a woman in the first place. This tricks are only good for girls learning how to fight another woman if they have to. Also, remember that she may be pregnant at that time without even knowing.. This can cause death through internal bleeding. So.. how does this compare to a men's balls kicking shtink.. Men fighting woman looks really stupid and can end up in jail. Have a pleasant ovaries..

Some of you assumed he meant a guy hitting a girl. Not to mention there are girls that are bigger then guys at a younger age that pick on them. Those lil boys need self defense too.

you people are sick. If a girl fights a girl it is funny to watch and it is total madness. I never seen a girl use her learned martial arts techniques. They all grab hair and just try to screw up each other faces. May be if she is a police officer or other authority, then may be she will use those knowledge. Otherwise they just jump around. REASON: because women are not animals like men. And if a man fights a woman for real then he is lower then man - he is an idiot. Men should fight man. End of story. If a he is to fight a woman... because she is crazy stupid feminist or just a drunk bitch then just punch her in the nose just like you do with man and let her remember that day till she f.. drops dead. I had seen some men fight. No one is going after groin right away. Everyone is trying the "fare" game first. Don't you think that those stupid bitches and ugly feminists deserve the same? ... and for you girls out there.. don't ever let this happen to you because if man gets kicked in there - he will recover and still have babies and sex and so on. If you will be kicked in there (especially to ovaries or tubes or what have you) even ones - it may be enough to cause a great damage to your future sex life or being able to get pregnant. So if you are a girl and decided to fight... man for real (or even a girl) you must be stupid.. really stupid.. ovaries don't recover like testicles. They are made differently.

Plain Sexism. That's all. I hate the idea of kicking anyone in the groin even in a life-threatening situation because it constitutes "sexual assault" in my opinion. No one has the right to sexually assault anyone under any circumstances. If a woman were attacking me with a knife of even a gun, I would try plenty of other combative techniques to disable her rather than stooping to this brutality and depravity as I would if the attacker were a man. However ... if a woman attacks me and deliberately tries to inflict genital injury upon me with a kick, punch, or strike to the groin, I will certainly inflict the same attempted injury upon her and repeatedly. I just may keep on until she's nearly dead or in a coma. If she has no respect for my genitals, I'll have no respect for hers. Since most self-defense classes teach women to use groin strikes, kicks, and blows against men, and some women abuse this technique and use it to attack, I would advise men not to even allow an attacking woman to get to close to him to exact such a technique. Do everything you can to keep her away from you. Throw stuff at her to keep her back -- glass bottles, rocks, chairs, tables, etc. Use sticks, knives, bats, poles, hatchets, etc. Heck, if you have to pull out a gun and shoot her, do it. Do whatever you must to keep her back to avoid such an injury. If she gets too close strike her genitals first with all the strength and brutal force in your essence to incapacitate her before she inflicts that injury on you. It's sad men have to view women as a threat these days because of all the sexist hatred women have for men; but that's the way it is, so we have to protect ourselves.

It is in some forms, however not really a good place. Personally I never liked groin shots anyway, men are to use to protect thats area, and it takes a rather precise shot to injure a women like that. A preferred tactic would be a direct shot to the neck for me, very quick and can end a confrontation in an instant.

too the stupid fucker o hare at the top....THE FEMALE GROIN IS SENSITIVE TOO VERY SENSITIVE. I have seen MANY time a woman go down. I've by accident kneed my girlfriend and she was in pain. Mind a guy's groin is way more sensitive,but MOST FEMALES will tell you it DOES HURT. By the way,i've got more news for you...the penis is not NEARLY as sensitive as the balls...ya stupid fuck. Think about it. Flick a guy's penis. Then flick his balls,just one,right or left. You can slap his penis,try slapping his balls. BIG diffrence.

Well, I have been kicked there...Doesn't hurt at all...

who said tht kicking a female's groin is not taught as a form of self defense. an attack to the male n female groin r taught in most of the martial arts. u can kick a male or a femlae in the groin for a self defense purpose , but not for a time pass. i myself have kicked women during martial art classes, n serioulsy it does hurt. even i have been kicked n kneed several times,the pain is unbearable. both male n female will drop to the ground when they get kicked in thier private.

Those idiots who say it doesnt do a thing are lying to themselves and have never seen the technique used in a combat situation. For those who said, yes it does have a significant effect are correct. Go learn combat science and the female anatomy and youll know why it hurts pretty much.

Because violence against women is a real problem, and most people would not advocate teaching it even under a pretence of self defense.

Because it hurts as much as hitting a male in the same place and brings them to their knees. It gives the attacker a great advantage!

Why is everyone obsessed with kicks to the male or female groin? You want pain --- what's the big difference between a groin shot and a shot to the kidneys or liver. You want damage --- kick a knee, the trachea, or the head. Fights should always be avoided because there is always the chance of permanent injury (and subsequent jail time). And causing another severe pain is not a good thing either. Yes, kicking to the groin is a sexual attack. In self defence, fine. But kicking a male or female in the groin without need is almost always an over-reaction. If a crazy woman tried to kick me in the groin (society accepts it or even jokes about it, so it's ok?) the gloves would come off and she would not get a second chance. The same if she tried to poke my eye. I'd probably grab her throat and knock her head into a wall. People are people. Both men and women can be badly hurt in a fight. Even stabbed or shot. It's not worth it. And we should be better than that.

Anonymous answer 9 out of 31 said it best. Plain sexism. Do what you need to defend yourself against a woman (or man) theyre just a human and prone to groin attacks. Beat her if you must, do not fall prey to todays (one sided) views of women.

I have seen girls, well, actually one girl, struck in the crotch and I wouldn't want to see it again. She was in way more pain than I ever saw a guy in from the same strike. I don't know if that's exactly right but we kind of crumple and fold in; they just scream in agony and roll around frantically. It was not a pretty sight.

Bullfrog, that seems to be quite the reaction a woman will have to suffer. I dont know why there are idiots thinking it doesnt hurt. If they know anything abuot their anatomy, they know it will hurt.

Why to kick females in the groin, you can kick where ever you want. All the places of their body are like the male's groin kick. So for self defense, you can kick a girl in her stomach or anywhere you wish. Dam sure, it will be same as male's nut shot. Funny females...

I take martial arts, and it is taught to both males and females that the groin is an extremely sensitive target for females. I have sparred without protection and have been struck in my womanhood, and let me tell you, it is agonizingly painful.

Because you can hurt badly a woman wherever you hit..

As far as pain goes im sure it dosent even close to child birth

You think? http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/2/2d/Cuntpunch.gif :)

I believe it is.And it is extreamly effective strike on a female!!I was kicked hard once in the womanhood and it droped me in the just most excuciating pain i ever felt in my life!! So horiffic a pain I felt like I was going to passout on the floor!!
