It wasn't a beating, just one kick in karate class. We wore cups (groin guards) and protective equipment, but I was an adolescent and "changing" rapidly so my cup was several sizes too small.
We were also supposed to "pull" our kicks and punches, but my sparring partner didn't pull his kick to my groin and he broke my groin protector cup. It hurt so much I lost my breath and fell over until my sensei had me sit in an 'L' position while he lifted me from behind under my arms. That seemed to straighten things out.
I accidentally kicked a sparring partner in the nuts once when I was moving up to teep him in the chest but he started to close in too, he was not wearing a cup. I felt fucking terrible.
Ahhh, the 'ol testicle tickler. I've given and received a few of those :-/
lead leg inside thigh strikes are awesome.
I always lucked out and had my cup save me, but my condolences.
I did that on accident once. Was aiming for a chest kick, ended up giving a chick a full force groin kick and layed her out. They started making me spar with highschool boys after that. One eventually kicked me through the drywall lol.
My balls hurt just reading that
