depends on the girl, some dont need to. i know a girl who can take on 3 guys at a time who are all bigger than her and put all three on the ground and beat them back down every time they get up. is amazing to watch seriously

You shouldn't be kicked in the balls. If you're worried about it, wear a cup. I have taken karate. No we don't kick in the balls.

g'day Sportsguy, Thanks for your question. No they wouldn't at least not deliberately. I would wear a cup. Most people would be apologetic. Someone with an unprofessional attitude would get banned. Regards

Man I hope not. Wear a cup and protect yourself. I doubt that they will actually try to hit you there but mistakes can happen so always be watchfull .

It will be on accident.

I have to honest here and say that girls who join these classes do so to learn the most effective way to defend themselves. We are told from an early age that the testicles are the most delicate part of a boy's body, and that a kick there will cause him to double up in agony, but until you actually exoerience that first-hand it is very difficult for a girl to believe. So truthfully, even if they say that it was accidental, pretty well all girls will deliberately kick a guy there at some point. And yes, thay probably will find it funny, and laugh. Thay are not laughing AT you though: it is more of an embarrassed giggle, and most girls will empathise with your pain. Accidental kicks are far more common however. The testicles are terribly exposed and will inevitably suffer the occasional blow. This will not happen in full contact sparring though as it is compulsory for all males to wear a protective "box" which prevents a direct blow the the glands themselves. A blow there will still hurt quite a bit even using a box, but the pain is much reduced, probably to the point of being equivalent to a girl being hit in the same area. There is good news though. Perversly, girls often hit boys that they fancy in the balls so perhaps you will be more than compensated by the unsuing comforting, and possible dating?! Good luck!

Only a very few people would hurt someone intentionally. If you are kicked there, jump up and land on your *heels* (not the balls of your feet) a few times - my master showed me that, and it really helps for some reason.

The girls and guys will be "SIMULATING" kicking you in the groin .... However; ACCIDENTS do happen ... so to PROTECT yourself ; just wear a CUP ... and you will be ok ... +5

If that happens, the instructor should react. If He doesn't You should change the school. . And before leaving do this: http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/2/2d/Cuntpunch.gif
