    You know there is an "iron ball sack" kongfu as well. When you master it, your balls can crack the bat hitting at them.

    And by master it, you mean getting hit in the balls repeatedly until they go numb.

    It blew my mind when I found out that was done with someone standing/strapped behind David and sticking his arm around. Michael Moschen is his name.

    That’s exactly what I was thinking. That one move where he’s contorting his body while his head remains on the floor is something straight out of breakdancing.

    He could land and lower himself wrong but hes cushioning impact away from balls. It just happens really fast.

    He’s performing a Kata.

    A Kata demonstrates skills and choreographed fight moves that incorporate fight strategies (e.g. kata for in-fighting strategy, kata for working angles, kata for defense, offense etc. From a practitioner perspective it strengthens their legs, increases flexibility, improves balance, and develops proprioception / body awareness.

    There’s no reason to do the splits in a fight but being able to, as demonstrated in the kata, means better range of motion and in turn better kicks and more freedom in grappling (easier to get out of submissions and harder to submit).

    Someone with these skills could easily render most of the population unable to continue a fight after a few head or body strikes.

    Just because routines and poses are passed down as tradition and practices for skill/show, that doesn't mean it can't be stripped back to "practically" knock someone out.

    Whenever there is a clip of some impressive martial arts, it's obligatory to have a "yeah, but how will it do against the man on the street who can't fight for shit eh?"

    Vibes very similar to Olympic athlete training camps, which also feel kinda icky to me. I get that you need to get them young to push people to pinnacle of what the human body can do but i always feel like they are being robbed of a normal childhood.
