Doc has repeatedly stated that groin shots do not make people bend forward at the waist. Over the six years I have trained I have noted two different responses to groin shots.
1. Light shots to the groin cause my opponent to bend his knees slightly, thrust his hips back and maintain his center of gravity bymoving his shoulders forward.
2. Hard shots to the groin cause the recipient to bend at the knees and drop straight to the floor. They then either gasp for breath and don't move or roll sideways to the floor groaning.
In neither case do they bend forward at the waist. I anticipate 2 other variables on the street.
A. The lack of cup may change the physiologic response.
B. An intoxicated or drugged opponent may not respond at all to a groin shot.
Do others have similar experiences to mine?
