Looking For A New Workout? Try Iron Crotch Kung Fu

New York Post: He has balls of steel. China’s Wang Liutai is one of the few remaining trustees of a reportedly 300-year-old discipline in which the practitioner uses their scrotum as a shield, Reuters reported.

Dubbed “iron crotch kung fu,” the painful-seeming technique requires the 65-year-old to regularly brace himself as an 88-pound, steel-capped log repeatedly rams his nether regions.

“As long as you push yourself, you will feel great,” said Wang, who has been practicing iron crotch kung fu for around 50 years. He teaches the ball-busting exercise at the Juntun Martial Arts Academy in Luoyang, Henan Province.

Despite seeming like an excruciating form of contraception, Wang maintains that the fighting form has no adverse effects if executed correctly. “Please don’t worry about this,” assured the the father of two. “If practicing this damaged this part of the body permanently, then over time no one would do it.”

Unfortunately, it appears that this manhood-mauling martial art may not father many followers in the future, Reuters reported. Whereas Wang’s village boasted as many as 80 iron crotch practitioners when he was a kid, now there are only five, including the master himself.

A lot of people have been trying new at-home workouts with gyms closing/at limited capacity, so here's a new one to add to the mix: iron crotch Kung Fu. As you can see from the video above, the work out is a pretty simple one. It involves taking an 88 pound tree trunk right to the dick over and over again. The theory is that it will help your pain tolerance. "If you can take a tree trunk to the crotch, you can take anything."

Personally, I'd rather just not be able to take a tree trunk to the dick and roll the dice that I never have to endure anything that painful. I still have nightmares about the time 11 years ago where my friend lined up and kicked me in the dick for no reason whatsoever and I withered in pain for hours. (This was between us doing cool stuff like playing football, smoking cigarettes, and making out with chicks). 

I don't know what for, but I know this man should be arrested. Anyone who voluntarily does this must have a dark past. Just go jerk off or something, dude. You also have to imagine he started this after already having his two children. Hey, anything to get out of the house and escape the wife and kids, am I right fellas?

And don't think I'll let this blog end without addressing that his name is Wang. Hilarious.
