Not very effective imo.

Edit: Also look up the cremaster muscle.

Evidently, they could go in neck-first, too. I don't really understand this response, though. Do you think these guys are super fragile aside from their nuts or something?

No, I think they need quite some time to prepare their body to receive those shots. As in if they start moving around, they will likely get dropped. I doubt also they can take consecutive shots well or to places they are not expecting (in all those types of demonstrations, they know in advance where they are being hit, and have time to prepare themselves for it), and some places you cant really 'tough it out' like the chin.

Basically to me they are like human punching bags that can probably take 4-5 hits before getting ktfo.

I think that being sterile is the least of their concerns... They are monks after all. That being said, I winced.
I post only when my brain works.

Save to assume they train more than just their balls.
After all, they are shaolin monks.

"I've got balls of steel"

I believe that's appropriate right now.

There are spots on the body that you just can't train to take a punch. In fact, it's starting to look more and more as though these spots not only can't be trained but actually cause more severe reactions over time due to excessive training and/or repeated impacts.

Everyone can get KO'd. Some easier than others, but everyone goes down when you hit them in the right spot. There are times when your body just physically cannot continue due to physiological damage. It doesn't matter what degree of mental fortitude you have... anyone who has seriously hurt themselves knows exactly what I'm talking about. It sucks.

That being said, the question then becomes... who is better at not getting hit?
