3/25/2004: Monk takes one to the groin
 
http://cellar.org/2004/monkballs.jpg

Official cap: Former Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, D-Culver City, kicks Zhang Xiao Ju betweent the legs during a demonstration performed by Buddhist monks at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif. Monday. In their first visit to the United States, a group of Shaolin martial artists from SongShan, China demonstrated acrobatic flips and shows of strength among other things. With the monks urging him on, Wesson made several kicks to the monk who showed no emotion.

I have no comment.

We've come a long long way.....

Imagine if this picture were published in the 50's or 60's? ... You've gotta admit, it's pretty metaphorical... I'm not exactly sure what the metaphor is, but the US flag in the background is a nice touch.


also: HOLY SHIT HOW IS THAT DUDE ABLE TO JUST STAND THERE AND NOT FLINCH FROM BEING KICKED IN THE *BALLS*???

I think that's gotta be the ugliest freakin' carpeting I've ever seen! What the hell were they thinking? Does CA have a Sect'y of the Interior I could email or something?

I understand it completely. It's the color of money.

How do we know that this monk has, in fact, any balls at all?

This is California. They probably have a Secretary of the Interior Decoration...

I'd read the monks can pull them up into their abdomen as an exercise.
Or his name is Nancy.;)

Torrere 03-25-2004 05:22 PM

Mr. Wesson must not be very well balanced.

No Balls
 
I'm with Glatt and Bruce, he either aint got none or he's sucked em up into his abdomen for this demo. I cant believe anyone would allow someone else to smash the hell out of their manhood just to demonstrate discipline or mind over matter or whatever.
Or are the monks so far advanced that they can actually prevent their body from reacting in a normal way (eg swollen balls - perhaps internal bleeding). That would be rather impressive. If so, I think the next demonstration should involve a shotgun to the chest. Seein a monk cop that without flinching (or dying) would be REALLY IMPRESSIVE!

I've seen the touring shaolin and they are beyond amazing. And it is rumored that the more skilled of them *can* pull their nads up into their abdomen.

I was intrigued by this so I just did a little research on google. From what I have read it looks like:
A: There is a particular move in the Shaolin martial arts style, that they teach people to preform called the Tuite Technique. The Tuite Technique consists of grabbing your opponents testicles, and then twisting and pulling at the same time.
B: As a way to counter the effects of the above Tuite Technique they teach the monks to resist huge amounts of pain. I couldn't find anything that says for sure that they learn to retract their testicles, but I did find lots of references to hanging 50+ pound (and heaver) weights from the testicles as a way or training the body not to register the pain.

Remind me never to get in a fight with one of those guys.

that's nothing

I saw video of a lady stamping a guy's nuts into a tile floor with her high heels. He seemed to enjoy it. These are just some kinky monks, that's all.

Unofficial cap: Former Assembly Speaker Herb Wesson, D-Culver City, kicks Zhang Xiao Ju between the legs. Mr. Wesson was demonstrating for Californians the relative effects of tax increases and service cuts which will be required to balance the budget.
