The "low blow"

Groin attack is considered to be a "low blow" not only in the literal sense, but also metaphorically. In a playful attack, or attack in the framework of a sport, a low blow is seen as unfair or improper. It is often considered dishonorable. Strikes to the groin are almost universally forbidden in martial arts competitions, including boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts competitions where full-contact strikes are normal and permitted. Testicle attacks were, however, allowed until the 1980's in Thai boxing (Muay Thai). Many martial arts organizations require competitors to wear protective cups, as do many other sports. Direct strikes to the groin are generally considered illegal in professional wrestling, as well; however, in certain "hardcore" matches where the rules are relaxed, such attacks are allowed. In a hostile attack, a low blow may be considered more appropriate. The technique is often, though not always, effective. Women are taught that the groin attack is one of the key maneuvers in fending off a would-be rapist.

The groin attack, if used properly, generally results in temporary incapacitation of the victim due to the sensitivity of the testicles. In a vast majority of cases, while painful, no lasting harm is done. However, in some extreme cases, from a very hard blow or squeeze, the testicle can rupture. In such cases hospitalization is necessary and if the testicle cannot be repaired, it must be removed. In extremely rare cases a hard blow or squeeze can result in neurogenic shock and rarely death. This is due to the sudden extreme pain, but is very rare and has only happened in a few confirmed cases.
