Chi gung by swinging weights from testicles?

[shmuel]

Has anyone ever heard of this practice?
Is it for real.
I've heard about it from several sources over the years, and it seems like they are being serious.
For example this guy.

Can this make your body healthier and stronger? Or is the whole thing just a joke?

I own the silver tonfa like device. I got it from a seminar that I didn't attend because I was sick with the flu. pretty much a worthless pos.

I think the weights are meant to develop that capability to draw the testes up into the abdomen. So it doesn't hurt if someone were to kick the groin. I've seen video (not of the exercise) of Shaolin kicking each other like 100 times betwen the legs. Must have been before cups.

I had a Chi Kung book that said not to have sex unless its for offspring and had exercises to "build chi". I threw that shit in the garbage. No, not Half-Priced Books, not given to a friend, in the garbage.

I've seen these types of things done on tv but would advise you not to do this as it will most likely cause you to be sterile. If you are not concerned with this type of thing and want magic balls of chi please continue

[Question!]

What I want to know is, if I practise this form of qi gong, will I be able to teabag someone so hard that I could cause a concussion or death?

Yes, but your superhero / MMA / pro-wrestling outfit must be crotchless.

I think that Mike Patterson and James McNeil practice this as part of their Shih Shui training.

That's because you have no balls.

[Dr._Tzun_Tzu]

In order for this theory to work, you must have a cavity in your muscle wall for you to pull the balls up into. This would require, according to their practice, for the balls to be pushed up in there when you are very young when the natural cavity is still hollow. Then as you grow and develope abdominal muscles and body cavity wall muscles, a hollow tube remains.

The weights are for making the muscle in the balls stronger and to control it to pull it up inside at will. When you are kicked in the groin, that muscle reflex pulls the balls into your body but since we have no hollow it just smashes them against the muscles of the abdominal wall.

So fools that start in adult life are actually making the muscle STRONGER and when they get kicked it will pull HARDER and hurt MORE. Typical Chi Kung nonsense. the joke is on whitey as usual.



(caveate: I have no idea what anatomy names to use for the muscles in question or it it is possible to stuff the balls in when young so you can have a cavity left to pull them into at will when older. Its just something I read years ago. Do not try this on your children you perverts)

For some people, the hole where the testicles go down into the scrotum stay open. For example, yours truly.

This isn't a problem until the intestine gets stuck in that hole, and try to sneak their way into your scrotum. That's what we call an "inguinal hernia", where the hernia is the scientific term for "bit that gets stuck where it shouldn't".

Then, when like me you live in Canada, you get to wait a wonderful 2-3 years before having it operated to stop your intestines from trying to meet your feet.

Note that while this condition is not immediately life-threatening, there can be complications if the intestines get stuck in there. They can, sorta, die, and then release a lot of, well, shit into my abdomen. Gangrene for the win!
