Why don't guys kick each other in the balls during fights?

In your experience = anecdotal.

Doesn't mean that because you havn't seen it that you should close your mind off to what happens outside of your circle.

Our "argument" only started due to you writing this:



Using words like "never", and talking about how getting a beatdown is always better than defending yourself using low blows. It's bullshit. It's not a sport and it's not entertainment unless both have agreed upon it. There's no unwritten rules, there's only prejudice over what's acceptable on the side of the attacker. Fuck him.

Dude, I'm not looking to get in a fight about it, chill, LOL. People have different experiences in life. I have never seen a reason to kick a guy in the balls, if you feel its necessary, well that's your choice. I suspect that quote from Bruce Lee is probable out of context. I'm sure he did not actually believe that every fight you are trying to survive.

I'd never do that in a more typical fight situation "outside of a bar with people around you" because I wouldn't want to escalate the fight. If I'm jumped by someone in a dark alley without reason then it's a different kind of context and I'd be willing to do more.

But that's the thing though, you're using "never" and how it's better to get a beatdown than to use anything other than what is written in your fake bravado unwritten rules. You're not talking about any particular situation but simply generalising everything.

Honestly there's nothing to argue about anymore anyway, you talked only based on your personal experiences which makes your arguments narrow minded and limited. I'm chill, just pushing knowledge into you.
 
Because normal fights are still between human beings.
If it's a real fight on life or death, sure, i would not hesitate. But i would also go for eyes, adams apple, etc.

Sorry next time I'll talk out my ass and refer to thing I have never experienced. "I'm chill just pushing knowledge into you" that's one of the weirdest things I have ever read. When I'm trying to stuff my view into another person I don't consider that being chilled.
 
I am a big fella, I've been in some scraps, so my normal course of action is descaling the situation. I think if I were to smash someone's plums I would end up crying in the gutter right beside them. And I broke a lads arm in a little tussle.

Though, I don't ever feel I've been in a situation where it's actually life or death so if it's kill or be killed, say goodbye to your baby makers.

You can refer them without actually instilling shit like "never" and denying what has been said before you trying to make it sound like you knew what you were talking about. It's common knowledge that not all fights are one and the same by the way, it's not talking out of your ass but being aware that shit exist outside of your own little circle. Glad you noticed my poke at you, I don't think I could have made it more clear.
 
Ira: Ok, gentlemen, listen up. After a clean strike to the chest, stomach, or kidneys, I will separate you and award a point. The first person to three wins. Alright?

Dwight: Yes, Sensei!

Michael: Alotta rules. Alotta rules. On the street we didn't have any rules.
Maybe one - no kicks to the groin, home for dinner.
 
If you miss, the other person is going to beat the shit out of you. Like seriously who attempts to kick someone in the balls during a fight? Even if you're loosing its just such a bitch move that deserves no respect.
 
I have seen people post "How do you know if the fight is life or death?" Well let's put it like this. Most type of fights that would be deemed OK to go for "Ball shots" or "Eye gouging" start with a person either using a weapon (Knife, bottle, chair, etc), going for a cheap blind shot or fighting with his buddies helping. At these moments anything goes but honestly a ball shot is far from a solution here. People don't always go down and sometimes their pants are saggy enough where you can't hit it at full power.
 
If you go there and kick someone on the balls, be sure that one person is not walking away from that fight.
Unless is a last resort, you don't want to escalate to that level, it will just get uglier.
 
If you've willingly entered a fight, there is a unspoken code. No kicking in balls, (usually no kicking in general), no stabbing eyes, no weapons, etc.

if you're fighting for your life. all rules go out the window.

I was about to say this.

Short answer, no. It's not OK to kick the balls in a fight any more than it's OK to gouge an eye out.

Still fair game.

Or why not just stab them? Shoot them?

The answer is because it's just a fight... Not a fight to the death. Seriously, people...

I can't help but wonder if this mentality is why so many fights end in stabbing or shootings these days...

no kicking in general hahaha, that's what slobs say when they're getting their ass kicked. (litterally) Fights are not boxing contests, if you're confronting or attacking someone that either practiced or practices martial arts, you better be prepared that he will use everything that has been enforced into his body and mind during the countless hours he's studied/trained.
 
i think in the realm of normalcy Men know if you go that way and you lose..there's a very good chance your opponent will kick your balls into a pulp and you can kiss a normal sex life and potential reproduction away.

Dude knocks you out? Someone wakes you up..you go to the hospital if needed and get back on with your life...Balls turned into applesauce...ya life changing.

Now someone is trying to kill you ..thats different..but the regular testosterone male bullshit..I won't go there if he don't go there.
 
I wouldn't even say it's down to some code or anything. Like someone else said, it's a high commitment attack and if you fuck it up then you've put your own balls at risk since it's essentially you saying anything goes.

If you're gonna go for it, you better make sure it's a critical fucking hit.
 
I'm surprised our organs arent internal by now, you'd think in fights with rivals in the past, nuts would be the first thing to go. I think chimpanzees tear off nuts in fights. I guess respect goes along way back.

Just a fight eh? I seriously question how many people have been in an actual fight posting in here. Fighting in a ring is one thing. Even having a mutually agreed upon squabble is similar. You usually don't see intentional groin shots in either of those scenarios. But when you get attacked by someone it can be for many reasons and its not always mutually agreed upon. When that happens, yes, you are fighting for your life. I've seen it happen right in front of my eyes. Some words were spoken and my friend clocked a dude in the head. One shot and the guy fell and smacked his head off the concrete, he got up to walk away and collapsed. He died. Friend went to jail for manslaughter. Any time you get in a fight it could very well be the last thing you do. If you get attacked by some crazy person, you better damn well fight for your life. That doesn't mean try to kill the person but to defend yourself with the mentality that you might actually die because you may very well.
 
Out of all the fights I've ever been in, I've never kicked a guy in the nuts or punched his face. Personally, I don't want to cause massive damage like that. I feel bad enough as it is once a fight is over because I just physically hurt a person. No matter how much he deserved it (in my opinion), I still feel remorse afterward. Kicking a guy in the nuts during a fight is just something I subconsciously avoid...I suppose because it's a like punching a dude from behind and getting in a sucker punch.

Most of the fights I've been in were just scuffles anyway, mainly a bunch of pushing and a few punches or kicks here and there. None of that "Meet me after school in the back at 3PM" with a circle of kids standing around watching as we stretch and taunt before getting it on. I admit though that I did kick someone in the nuts impulsively and accidentally once.

I was at my locker in 8th grade and this rather heavy friend of mine walked up behind me and sat on my back as I crouched at my locker. I couldn't move and had trouble breathing. The entire time, he just sat on my back laughing. It was embarrassing and annoying. I finally found the strength to leap up, pushing him off my back and when I turned around I punted the ever living shit out of his nuts. I wasn't aiming for that. I didn't mean to. But I felt a distinct crunch and it was too late. I had to keep up the whole "I said stop it, so quick fucking with me!" thing so he knew I meant business even though I felt bad immediately.

Dude didn't come to school the next day. Showed me respect ever since that incident lol. But it felt so cheap to kick him in the nuts. You just don't do it. If it's a life and death situation though? Fuck that, your nuts are getting steamrolled homie, I don't give a fuck.
 
or why not just get naked to get the upper hand in a fight because seriously what real man is going to fight a naked grown man? You would not want to be seen rolling on the ground tussling with a naked guy, advantage naked guy.
 
I got jumped once and kicked in the balls twelve times. So i will kick the shit out of someones balls. that shit hits you right in the soul.

The only proper way to fight naked is jiu jitsu or wrestling. Preferably both naked. In a tub of jelly.
 
In the early days of the Bro Code a young Roman named Barnacus Stinsonitus got involved in a bar brawl.

During this brawl his opponent was kicked in the balls so hard they actually fell off. (Unknown to Barnacus, or anyone else, the man was a secret leper.)

Barnacus felt so bad about this that he announced that no longer shall men kick each other in the balls except in the most dire of circumstances. Or if involved in a game of Roshambo.

Word quickly spread throughout the known world and all men agreed.

And look what happened to Cage in the sequel.
He died 5 minutes into the movie.

What about a woman giving the Grand Slam in the Clam to another woman? Is it okay?

I kicked someone in the nuts once. He went straight down to the ground. I thought I was a genius, but then he shook it off and he came back 10 times angrier than if I had just punched him in the face. If you are going to kick someone in the nuts you better run straight away.

Apparently (according to Wikipedia at least) it's just as bad or worse for women. The description of the clitoris being forced into the pubic bone was enough to make me wince and I'm a man.

I've been in several fights, not the type that happen in the ring, but thanks for assuming otherwise just because I don't think you should immediately go for crippling attacks, lol.

Also, based on the story you told, your friend deserves jail time for being the aggressor anyway. Your friend was the crazy person who attacked and I kind of doubt you're telling the whole story. Your friend is the perfect example of why going for crippling blows in a fight is the wrong answer. Sucker-punching someone full force? Come on, now... In a fight you try to win, get to a point in which the other person concedes or backs off because they don't want anymore. You don't try to permanently injure them... but maybe I'm too nice and doing it wrong? Now, if the other person decides to pull some shit and try to seriously injure me? Then all bets are off, you just don't start there. There has to be an escalation of force. I don't recall ever throwing the first punch in a fight, I usually try to avoid the fight altogether and mostly succeed in avoiding it. It's been a while since I've been in a real fight.
