Self defence: boyfriend says balls aren't the best target. If it isn't then what is?

Question

He's saying that for a couple of reasons.

1# Because it's so vulnerable most guys these days know it's the first thing your gonna try and hit so they'll be on guard and be expecting it.

2# Being kicked in the balls won't always stop a guy some guys can straight up fight through the pain which I've done, some it'll only momentarily stop them, some will recover pretty quickly and others will go down like a sack of potatoes but just because you kick someone there doesn't at all mean they are going down.

I know a scholarship judo champion and she's even more of a smart ass than I am and she just said, "I under cut him, flip him on his back like a struggling roach with my knee in his groin and my fist battering that pretty face... cheat on me and act like it's nothing."

I took some women's self defence and then some actual jujitsu women's defence what I was taught before I'm now told doesn't actually work in real life. What we are taught now is that unless he is standing square and unless you are like a pro kickboxer a knee or kicking to the balls isn't going to do much as your not going to overpower an aggressive man physically, the best thing to do is to try to get away.

He's either lying, or referring to the eyes, "the Balls of the Head." But the eyes only work if you can reach and he's not too tall.

Breaking the nose, or blood running into the eyes from the eyebrows? Also: a knife in the stomach, or a good fist blow into the 'solar plexus'.

Eyes. You got long fingernails? Poke them in his eyes and then get away. Eye gouging is very effective, even without long fingernails.

Kick his balls and prove him wrong

Twalli · Answer

Technically the eyes and throat are pretty good targets if you can hit them. If you want to stop him coming after you then kicking out the knee is good, but only if you know how to do it
