Iron Crotch Kung Fu is meant to train male sexual health, practitioners believe

This is really nuts.

Chinese martial arts has always attracted fans from all over the world, with its combination of power, precision and elegance.

Partly popularised through Hong Kong and Western action movies, it also appeals to those who are looking to learn more about Chinese culture, given that it embodies the philosophy and values of self-cultivation and discipline.

Shaolin (少林) and Wudang (武当) are two of the most famous schools of martial arts known to the world.

But there are also other obscure forms, that leaves outsiders scratching their heads and wondering what the world is going on.

Enter Master Wei Yaobin from Luoyang, who has built a reputation as an "Iron Crotch Kung Fu" practitioner for over ten years. He owns and runs a Kung Fu studio, teaching the art of how to take powerful blows to nether regions.

In Iron Crotch Kung Fu, learners subject themselves to strong blows and aim to build up resistance with training, in the unscientific belief that there are health benefits that can improve male sexual health.

Master Wei says that Iron Crotch Kung Fu was an exclusive practice and that only family members could previously inherit it, but are trying to make it more accessible: “We want it to be more popular and accepted by public.”

Some of the moves include voluntarily getting kicked by strong men.

And also hitting the crotch with bricks.

Some also take a swinging log to the nuts.

Ouch! See the painful full video here:
