I don't disagree that sometimes you can shake off a glancing hit, or stomach it for a minute...but I HAVE accidentily mind you, kneed people in the balls both in training and in a muay thai fight. On all counts, the person dropped and gasped for air, cried, screamed at me through clenched teeth, etc.
I remember quite clearly a big filipino guy (230+) I trained with for a while and I were doing clinch work and he opened up hit hip while I was doing curve knees. I didn't know that I'd GLANCED him until he went limp in my arms and dropped to the floor coughing and sucking air.
It all depends on the person, the hit, etc. etc. I mean...shit...ever seen any Maplethorpe pictures...like the one where the guy sticks his pinky down his shaft, or balances a stiletto on it? Pain is a relative thing...
