Would this hurt: A girl jumps on a guys stomach?

Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GopPxEDRVug

In this martial art demonstration 2 girls (about 110-130 pounds) jump on a guys stomach from a height.

How can he take that?

Thanks

Answer 1

From that small height, and those light of girls, under proper conditioning and whatnot, it turns into a rather easy trick and takes no effort at all. Although this conditioning can be learned through martial arts, it's not really a martial artist trick. Think of it the same as someone squeezing your bicept and trying to squish it, the stronger your arm is the less likely it is going to get squished. I am not as large as the man shown, in fact i am probably a hundred pounds lighter than him but i know for a fact that i could do the same thing, there is the chance though that a foot could miss and hit you in the solarplexus which would hurt, but if each foot hit directly on the abs, there would be nothing to worry about.

Answer 2

lots and lots of stomach muscle training. makes the abdominals like a block of wood. mind control does play a part in this but strengthening the abs is more important. no matter how mentally prepared you are if your stomach muscles are not up to the job then serious injury will be sustained upon impact. i have been practicing martial arts for 27 years and would never allow anybody to jump on any part of my body for the entertainment of others-thats not what its about!!.

Answer 3

this is not a martial art.

It is a display of s&m as the guy obviously likes pain.

you can die from this. There is no "martial arts" or body tricking involved here.

Actually this kind of thing is what killed whodini- but times ten. Maybe thats what he is trying to show.

EDIT: "chi" training is a fraud. Anyone who says they can get you to do this by focusing your chi (unless they mean doing a buttload of ab excercises to make your stomach strong) is lying to you. You have as much chance of buying brooklyn bridge from them as you do learning any legitimate martial arts technique, no actually you have a better chance of acquiring the bridge.

Answer 4

A lot of people have asked this question. If:
1) The man has a strong gut &
2) The women are light.

It won't hurt.

Answer 5

Mmmm depends upon the size and the age of the girl. My niece who is 3 always jumps on me, it doesnt hurt. My girlfriend 120 pounds jumps on me - on my tummy - iam a flat pizza!

Answer 6

Did you hear him groaning! He probably can barely take that! One of the masters that works at my Tae Kwon Do school has HARD abs! As a drill we punch him in the stomach, it feels rock hard! It's like punching a wall! And he doesn't get hurt!

Answer 7

You hear the grunt/groan whatever you want to call that. Yeah it will mostly knock the wind out of you and some pain. The other thing to notice is the one in front, they somewhat block his view. All about mind control though.

Answer 8

The shaolin monks have a favourite demonstration where they get someone to kick them in the balls, and it doesn't seem to bother them.

The Shaolin monks do a lot of chi (energy) training. I think that's how they can do it.

If you want to do chi training the basic idea is to do your ordinary moves, but very very slowly.

Answer 9

There is a particular training called the iron shirt. Most practitioners of Ngung-(Millipede) kung fu practice this. It will make your torso like iron maybe not exactly like iron, but it will be alot harder than normal.

Answer 10

The abdominal muscles are very strong.
If you expel your air they get very tight, very strong.
This is completely possible. It is not magic, it is biology and training.
