Should not have gone nuts Bobby

This scene is from the King of The Hill episode "Bobby Goes Nuts" Episode 1 Season 6.

If your wondering why Hank Hill looks pissed at his son Bobby it's because Bobby kicked him in the nuts while trying to give Bobby some Boxing lessons and poor Hank can barely move no thanks to Bobby's dirty fighting.

I think about this episode of King of The Hill as an example as to why dirty fighting simply doesn't work, especially if it is groin shots.

Here are my reasons why Bobby Hill would never had won a fight using only groin shots in real life.

1) Women don't have testicles

At the end of the episode when Bobby is being a brat about his punishment, his mother Peggy starts taking matters into her own hands and starts a fight with Bobby. After giving him a few love taps that annoy the hell out of him, he then tries to kick her in the groin.

Not surprisingly she is unfazed due to the fact that she is a woman and therefore has no testicles, rending his "technique" ineffective. After embarrassing Booby in front of the neighbors, Hank calls her off and tells Bobby how he can get his wife Peggy to do that anytime, implying to Bobby that it's not so fun when someone else doesn't fight fair.

While women do not have testicles, hitting a woman in that spot can still hurt them. Not as much hitting a man in the testicles, but still painful nonetheless.

2) Groin shots should not be your only technique.

Even though groin shots are the most effective technique, there still should be other attacks you have.

I cannot tell you how many martial arts based films I have seen, let alone how many times I have seen the same ones, but the same rule of thumb applies. The bad guys/girls and good guys/ good girls perform various striking movements with their arms, legs and weapons, along with grappling moves, before they perform their ultimate attack

Using the same damn technique over and over again will eventually catch on to your opponent and they will use that to their advantage.

3) Women's Self-Defense is not a real martial art

Many styles of Martial Arts like Wing Chun and Karate started out as styles of self-defense rather than warfare like Pankration and Shuai Jiao and would eventually evolve into the styles of martial arts we know today.

The fact that you women out there need to defend yourselves from "men" who wish to force themselves upon is your right. But knowing a few moves including groin shots to take down a man doesn't mean you can take on the world. That's what Bobby failed to learn in this episode and which leads us to

4) There are people like me

I have been doing the martial arts on and off again since I was 16. I was a Brown Belt in some Korean art (Taekwondo?) Gold Sash in Shaolin Kung-fu, some Aikido and Judo, Renaissance and Olympic styles of fencing, Southern Mantis kung-fu and I am currently practicing Shotokan Karate with an 8th Kyu.

To sum it up: well trained martial artists like myself expect those who have no training to fight dirty (like Bobby) and are prepared to fight those who get stupid enough to pick a fight (like Michael Kelso did in the "That 70's show" episode "Jackie's Cheese Squeeze.)

In the end, it was Sun Tzu who said it best when said "The greatest victory is that which requires no battle."
