I've been playing a ton of Kinect games for review lately, and one of these is Ubisoft's Self Defense Training Camp. The game aims to teach you a variety of techniques that you can employ to get yourself out of a dangerous situation.
I found the whole experience to be thoroughly enlightening and wanted to put together a video which showcased how there's a way to escape absolutely any problem.

I have to say, as a krav maga practitioner, groin kicks are actually essential to self defense. We are not talking about hitting a guy because he looked badly at your girlfriend here, rather fighting to survive. You don't care about honor and such things then.
Another perfect example of Ubisoft quality! I can't wait to order two copies. I wish Capcom would put out games like this but they are greedy corporate shit heads.
When you work in mental health you have to go on a self defence course and one of the first things they tell you to do is go for the nuts. As cool as it would be to pull out some slick kung-fu move or some SAS nerve pinch malarkey, nine times out of ten the easiest, quickest and most effective thing you can do is belt an attacker hard in the crotch.

Self Groin Defense Training camp is not liable for any groin grievous bodily groin harm that may groin occur. Home Vasectomy Mode groin requires signing groin enclosed waiver and is 2 groin player only.
I bet this game is almost as fraudulent as it looks. The worst part about stuff like this is that it will actually make some people think that they can make it work under the intense pressure of what could be a life-or-death encounter with weapons, multiple attackers, various worst case scenario incidents.
So after watching this video I told my roommate I want it to practice a new technique I learn on a website. I told him to grab me how ever he wanted to, guess what I did!? IT WORKS!
