Um...it all depends on how you hit. If you hit wrong (which it seems
you're doing) then it'll hurt. If you hit correctly, it's not going to
hurt _and_ it can be extremely devastating. How hard and how you hit is
more important. This is wear training (read: skill level) becomes
important in the fight. A better skilled opponent will hit correctly, and
harm the lesser skilled opponent.

But you are right on one thing: a kick to the groin's not going to stop a
fight. That's why you follow it up.
