Monkey Steals The Peach

“Monkey Steals The Peach” origins from one of the Chinese Four Great Classical Novels, ‘Journey to the West’. In the novel, Monkey King was once a door dog appointed by Jade Emperor in the heaven. During his duty, he stole a lot of peaches which were only served for the Emperor and Empress.

The term “Monkey Steals The Peach” is widely used in Chinese community to describe a type of martial arts that rips off the balls. This martial arts skill is described clearly in the ninja image above (taken from PhotoBasement).

MONKEY STEALS THE PEACH

This is the classical name for the upward groin slap. Drop to the right knee, swinging the arms like windmills to distract the enemy and deflect any defence he may offer. The left arm ends in joden, the rising forearm block, protecting the head as you drop low and slide forward without stepping. The right arm swings up and back, circling from the shoulder. Turn the palm up as it swings between the enemy’s feet to stun him.

APPLICATION of Monkey Steals The Peach

Whip the arms as described and strike the enemy’s groin with the open palm, fingers bent at first joint in a Monkey Paw or Tiger Claw fist. The impact will lift the enemy off the ground. Those skilled in chi kung can direct energy up the Ch’ueng Mo channel of the body and stop the heart. Followers of the Iron Hand styles immediately clench their fists rightly, with a crushing grip, and jerk the hand sharply back to the near hip, effectively ripping away the genitals. Massive blood loss causes death.

Although this is the easiest martial arts skill to perform, it only works on MEN. This technique could not be applied on any female.
