Gents, this one's for you
I'm not sure women can truly appreciate how tough this guy is, but this video -- the most wince-inducing five minutes you're likely to see in your lifetime -- is proof of the power of mind over matter.
On a serious note, it illustrates how dangerous it can be for cops to go "hands on" with crooks; an ability to control pain renders less-than-lethal tools and techniques, like shotgun beanbag rounds, Tasers and baton strikes, completely useless.
A man who can take 1,100 pounds of force applied to his pinatas and not even have a blip in his heartrate is a force to be reckoned with.
That hurt just watching!

Kirby should be checked to make sure that he has got any nads. Any guy who is crazy enough to spend his life gettin' kicked in the balls, is crazy enough to remove his balls to be a star.

I'm willing to bet that he does the sumo wrestler's trick of retracting the stones into the abdomen before he's actually hit in the soft bits. I doubt that a learned response is sufficient to keep the nuts from being, unh, cracked with a force that great.
The kick then would feel like a hard kick to soft tissue but not cause the intense pain of a "nut shot."
