Cringeworthy Kung Fu..

Today we discovered a brand new style of Kung Fu... 'steel ball kungfu'!!!

Shaolin monk Yong Hsueh has described the sport as "an ancient art, with roots stretching back to ancient China. It’s a practice to strengthen and protect the male genital organs so there is less chance they are injured or incapacitated in battle."

This picture tells an interesting picture....
