he felt the triangle and proceeded to press his finger very hard onto the area between my front and back (gooch). As soon as he did this I gasped for air (weird reaction, but apprently this is common) and i released the triangle.

Is this illegal in mma? in grappling? its not technically a groin shot, it hurts like hell, and i dont care who you are, you are not holding onto that triangle when that is done to you.

Is there any way to defend against this? why isnt it utilized?

Sounds like your coach should be in prison... and he'd probably enjoy being there too!

Arnold don't play that gay shit, man.

Seriously though, it was his friend Dudley that almost got the bike shop owner's "special attention"; Arnold had already bailed by that point.

I've always wondered if attacking a pressure point while in a choke was legal. Once I got caught in a guillotine but pinched the webbing between their thumb and index finger hard, which always makes someone release their grip. I haven't heard anything saying it isn't illegal.
