Spanish Mackerel

The Spanish Mackerel is a self defence move where the victim ducks down, grips the attacker’s balls as if he were milking a cow. While gripping tightly at the top of the ball bag, the victim starts to twist the ball bag. Once a slow but firm twist is established the attacker will hold their breath, at this point a fast additional turn will make the attacker scream like a spanish mackerel. This is a quick movement, in total may take up to 2 seconds although needs to be precise. Practice on a stocking with a boiled egg in it is recommended. True Spanish Mackerel Masters referee to as “Spankels” have been studying the art since birth although the basics can be learnt after a days practice.
