A groin attack is a deliberate strike to the groin area of one's opponent. The technique can be quickly debilitating due to the sensitivity of the groin area and genitalia and is sometimes used as a self-defense technique. The technique is often banned in sports.

Although kicking an opponent in the groin is the most obvious method, the most popular version sees an attacking wrestler drop to their knees and raise their arm up between the opponent's legs, striking the groin with the inside of their elbow-joint.

The intermediate cutaneous nerve (middle cutaneous nerve) pierces the fascia lata (and generally the sartorius) about 7.5 cm below the inguinal ligament, and divides into two branches which descend in immediate proximity along the forepart of the thigh, to supply the skin as low as the front of the knee.
the inguinal or groin region between the thigh and the abdomen, the pubic region surrounding the genitals, the femoral region encompassing the thighs, the patellar region encompassing the front of the knee, the crural region encompassing the lower leg, between the knee and ankle, the fibular region encompassing the outside of the lower leg,
