There's a story in this somewhere...

With an Oakland Tribune reporter and 20 people looking on in November in a parking lot in Fremont, Calif., Tu Jin-Sheng, 50, "grandmaster" in one of the Chinese arts of Qigong, pulled a rental truck several yards using only a piece of fabric tied to the base of his genitals. Jin-Sheng is supposedly a leader of the branch of Qigong known as "Iron Crotch," whose 60,000 adherents worldwide believe that strengthening the genitals increases energy. To warm up for the pull, Jin-Sheng had an assistant kick him hard between the legs.

That is the sentence I'm still having difficulty with.

I am not at all familiar with "Iron Crotch." There is a well known form of Qigong called "Iron Shirt." I have seen a Chinese monk resist a sharp pointed spear pushed into his bare chest until the shaft of the spear bent noticably. After the demo, we were allowed to examine the spear. It indeed had a sharp, iron point and a fairly substantial shaft.

Kinda make you wonder what the cool down is afterward.

Idle hands? I'd prefer the truck just idle.

What's the definiton of "assistant" again?

Depends on how the rope's tied, I guess.
