Istanbul, man earns money taking hits

This man in Istanbul earns money… taking hits

Hasan Rıza Günay has been earning money for 11 years in a curious way: taking hits to “help” people to release stress. Inspired by a famous Turkish comedy from the late 70s, “Şark Bülbülü”, he decided to dedicate himself to take “beatings” to relieve those people who are bored, angry with their boss, or who simply want to release adrenaline. Günay, who defines himself as a “stress coach“, bases his therapy – which even received a patent in 2012 – on his clients unloading their negative thoughts and emotions against him, in order to free themselves from them.
