You may not believe it, but slapping is now a sport with standard rules, weight classes, rounds, and even a world champion.
In fact, international “slap” championships have appeared before. Poland is the birthplace of the series of slapping events called Slap Fighting Championship, which even had championship matches. But with the appearance of a tournament with a format similar to UFC, the slapping competitions between fighters will be much more interesting.
The homepage of Power Slap said that this tournament will make a big turning point in the near future thanks to its simple but attractive rules. 2 fighters will take turns using their hands to slap each other in the face. The match takes place in 3 rounds, each round lasts 3 minutes, or until 1 of the 2 fighters can no longer continue.
The rules of Power Slap stipulate that before each match, the referee will flip a coin to decide which fighter gets to slap first. As the tournament system gradually improves with more athletes and is divided into seeds, the rankings of the fighters will determine who hits first. On the other side, the opponent will be prepared to “defend”.
Before each slap, the fighter has 30 seconds to prepare to strike. The person receiving the slap has 30 seconds after receiving the slap to recover, then stand up and prepare to slap the opponent back. According to the sharing of the promoter Dana White, Power Slap has the same basic competition rules as UFC but will be much more attractive because of the continuity in the competition.
Similar to other martial arts tournaments, the Power Slap World Championships are divided into men’s and women’s weight classes. After each round, judges score the bouts similarly to MMA, with a 10-9 or 10-8 win for the fighter who delivered the most effective strikes. Each bout can end in a decision or a KO/TKO win.
