As a martial artist, I know that you can badly hurt someone if you slap “just right” with the heel of your palm. First time I saw these competitions I wondered if the hitting with the heel of the palm is even allowed. And even if it’s not, how do you control that. I saw someone, during a point tournaments, get kicked in right where the upper and lower jaw connect, and they ended up spitting blood. If you get hot there, with the palm heel, you can basically die.

@parajay6575 Год назад

This is gonna happen until someone just drops dead after the second blow.. This is RIDICULOUS, I'm not a physician or doctor and I'm not familiar with professional fighting, but I know my way around unprotected and bear handed fights like this, and most people have no idea how damaging just one bad blow can be. Yes, every full blown hit is a concussion and this is the kind of force that can leave you with consequences for the rest of your life, if not really shortened.

What I'm actually saying is that blows like this are just stupidly dangerous for no reason BECAUSE they're repeated and full strength every blow, which is stupid, especially for people who do that as a habit.

@TheBenchPressMan Год назад

I think a distinction you can make here is that Brian would not suggest it to be “fit” for an untrained male or female to fight a UFC fighter or a boxer, because they would inevitably be subject to significant trauma. Some pro fighters end a fight in 30 seconds and see little damage, due to skill. Pro or otherwise, all competitors in slap fighting will receive trauma irrelevant of what they do. This is the nuance.

I'm an IT consultant in my 30s and looking to do some MMA and kickboxing amateur bouts. A lot of my training time is focused on _not_ getting punched. I really do not want to get punched in the head unnecessarily. I don't worry about breaking a shin, dislocating an elbow, cracking a rib .. those things heal, even if I'm never 99% with a broken leg, I'll be 98% and can live my life normally. Of course I don't want that to happen, but still, not the worst thing imaginable. But one can't live their lives normally with a traumatic head injury that turns into CTE over time. I'm not even that worried that I end up knocked out in my first amateur fight, but I am worried that I get unnecessarily damage to the head time after time in training. That's what I don't want to get. This slap "fighting" thing is the silliest thing I've ever seen. Even bare knuckled boxing isn't near as bad.

Concussions, CTE, general stupidity

@Fella_friend Год назад

Key things, in normal slap fighting you can’t step into the slap or use the lower palm/heel of the hand to hit the face. This is illegal and your meant to automatically lose the fight. Dana removed the safety rules to make more knock outs.

I think when you venture into bringing Russian sports like this to the States you're venturing into dangerous territory on principle

I'm thrilled we'll all get to deal with these individuals that have been slapped silly when we're out in public.

@lukemurray4950 Год назад

Huge MMA fan and a casual boxing fan but I don't like this at all. I truly think someone will die doing this long term.

@lenox4166 Год назад

Whoever thinks that open palm strikes are not dangerous, should watch some Bas Rutten highlights.

@unhpsychology3909 Год назад

Totally agree with you. I’m glad a physician who understands the skills involved in MMA has this take. Power Slap is ridiculous and frankly I can’t believe Dana White thinks this is a good idea.

Boxings more damaging to the brain.

@Bj5m17h Год назад

I wrote a big college paper advocating for mma as being safer than boxing and many other combat and full contact sports. and I couldn't ever imagine calling "power slap" or whatever, a sport, a martial art, a reasonable idea, pastime, or competition. It's just so so so dumb. So very, very... dumb.

@stephenstuckey Год назад

Yes. Its ridiculous actually. Why? Do we need this? And do ppl actually want to see this? I dunno man. 🤔🤦‍♂️

@Danny-hj2qg Год назад

Dana White was just promoting his new slapping show with his wife in Mexico.

@heIIbIazer Год назад

I feel like if people want to do it to earn money, they're free to do it, but they should be educated on the possible risks...thaf being said, I'd also like to see gladiator fights to the death brought back

@CarolinaBlood704 Год назад

I thought this was a dumb idea, too.

@anonony9081 Год назад

I don't get how this can get sanctioning in the US when you can't even do head kicks to grounded opponents in the UFC or do 12 to 6 elbows.

@kamcioo7 Год назад

In Poland we had an organization that was becoming pretty mainstream until one guy k*lled another on site with a SLAP, we haven't had any event since then.

@mateuszcielas3362 Год назад

in Poland one competitor died from that

@ayodelesoderbergshekoni1794 Год назад

Should not be legal. Point blank.

@mattj4449 Год назад

Not to mention risk of retinal detachments, trauma to the optic nerves, and blindness as a result from a few poorly placed slaps?

@SkaerKrow Год назад

This is one of those situations where, when the “sport” was explained to me, I thought that I had misunderstood something fundamental. I didn’t, it’s just a ridiculous (and dangerous) spectacle.

@GraveyardGod6 Год назад

it’s ridiculous

@Enigmaprince Год назад

I totally agree with you. As someone who has suffered with longterm sideeffects after a major concussion I can only tell anyone who havent tried it its the worse thing atleast for me. It changes u in so many ways. These are getting multiple concussions over and over.... so dumb

@ZACATCS Год назад

Doc, most of us agree slap-fighting is dumb, but this is yet another way for organizers to expand their streams of income.

@beavertaco8951 Год назад

We are saying slap fighting is a pointless sport but are gonna allow water polo?

@Gh-jo1sr Год назад

I've never been a participant or fan of water polo lol, but obviously it takes more athletic ability than this bs. This should never be called a sport lol.

@johndicksonkaraoke2554 Год назад

This Sport should be Banned Cancelled in my opinion.

@joshpoi886 Год назад

This is definitely a dangerous sport, but in boxing/mma even if you can defend yourself, the fights typically stop after someone has taken damage to the point where they can’t fight anymore. So if you wouldn’t allow this, I don’t see why other combat sports would be perfectly okay

@gerbleristhebest Год назад

Back in day I was down in Brazil and instead of using mma sparring gloves they slapped. Definitely feels like a punch!

@3K4peikos Год назад

yeah if you look at dictionary for the definition of a batshitcrazy idea it's gonna say "sanctioned power slapping"

@shrillshrimp200 Год назад

Every other slap competition has rules that are enforced. Power slap does not enforce the rules that would prevent KO'S. Punching with the palm is called clubbing and is illegal in every other slap fight organization.

@bornagainsheep337 Год назад

I agree with you! For one, is there a lack of combat sports available for viewing pleasure that I’m unaware of? Two, a fighter should always have the option to protect their heads. Three, slap fighting? What is wrong with us collectively that our bread and circus has come to this? Didn’t we used to draw and quarter people, and make them fight lions and shii? Slap fighting huh? Dangerous and stupid

@RabJ208 Месяц назад

There's also a 'saying' in boxing and MMA - "it's the punches you don't see that for the damage." With Powerslap, the competitors know when the slap is coming, giving them time to prepare, which makes Powerslap a much safer sport than other combat sports like boxing and MMA.

I’m going to start a league called Brass Monkeys. You punch each other in the face with brass knuckles until someone is unconscious or dies. Can I count on your viewership?

Its fun watching 2 people slap the shit out of each other. I want to see a fair fight between will smith and chris rock.

I just had to invest some time in scrolling through your content because I am such a fan of these videos and I love that you’ve tied your immense knowledge to what seems to be a very natural interest in sports. Cannot give you enough praise for these videos
