Slapping Tournament

[dothebeats]

This slapping is mean to inflict harm on both participants, it's better than if they are going to do this event I read it's meant to be a show that it should be a match between two enemies or two people with conflicts so it becomes even in hurting themselves, slapping is dangerous and even harmful than a punch and you see both participants coming in with full force, this is really dangerous.

You should say that to MMA, boxing, and other contact sports that can go real wrong real quick, too, but they are still being held just because they are 'legal', in a sense that they can hold tournaments and events provided they have the necessary license to do so. These fighting sports involve two contestants who don't necessarily have anything against their opponents yet they are still risking their lives for the sport and the money. What makes it different from slapping tournaments? With the right amount of precautions, medical professionals, and security around, I don't think it's that dangerous like what you're trying to make it out. But still I understand the sentiment.


There were updates from Slapfight Championship wherein they are in the works of holding an event wherein MoistCr1t1kal is one of the English commentators. It's definitely heading towards the right direction and is gaining more and more audience  ever since Charlie covered that one single fight as a meme. I do hope they up their production value and the amount of medical professionals on site as it's really a good deviation from your traditional fighting sports and it's equally, if not more entertaining than your regular boxing/wrestling/MMA matches.

does this tournament really exist?
honestly I have never seen such a unique tournament, and if I can know, what are the criteria that determines a person to win in the tournament?
I think maybe the tournament is just a tradition that is broadcast live on tv, like a tradition that happened in Peru Takanakuy to settle grudges between two people or more in the last year.
I think the slapping tournament is a unique tournament and winners and losers of course have something in common at the end of the tournament, which means getting bruises on the face  

The very first reply in this thread already sent the Photos about the game but if you did not come to read the thread then you will never learn this.

and besides you can just simply type in google and you will get these results

The Slapping content began way before the pandemic. It wasn't considered as sport before but a show, and It's from Russia. Remember, Russian people loves to play games/contest that are either could physically hurt you or kill you (Russian roulette for example).
These kind of contest wasn't created because they are bored, Russians are competitive and so they are creative of a way how they can compete with each other. Testing physical capabilities is their way of recognizing how strong and competitive you are.

It's not just Russia, it's also the US so it has not much to do with the countries preference in games. And slapping will not kill you. It will hurt you. But also things that will hurt you are MMA, Boxing, Kickboxing, Powerlifting (people killing themselves under the weights), skateboarding, rugby...need I continue?

And slapping tournaments have been around and covered by some media before the pandemic started. Case in point https://www.vice.com/en/article/evewxm/competitive-slapping-is-the-worlds-greatest-sport

I don't know what exactly you were trying to point out.
There's no comparison with country's sports/games reference right there.
What I have stated is the origin of this whole slapping tournament/contest. I didn't say "Only" Russia, and I didn't say Slapping will kill you (atleast not on the spot, but there are slight instances when you're slapped so hard that it could send you to the hospital, worse die).
 What I said was

Russian people loves to play games/contest that are either could physically hurt you or kill you (Russian roulette for example).

And also, those you have mentioned was a regular sport and is totally different than the slapping tournament/contest where in no way you can defend yourself.
MMA, Boxing, and other contact sports allows you to defend yourself all the time. Skateboarding have crash support gears.

And lastly, I also said that the slapping tournament has been around before the pandemic.

Finally some common sense around here. And let's not forget that MMA was and still is illegal in some countries, and that does not make it less of a sport. Also, slapping is relatively new in terms of being organized, so let's give it some time, sports tend to evolve in a 10 year period.

A crazy tournament on the best in slapping I really think this is ridiculous at the same time would ease away your boredom but it is not recommended with the faint of heart, I guess this is very popular in part of Russia and if there are gambling site that has this on them I will surely go with the person that is bulkier, pretty much all bulkier dude seems pretty much have the power in their slaps, and recommending this for people that want the thrill if you get hit by a slap,

I haven't seen any gambling sites that can make you bet for this kind of tournament maybe because it is not that popular, and if it did I think this could be a hit and many will surely want to bet for the bulkier dude that is on this tournament

I will say that I am the first to admit that it looks ridiculous but at the same time people are doing everything they can to entertain themselves under the current difficult circumstances and this slapping tournament looks fun to watch and I would not mind it seeing it on TV and get a good laugh out of it, however I can understand if some people do not like it and do not understand why something like this exists at all and prefer to not watch it.

I think people are experimenting with things now a days and i think that many people are just getting bored with the lock down and pandemic that is why they always end up thinking of weird things for their entertainment, I guess the concept of the slapping tournament was because of their boredom.

Yes I know that this Slapping tournament had begun way before the pandemic I am just saying that there are people who wants to put this kind of sports inside an online gambling site because of their boredom, Sorry if I stated that it is just a recent thing,

But thanks for pointing it out, well even though this is not considered as a sports and this is just for fun for the Russian of course, I am not against considering this to be in a betting platform.

I have been around gamblers who would bet on how many cars pass on a traffic light and who will win an election, so slapping does not surprise me all that much tbh. To me, it is no more of a betting possibility than arm wrestling. If this came from Asia and had some more years under its belt, no one would bat an eye. I think it's just a matter of time, that's it.

We can sure say that if a person would see an opportunity to make money he would grab it, and particularly in parts of Asia mostly here in the Philippines were we have Spider derby,and now it is an online gambling here, most notable are cock fighting, I think arm wrestling was very common as a street gambling just like what's depicted from the anime hunter X hunter were Gon Freecss uses it as a way to increase his money I think it is very possible that a Slapping Tournament and gambling could be a possibility.

If you gamble on how many cars pass on a traffic light, that will be gambling that you and your friends did and not listed on any gambling games. We know that many things can become gambling, and your example is one of that things. Yes, it is a matter of time to see if that sports can grow in other countries or be only popular. After all, many of us do not know about sports and even for betting on that sport.

I will never understand the point of this "sport".It is fun to watch but I wonder how these guys do not get mad after so many slapping and start an even more brutal fight.Even ladies do this and I found it ugly for women to beat each other.

Lol, this is somehow a boxing sport, if you are asking about how these guys do not get mad after so any slapping and start an even more brutal fight then try to relate it in the sports of boxing, why boxers don't get mad after the fight? This is because of sportsmanship, you wouldn't be a good athlete if you have no sportsmanship, they are doing these for entertainment and for the money as well. Respect each other by giving sportsmanship when losing.

Yes, there are so many sports involving fight: boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts (mma), slapping, judo, muay thai and so many other regional sports categories... All these sports schools are conducted by experienced tutors and master who teach their apprentices to respect the adversaries in every situations and to not use their fighting skills outside the tournaments and matches for trivial issues.
There are some problem sportsmen who don't take these rules and guidelines seriously, but they are the minority and suffer the consequences in sports industry for their bad behavior. So definitelly they aren't going to get mad on each other, because they will have their careers prejudiced later for doing so.

That's right! they choose this type of sport and they value their reputation, for sure they're getting mad but since it's a sport they just bring that emotions when it comes to their term. You just give a good example, UFC have a much brutal fight but after the fight both fighters still have a chance to hug and congratulate each other. Sportsmanship is very important and as fighter you need to value one.

True losers are those people who cant accept defeat and taking his loss into different level or lets say it did became personal which is really not a good thing to look at and you shouldnt have
joined the sport or whatever things you do get involved if you cant just accept defeat or simply being a sportmanship to have.This doesnt only limit out several sports but also into other
games as well where competitions or simply it involves winners and losers.

This might be brutal for some in talking about slapping but its true that  UFC is way more brutal than this and i dont know on where they do get those comparison.

Just going back on this thread. I've watched a video of another slapping tournament and it's like being held everywhere, inside a ring, inside the bar and anywhere it can happen. But the video that I've watched is that I'm surprised to see that there's also a girl's competition for slapping. I find it odd and I don't know what to react to upon watching that video. The boy's slapping tournament is intense but I think I cannot take those blows and slaps for the girl's edition of slapping. The video was just posted on Facebook and you can search it with those keywords that you already know, girl, slap, etc.

This slapping tournaments are probably the best thing for me to watch after MMA, and it can be both brutal and funny at the same time.  
They even have Pay Per Views like in MMA and their own Punchdown website so they are growing like separate sport and special shirts.
When can we see Slapping national teams and world cup?

Well this is getting interesting, it seems this sport is getting way more popular than what I thought, if they even have PPV then someone must be paying to see them in action, which is why I suppose I have never seen one of those fights live as we can do with soccer and other popular sports, even if the competition is very niche I am glad that they are finding their way around getting profits despite the pandemic as it is difficult for a new sport to survive given the current conditions of the world.

[madnessteat]

Slap competitions have become very popular with viewers on Youtube over the last two years. I haven't been able to place any bets on this type of competition yet, but I believe we'll get the chance soon, as it's as spectacular as many other sports.

I love the cheeky Punch Down moniker Good on them for stepping up and trying to get the competitors paid. It really can become a legitimate sport, but a PPV here and there will just not cut it. They need a UFC 1 type of event to really get people talking.

I was watching my favorite streamer MoistCr1tikal doing a side commentary on a Slapping Tournament, and what caught my eye was that it was sponsored by Totalbet, which means that it is a viable betting although I find it easy to bet if you have prior knowledge about who slaps the hardest. Are there any betting site that has this for betting?

This is one brutal sport to be honest, obviously not as bad as UFC

Who gives their cheek to get a free slapping in a room full of people,sorry just watching a few clips of the slapping contest I feel sorry for these guys....is this about the money or releasing that anger out of you...whatever the reasons this is a sport for people that want an adrenaline rush.

I don't know when these slapping competitions have started but I agree with you that it's becoming big and there might be some national teams for those nearby countries where it was originated. The spread of it is quickly happening and who knows if a world cup comes? 
That would be a dream of every slapper to get into that tournament one day and it's not just all about the prize but as well as the pride that they'll be proclaimed as the strongest and toughest slapper.

I think that is because of the money that the winner can get. For some people, that can be a brutal sport, but for others, maybe they can get entertainment from that sport. So they will still watch the tournament same as the people who watch the UFC tournament.

But I can not imagine that it is really hurt to get a slap on that cheek and not many people can receive that slap without any emotion. So I give a salute to the player.
