I watch some clips about it I thought it was just for fun but didn't know that it was really a competition, just come to think of it receiving a direct hit on the face if they get it like most of the time I'm sure there will be in long term there will be a great consequences with that. I really don't think this is some kind of sport at all.

Yes and even though it is always said to let people do whatever they like, in this case I would be shocked if my son came to me and told me he is now going to participate in slapping tournaments. What are you going to do? Cheer for him? Screaming "knock that dude out!!"?

Then the whole thing takes 10 seconds while you watch some guy slapping your son to the floor. As I said before I am not a big fan of boxing either, but I can at least see the effort these boxers put into their speed, precision, flexibility, endurance, technique, movement, and resilience. There is so much going on in boxing, especially on the highest level when a fight takes 12 rounds. That is an outstanding achievement to me even though I don't like the sport. Slapping? Really? What about ass or nuts kicking? Why not? If enough people like it? I am sure you can find an audience for nuts kicking!

I absolutely agree. I would not allow my child to participate in this type of competition, but I would send him to boxing classes, because the sport not only develops physical skills, but also raises self-esteem, which is useful in life. A boxer to be successful in the ring has to work hard on himself. To build a career in the ring, you need to spend more than one year on constant training and proper nutrition.

I would neither like when my son were to participate in such a competition as a slapper nor would I like if he was standing around screaming like a cheerleader when his favorite slapper humiliates his opponent. That is just stupid. I don't like boxing either because I think that our brain is so valuable, it allows us to do so many things, feel so many things and so on. Why get it slapped permanently until it might take damage and stop working accurately or maybe even lead to death? That is just not my thing I guess.
