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.

@TheBenchPressMan Рік тому
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.

It's really sad because one thing your learn pretty quickly practicing any kind of martial arts is how to avoid a hit, once you take a hard blow a couple times you never want to let that happen again. I've gotten drilled by people taller than me that had a lot of reach and I learned pretty fast how to move my legs and torso and shoulders and head. Even if you move your head as you take a hit it minimizes the power of it pretty substantially and turns an otherwise devastating blow into just a tap. You can take taps for days but you can only handle 1 or 2 heavy shots before it's game over.
@joshpoi886 Рік тому

At least in boxing or MMA you can defend or deflect the blow so that the force can be reduced. This would mean that most concussive blows in those sports are reduced through these means because professionals never just stand there and eat mind-numbing punches. If they do, then the referees stop the fight.

I thought this was a dumb idea, too.

It's almost appropriate that this sport is the easiest way to get damage. I can't believe the goal is to take a hit to the chin rattle your brain and then stand back up and try to take more punishment.

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

The people who do this would do this no matter if there was a competition or not. So you are right with your point but you will probably not change anything. But it was still important to do this video because you are 100% right.

👉👉👉 This actually BLOWS my mind, how commissions legally let this be sanctioned i don’t know. This is a BAR moment thing, let me explain. If your in a bar and see this well you’d watch it. But to put this in the SPORTS box I don’t know I’m definitely questioning a lot things now. Like the legitimacy of sports commissions. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️👈👈👈
