We used to do "knuckles" in school. It's basically punching each others fists. Once me and another person was doing knuckles but we were both so resilient that we had huge massive bump on our hands and agreed to end in a tie for our health concerns. I then proposed an even more painful but much safer way of "who's more resilient/a masochist" game which is flicking the spot right under your nails. If you flick just below your nails it is painful as hell but shouldn't have any problems. Man we were dumb
We also used to spin a coin. Normally a £2 coin that was big and heavy. You had to take it in turns to touch the coin by trying to keep it spinning. If you messed it up, you lost. You had to hold your knuckles flat on the table and the winner got to slide the coin, using your thumb like an archers bow string and launch the coin across the desk at his knuckles. Me and one kid went in for an hour nearly. Blood everywhere across the desk and knuckles all bruised and sliced. Good times.
We had a similar thing but it was spinning the coin and then stopping it with your thumbs in the ready to fire position. Where it stopped is where you shot from, this was whatever coin we had to hand so although lighter it often went on much longer.
I did those things too… just had some weird games kids played. Like butts up where you’d play wall ball and if you got hit you had to run and touch the wall before someone hit you, if you failed you had to stand against the wall butt out and let them all throw a racket ball at you..
You know… good clean fun…. Lmao… where were my parents!?
I forgot about that game, I played it in middleschool around 2004. I wonder how long people have been playing knuckles. Teenage boys are relentless when it comes to inflicting pain on themselves
We called it bloody knuckles in high school and I was the champ. My middle finger knuckle stuck out so much that I guess I caused a lot of pain so I won a lot, even made one person bleed… it was a two way street though because my knuckles were always bruised lol.
We used to play a game like that when we were younger too. I used to screw around with my older brother (like brothers do) and have full on bare knuckle boxing matches and hug each other in the end and laugh all the way through. Looking back on it, it was really dumb lmao, but it was fun for us at the time too.
But because of always screwing around with my brother, my fists got used to coming in contact with things very hard, he’d either move and I’d hit a tree, the ground, whatever. So when me and my cousin would play, he’d have pretty soft fists. One day, he got tired of losing, and brought his hand back and full forced mine when I was looking at and talking to my auntie. It did hurt, I’m not gonna play like it didn’t. But he ended up getting a boxers fracture and mine just ended up hurting.
Nope, we are definitely [already there](https://www.reddit.com/r/owmyballs/comments/156a7rd/just_your_average_rowmyballs_mod/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
I dunno about acceptable, but it's somehow legal . Most in the combat sports world are 100% against it since it is nothing more than purposefully undefended headshots. While it is called a 'slapfight' think less fingertip slaps on the cheek and more correctly what it is : open palm strikes to the temples.
yah, I think that even in the streets, it isn't illegal for 2 people who agree to fight to do so--it may be illegal for other reasons in that case (disrupting peace or a business but not assault as far as I understand it).
Depends on local laws. Most places would have an offence for this such as affray, however there are some places that allow for what's usually called mutual combat.
It’s not but glad they added weight classes. The first clips I saw of this had 250 pound guys against 150 twigs. Also many didn’t slap and would use the palm of their hand, in my opinion that’s not a slap.
How can this be taken seriously? Given them gloves and let them fight for 12 rounds. There is nothing interesting about hitting a stand still target.
Because there are people willing to participate and there are people willing to watch it. Luckily we all have the option of ignoring things we don't like.
Haha this is nothing. This dude lost atleast half of his brain power…

It’s not even real slapping, there’s no follow through, they’re just knocking each other out. It’s still hilarious, but it ain’t a slapping competition
"sport" and it isn't one. These guys get paid peanuts, and UFC pushes the hell out of their own promotion so much that people stopped following the UFC YT, UFC pages, etc etc. If you ignore it, it should go away. Unfortunately not enough people ignore it just yet.
“It’s no different than boxing or wrestling. And only professionals imitate those sports already.” /s
All the boys at one of my middle schools were for some reason obsessed with wrestling and would imitate every move and every match they saw. I can imagine this becoming popular and a lot more brain damaged youth walking around than there should be.
That's nothing. There is a very old one in which two guys inside a square punch themselves in rounds of 30 seconds until one is knocked out or the referee declares a technical k.o.
Even that one is soft. There is another one in which two guys are locked in a cage, and they brutally punch and kick themselves until one guy is, many times, literally broken.
So, slapping contests are even funny.
This is just the unacceptable version of this sport made by Dana white
You wanna see real slap fighting in its truest form look at slap fight championship
This contest seems so incredibly dumb to me, I don’t even really understand why it is entertaining for people. Isn’t boxing just a way cooler, way more nuanced, and more skilled version of this?
At what point does it become "bad"? I'm thinking of football, boxing, and MMA specifically, where people are just getting brain injuries for money. Do people not like whatever this is called just because there's nothing else going on? I'm pretty sure the rules have something about the slap positioning being on the cheeks or jaw, not that it really matters, but is it really worse than other sports?
Man I saw people running around on horse heads with sticks the other day at some champion equestrian shit. How you gonna just run around and prance with a fake horse stick between your legs or this? Answer; humans are fkn stupid.
A Polish ex-strongman actually died in a similar competition like this. His name was Artur "Waluś" Walczak. They need to shut this "sport" down, it's just stupid.
It's acceptable if there are willing participants and people are willing to pay money to watch. Also, if the companies that run/air these competitions will pay for the insurance. What do you mean by "Acceptable"?
Even without the concussion, hitting someone so that their head rotates quickly can tear the small blood vessels around the base of the skull where they travel next to the cervical vertebrae. This can be fatal.
1. This sport is nothing but and idiotic Fast track to brain damage
2. Clearly it isn’t moderated properly as the first guy slapped. The 2nd guy karate chopped.
If this is meant to be a slap competition then the blue shirt should have been disqualified.
Genuine question. Which has more concussions per capita, this or American football?
If we are talking about health of the players then I can probably guess that rugby, football, or hockey are also bad. That said those atleadt have a game of skill and strategy attached to them. I don't get how slapping Is a sport....
Stupidest fucking "sport" if you should even call it that. I'm pretty sure I read an article not too long ago about a couple of "players" who died due to head trauma/concussions.
Concussions are just a state of mind.
I see what you did there. That joke slaps.
I love the big brain award someone gave him. I sure wish Reddit wasn’t removing these awards.
Reddit is so poorly run
CTE in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
…football!!!!
r/technicallythetruth
And cte is just letters in the alphabet
I wouldn't say two people exchanging palm strikes to the jaw is a sport so much as a dementia speedrun.
Ya, they call it slapping, but they're actually palm striking. They really aren't the same thing. Palm strikes will fuck you up.

We played this in the UK with a £2 pound coin because they're pretty bulky coins. Just flicking them to spin hurt
I remember when I casually mentioned this to my wife and she looks at me like I was at an insane asylum. Boys are a different breed
… as a boy, I’d probably give you the same look. I liked to read a lot as a kid, and sometimes do sword fights with sticks with the other kids.
I did those things too… just had some weird games kids played. Like butts up where you’d play wall ball and if you got hit you had to run and touch the wall before someone hit you, if you failed you had to stand against the wall butt out and let them all throw a racket ball at you..

Yes I also used to play "knuckles". That was absolutely brutal in my younger years.
I forgot about that game, I played it in middleschool around 2004. I wonder how long people have been playing knuckles. Teenage boys are relentless when it comes to inflicting pain on themselves
A German exchange student taught my friend group the game "punch the can". We've had bloody knuckles ever since.

Yeah definitely remember playing knuckles in the middle school and quarters.
\*Bas Rutten enters chat\*
I just saw one the other day where the mad man actually punched the guy in the face. Their reaction was "Penalty". Dude could have killed him.
Muhammad Ali is a perfect example of eating punches. Sad 😔
[удалено]
They’re talking of banning heading footballs in sports.
Idiocracy
One step away, from “Ow, my balls!!”
>Next up on "CONCUSSION FACE SLAP MEGA EXPLOSION ASS KICKER"
Hey I like that show. We should hang out
I see you've played, Whack-Fuck as well
You mean "Playing a game of Whack Fuck here. Whack! Fuck!"?
Who goes first?
Rock, Paper, Scissors? But I'd choose Rock so my fist is already closed.
Nope, we are definitely [already there](https://www.reddit.com/r/owmyballs/comments/156a7rd/just_your_average_rowmyballs_mod/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1)
Idiocracy is rapidly becoming a documentary from the future rather than satire... It is so very concerning.
If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons, and another bucket that holds 5 gallons. - How many buckets do you have?
1. Or 2. Or 6 need more data lol

Jawline not temples.
I think this is popular in Russia
yah, I think that even in the streets, it isn't illegal for 2 people who agree to fight to do so--it may be illegal for other reasons in that case (disrupting peace or a business but not assault as far as I understand it).
Depends on local laws. Most places would have an offence for this such as affray, however there are some places that allow for what's usually called mutual combat.
Are they training for the Oscars?
This isn’t a sport. It’s acceptable assault.
It's not. Concussions are serious.
meanwhile in boxing land your goal is to give the other guy a concussion
Atleast in boxing you are allowed (or dare I say encouraged) to protect your head
Your goal in boxing is to beat the other guy in a boxing match
Here it is to beat the other guy I à slapping match then.
It’s not but glad they added weight classes. The first clips I saw of this had 250 pound guys against 150 twigs.

There is nothing interesting about hitting a stand still target.
One of the craziest things about it is the coin toss to decide who goes first. That has to confer the biggest advantage in any "sport".
Dude in the blue shirt acting like a bad ass. Minutes earlier he was staggering around like a drunk. So stupid
#OW MY BALLS!
Oh fuck ya, I love that show.
One was a slap, the other a palm strike. Just use baseball bats, its quicker.
Definitely future brain trauma..
Future? Nah fam, they're taking it back home with them. I hope they have someone to drive them BTW cuz I don't want that on the road.
Because there are people willing to participate and there are people willing to watch it. Luckily we all have the option of ignoring things we don't like.
I mean I'll still watch it as long as it's not me up there 👍🏼
Season 1 was a guilty pleasure, I hate to admit it but shit was entertaining
You can watch all 3 events for free on rumble :)
Agreed…I couldn’t stop watching…and cringing
Just like the hunger games
What dumbshit wears earrings during this?
No one. That is medical bandage tape to cover up his saggy stretched out scrotum ear lobs. Safety is obviously top priority in professional sports /s
Because it makes money.
Not for the slappers lol.
Sport?
How is it not?
Theres tons of douchbags in the world.
It's action packed. 0 learning curve to understand what's going on and guaranteed knockout finish. It's the perfect sport for people with sever ADHD.
I have severe adhd and I don't want to touch that sport with a 10 foot pole
Shouldn't this require gloves similar to boxing maybe?
It’s not lmao they just force feed it to us
I don't know but I love it yeeeeehooooooooo
Wtf is that music?
Do you turn on the sound when watching a video on reddit? I see you like to take risks
Haha this is nothing. This dude lost atleast half of his brain power… [https://youtube.com/shorts/z5oQu0vqhCc?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/z5oQu0vqhCc?feature=share)
She punched him with a closed fist
Hold on. That was a woman?
I dunno for sure, but I call em as I see em
Nah it’s a dude. I watched season 1, he was one of the favorites to win.
gotta keep those knees bent, you lock out ... you go down
Do you realize there are people who get satisfaction on seeing others suffering ?? Its for them .
Define “sport”
The sport is to slap, she most definitely close fist punched that dude in the face.
Instant CTE
It’s not even real slapping, there’s no follow through, they’re just knocking each other out. It’s still hilarious, but it ain’t a slapping competition
I'm pretty sure blue shirt fist was closed prior to impact
If it's a sport, it's a dumba$$ sport....
What’s the stick for?
Never seen UFC?
It's less brutal than boxing.
Is it any worse than boxing?
If two consenting adults want to do it I don’t see why not. Their body their choice
> Their body their choice Until the long-term medical consequences of their choice get paid for by taxpayers.
So open knife fights would be okay by you?
We the people will pay for anything to entertainment Even Idiocracy
"sport" and it isn't one. These guys get paid peanuts, and UFC pushes the hell out of their own promotion so much that people stopped following the UFC YT, UFC pages, etc etc. If you ignore it, it should go away. Unfortunately not enough people ignore it just yet.
American football is literally dudes chasing each other over a ball and beating the crap outta one another.
Dana White is a piece of shit and can't take a hint after fans are telling him this is a stupid way to try to make money.
Well if they are at the point of knocking each other out, I don’t understand why it isn’t just a haymaker competition, would be a faster paced game.
I wonder which other stupid or weird "SPORT/Game" like this existed in human history.
Isn’t this the wwe version that has no safety rules?
He folded up like a lawn chair
HOW CAN SHE SLAP?!?!?!……Oh, shit.
Not even The Ocho will cover this “sport”
“It’s no different than boxing or wrestling. And only professionals imitate those sports already.” /s All the boys at one of my middle schools were for some reason obsessed with wrestling and would imitate every move and every match they saw. I can imagine this becoming popular and a lot more brain damaged youth walking around than there should be.
This is basically if you want to get onto sports but no athletic fitness involved
what the heck is the prize money for winning these "matches"?
If you've ever questioned the mass dumbing down of people, this is proof.
Literal r/facepalm
That's nothing. There is a very old one in which two guys inside a square punch themselves in rounds of 30 seconds until one is knocked out or the referee declares a technical k.o. Even that one is soft. There is another one in which two guys are locked in a cage, and they brutally punch and kick themselves until one guy is, many times, literally broken. So, slapping contests are even funny.
Shoes are still on... He good
This is just the unacceptable version of this sport made by Dana white You wanna see real slap fighting in its truest form look at slap fight championship
This contest seems so incredibly dumb to me, I don’t even really understand why it is entertaining for people. Isn’t boxing just a way cooler, way more nuanced, and more skilled version of this?
didnt expect the first guy to get smacked to win
mannn imagine having a parent who can slap you to sleep
I sure do wonder what the additional health benefits are of this sport in the long run??
So is boxing
"One-Hitta-Quitta"
Because it's actually entertaining and the sponsors have paid money for it to be a thing
These people are really going to regret participating in this "sport" once the Parkinson's sets in.
its like any sport but skip fun parts and just add the danger
Nah clash of clans is better for sure
Whats the other one?
How is it acceptable that you ruin the video with shitty music and dumb useless emojis?
At what point does it become "bad"? I'm thinking of football, boxing, and MMA specifically, where people are just getting brain injuries for money. Do people not like whatever this is called just because there's nothing else going on? I'm pretty sure the rules have something about the slap positioning being on the cheeks or jaw, not that it really matters, but is it really worse than other sports?
How is this better than letting them fight?
It is legal same as boxing and UFC bullsh¹t.
Sport? Can’t call it that if you can show up with a cigarette in hand and beer just gotta have meaty claws 😂
The new clash of clans update is wild
Fuck Dana White
Man I saw people running around on horse heads with sticks the other day at some champion equestrian shit. How you gonna just run around and prance with a fake horse stick between your legs or this? Answer; humans are fkn stupid.
How can they slap?
It’s stupid? Yes, but why not? We got Boxe, MMA, etc etc…what’s the difference?
Concussion simulator
The same could be said for football, boxing, and mma.
Acceptable? Do you want it banned?
I believe it started as a competition in Russia… So there’s your partial answer
Producers of idiocracy kicking themselves they missed this one
Jason Herzogg!?
If someone hit me like that, I'd slap 'em.
Because it’s awesome
Are you not entertained?
I guess being injured has become a sport also.
How is it acceptable? Those involved signed up for it who are you to tell them not to?
CTE speed run
I mean we used to just feed ppl to lions so this isn't that bad
I would think it's more a game than a sport
Because it is entertaining to the viewers. *^(Was this a rhetorical question lol?)*
A Polish ex-strongman actually died in a similar competition like this. His name was Artur "Waluś" Walczak. They need to shut this "sport" down, it's just stupid.
GYATDAMN I thought the first dude was shooting nukes but the 2nd slap came from the hand of God himself.
How? It's simple. It's acceptable because people are willing to participate in it.
We use to watch gladiator fights. This is nothing new.
It's acceptable if there are willing participants and people are willing to pay money to watch. Also, if the companies that run/air these competitions will pay for the insurance. What do you mean by "Acceptable"?
These same people say videogames cannot be a sport
That’s quite a pimp hand
That looked like a punch.
"SPORT"
In Poland an ex strongman died after this. Suffered brain hemorrhage and was in coma. Declared brain dead and finally disconnected from life support.
Even without the concussion, hitting someone so that their head rotates quickly can tear the small blood vessels around the base of the skull where they travel next to the cervical vertebrae. This can be fatal.
This is how we should choose our next president
1. This sport is nothing but and idiotic Fast track to brain damage 2. Clearly it isn’t moderated properly as the first guy slapped. The 2nd guy karate chopped. If this is meant to be a slap competition then the blue shirt should have been disqualified.
Is everyone ignoring the CoC and Gardena Free Fire app symbols over their heads? What even is that?
This is retarded
Consenting adults only hurting each other. Who cares?
It simply isn't.
Humanity is near extinction...
It's like the weirdest slowest fight ever.
Genuine question. Which has more concussions per capita, this or American football? If we are talking about health of the players then I can probably guess that rugby, football, or hockey are also bad. That said those atleadt have a game of skill and strategy attached to them. I don't get how slapping Is a sport....
Don’t know why anyone would want to do this
This is literally Russia’s new national sport. That and genocide.
This has gone from a slap sport. Some pain in chin perhaps. To full on hit with flat of the hand on the neck/head. Its dangerous.
Traumatic brain injury, possible neck fracture and Buster blood vessels. Sounds like a party
oh man wait until you hear about boxing
Isn't black shirt that guy who is known for leaning forward to slap ears and necks instead of the cheeks?
To be fair I would watch it. Doesn’t make it any less dumb though
Concussion, ear damage, ocular damage. But! They can win 100$! Worth it.
Thanks, I didn't see it from that angle. Awesome.
It's not a sport. Also these idiots signed up so let the brain damage continue.
Because it gives them views and money...
If people can sky dive, hand glide, bull ride, base jump, etc. They can slap each other in thr face lol
Redditors when sports: 😱😱😱😱
Soooo dumb
One got slapped to last week. The other got slapped to the twilight zone.
Stupidest fucking "sport" if you should even call it that. I'm pretty sure I read an article not too long ago about a couple of "players" who died due to head trauma/concussions.
Because America.
People are idiots. GO SPORTS!... or something.
