How Do Power Slap Fights Work?
Two men stand face to face. Each takes a turn slapping the other man, who keeps his hands at his sides.
The rules say a coin toss decides who goes first.
Each fighter can only use an open hand and must strike a blow above the jaw but below the top of the ear.
There are three rounds and if nobody gets knocked out, the match goes to judges to render a decision based on points.
