Have you ever slap-boxed?

Slap boxing is a form of sparring. Basically, it is boxing with slapping instead of punching. I find it is a great way to stimulate the senses and revitalize muscles in many parts of your body. It is also good for cardiovascular exercise.

Yes, and I have been doing it for more than 32 years. It is part of the training syllabus of Seni Pukul Pelaga, a Malay martial arts system. This variation that you call slap-boxing is not favoured by many martial artists in my country, because they believe in utilising their full strength even while sparring with their friends. They say that the method that we use is worthless. Those who have been with me for a long time understand its value. One example is that it is fun, with no risk of injury.
