Slap fighting is a fast-paced combat sport wherein athletes strike each other in the head with open hands and matches are largely scored by points or knockouts. Power Slap,1 a slap fighting promotion that has offered a platform for this largely underground sport, was first televised in January 2023 and has drawn extensive criticism from both medical and nonmedical personnel.2 Worryingly, the promotional video for Power Slap3 features several contestants exhibiting signs of concussion. While there is a general consensus regarding the severity of this sport, to our knowledge, a quantification of the concussion risk has yet to be reported. The goal of this study was to identify signs of concussion among slap fighters by performing a video analysis.
