Competitors stand rigidly upright with their hands behind their backs, waiting to absorb a brutal slap to the face. When the open-handed blow is delivered, there’s a sharp sound and the reaction can be dramatic.
Some fighters barely move, while others stumble backward or fall to the floor. Some are knocked out.
