Slapboxing
Slapboxing is a physical activity somewhat simulating boxing, where open hands are used in lieu of fisticuffs. This quasi-martial art form, at an intersection between sparring and fighting, is usually performed in an ad hoc or informal manner, or when boxing protective gear is unavailable. Although a popular pastime in some circles, it is generally not considered a competitive sport, but rather a game or training drill. Slapboxers claim that the activity helps improve agility, hand–eye coordination and skill. == Slapboxing in popular culture ==
* Several rappers including Pharoahe Monch, Noreaga, (Ghostface Killah ), Killarmy, (Jay-Z ), Eminem, Ice Cube and Brother Ali have songs in which they reminisce about slapboxing. * In a 2004 Dateline NBC interview, singer Bobby Brown claimed to have been slapboxing with Whitney Houston when it turned violent. * Author Victor D. LaValle wrote the critically acclaimed Slapboxing with Jesus, a story about teenagers living in Queens, New York. ''(The book's title is a take on a line from Ghostface Killah's Daytona 500.)''
