Someone coming at you with boxing gloves can be intimidating. So, if you’re feeling terrified at the idea of getting hit with a glove, slap boxing might be a beautiful way for you to work yourself into the world of boxing.
It’s simple. You box with open hands. Instead of punching each other, you slap each other. In general, it is a little easier for beginners to maintain a slower pace and hit lighter with slap boxing than if they have the gloves on. The awesome news for people who aren’t complete novices is that slap boxing isn’t just for beginners. People with skill can simply raise the speed and contact level to keep things interesting… or they can keep it slow and see all the things that they might miss out on noticing at faster speeds.
