Slapping is banned in the Czech Republic! The RedFace organization has to change its focus
The much criticized “sport” slapping is banned in the Czech Republic. The RedFace organization, which planned the first tournament, has to completely change its focus. And this is only good from the point of view of the health of potential fighters.

When it arrived in our country, many rejoiced, but there were also a lot of people who are critical of it. After all, the representatives of our website see it the same way.
Ondřej Novotný, the promoter of Oktagon, also spoke out against this would-be sport, and he would be happy if slapping did not exist, as he is particularly bothered by the fact that one cannot defend oneself against blows.
In the Czech Republic, the RedFace organisation has tried to push for it, setting big goals and announcing that it wants to have a tournament in the O2 Arena within a year and a day.
The RedFace steaming was successful, but the reality was different. Relatively recently, there was a major setback that sent the organization’s inaugural tournament into a tailspin.
Due to legislation, the tournament should not have been allowed, although the organization’s statement on this was rather confusing. After a long silence, another statement has come out that will certainly please the opponents of slapping!
“Slapping, despite our efforts, has not been defined as a sport and due to the nature of the activity it cannot be presented as a show. For this reason, we will transform RedFace’s fights in slapping into attractive disciplines like MMA, boxing, etc. that meet the legal regulations.
We will soon reveal the shape of the final first gala and announce the official date!” the organization announced on its social media.
So what does this mean? RedFace will continue to operate, but it has to completely rethink its concept and will probably compete with Clash of the Stars. What form it will take is still in the stars.
