Power Slap

  One of the most ridiculous and yet very entertaining fighting competition I have ever seen came out recently in a league called Power Slap. Yes! This is a real thing.

What surprised me about this was the fact that UFC President Dana White founded this league back in 2022. 

It had aired a show on TBS in early 2023, but the show didn't last long and was canceled. But Power Slap still has competitions going on and still provide content for a channel called Rumble.

The rules of Power Slap are simple, a coin toss is used to determine which of the two combatants will go first. The slap fighter has 60 seconds to slap his or her opponent while the one getting slapped, will have 60 seconds to recover.

This league even has different weight classes just like the UFC itself. There are also three to five rounds per bout and it is always one on one.

There are fouls in Power Slap. For one you can not club someone, no stepping, no illegal windup and you can not flinch.

I should also mention that these competitors are called strikers and not fighters. 

The website showcases all of the different strikers and there is even betting for these events. 

Now for the record, I do not think I would be participating in such event. But at the same time, I give these guys and gals a lot of credit for having the courage to do something like this and be willing to stand in there and take the shots that they take.

Say what you want about Power Slap or just slap fighting in general, but it seems to be a growing event. I wonder if they are going to try and make a video game out of this?

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting
