The Ottoman Slap​

The Ottoman Slap is an offensive bare handed mele attack which was used by Soldiers in the Ottoman Army. The Main purpose was to stun the enemy with ones bare hand. The Ottoman slap can be performed with both sides of hand. It is performed with a straight and quick movement from ones shoulders to the enemies face.The Ottoman Slap can be lethal if the one who uses it chooses for it to be.​

The Ottoman Slap was used in close combat battles when the soldier was disarmed or when his weapon was broken. In Ottoman Culture one was never supposed to use fists in a fight. The Ottomans avoided the chance of giving permanent scar or damage to the face. The first person in a fight who attacks with his fist is to be shamed by the community.

In the Ottoman army Azab soldiers who stands in the front line of the army in open field battles used to have a purpose. Their purpose was to exhaust the enemies elite forces with their quick attacks and disable light weapons and when there was no time to arm heavy weapons they start to use slaps to attack the enemy. Among the soldiers slaping was considered to be a display of courage and bravery. The sounds of the slaps on the battle field had a strong Psychological effect. Soldiers would practice the Ottoman Slap by slapping marble and by exercises their hands and arms.
