>>13550326Inoki was invited to a university for a speech in the 80s and then told the students they can punch him in the stomach. This guy punched him quite hard so Inoki retaliated with a shoot slap. The student, who later turned out to be an Inoki fan had a successful career and life. The incident became very famous as the then live clip of the binta (slap in the face) was shown many times on Japanese television. After that, various celebrities, politicians, athletes, schools/universities and even common people in Japan asked Inoki to slap them to install courage or even as some sort of strange blessing. The slap's name is the "Fighting Spirit (or Toukon) Slap." (闘魂ビンタ)
