When using S hands to show fists, which sport are you most likely signing?

• A. Boxing
• B. Soccer
• C. Basketball
• D. Wrestling

Answer: (A)

Using the S handshape to depict fists signals a punching action, which is central to the sport of boxing. In ASL, boxing is most often signed with fists and a punching motion, making this the natural interpretation when fists are shown. Soccer and basketball signs focus on kicking or ball handling, while wrestling signs emphasize grappling, not punching. So boxing is the best fit here.
