About Us

There’s no doubt Arm Wrestling has gone on in some form or another for thousands of years and
is popular across the world.
A test of the strength of one person’s arm against another it consists of
two people who stand at or sit down at a table and then grip each other’s hand whilst placing their
elbows on the table
Arm Sport is a contest between two opponents facing each other with their bent elbows placed on a table and hands
firmly gripped then attempt to force the opponent’s hand down to the tabletop.
Various factors can play a part in one’s success in arm sports, technique and overall arm strength being the two greatest
contributing factors.
Other considerations such as the length of an arm wrestler’s arm, muscle and arm mass/density, hand grip size,
wrist endurance and flexibility, reaction time, and other traits can lend advantages to one arm wrestler over another.
The sport
sometimes is used to demonstrate the stronger person between two or more people.
Arm sports tournaments may also be divided along weight classes as well as left and right-handed divisions.
There are
also, rules governing fouls and imposition of penalties, such as when a competitor’s elbow leaves a mat where the elbow is
meant to remain at all times, when a false start occurs, and attempt to escape arm pinning by breaking the grip with
the opponent which may result in a loss.
Competitors must straighten their wrists with less than a one-minute time lapse
during competition
