These type of matches has got my attention , on the world level the WAF allows it as long as it not in a neutral or losing position, like Ron said…we’ll see what the future beholds…

This is not Armwrestling, more like hanging on for dear life. Kings move, What king would put himself in this position? If this is the future of Armwrestling we need to rethink what we are teaching our students.

To the question is this Armwrestling? I must say no. To ask is this Armwrestling? Brings a bigger question. WHAT IS ARMWRESTLING? I say to those who ask ME, ” It is The Ultimate Game of Applied Bio-Physics. Because unlike ANY other Sport we do this from a fixed point of contact, the ELBOW. This Style has elbows everywhere, in the air, up off pad. As they lay down, let their upper arm maintain contact with table surface, NOT an elbow. Now come on, being able to use your upper arm, to lift elbow so it now is floating around. Rolling your arm over, I can see their elbows, pointing at camera. Look at these pictures, videos you can touch elbows, now on pads, right here on this screen. So NO! If elbow is not the point of contact, if elbow is NOT the fixed point of leverage, then what is OBJECTIVE HERE? Hey I would say it is one of many attempts to help RATINGS. They want this be to an “Epic Clash” of bulls, horns locked in a deadly struggle, building to a Great Climax. Well this dog DON’T HUNT…

Kings move!? Couldn’t be further from it. If you get stretched out, that’s one thing but to intentionally drop below the top of the table is not Armwrestling. Granted promoters allow it, that’s their call. I believe in the overall it’s dangerous and looks unprofessional. Definitely not a fan.

In reply to Bill Collins. When you train beginners, Don't you train them away from this kind of a move?
