Engin Terzi ► Armwrestling John – Engin:

Dear Armwrestling World,

I do the rankings for many years just to promote our sport by creating an excitement.. I do not expect anything from it,not money nor honour… I even asked Fabio Nimis to do this but he didnt accept it.. I do my best to be as fair as possible to anyone.. There is no single time that it is possible to make everyone happy.. I try to answer the critiques as detailed as possible.. Once again I don’t have intention to gain anything back by doing the rankings.. None of you are paying me for the rankings so please criticise in a respectful manner as much as possible to not to discourage me.. I am not expecting to be thanked, neither to be disrespected.. THANKS

-1. How much time do you spend training and how did you get to know this sport and be interested in it?
I am constantly thinking about this sport. It rarely leaves my mind for long. I train as much as i think i can handle which will vary. I grew up with armwrestling. with my family, and with my schoolmates. I discovered the “real” sport when i was working in the oilfield when i was 18 years old.

-2. What armwresther do you admire most and why?
I really am a fan of so many armwrestlers, and don’t really want to single anyone out. I try to appreciate the diversity in the sport. Generally I like prefer people who really enjoy and are good at armwrestling if i could be vague.

-3. What are your expectations in this sport?
I expect to be involved in one way or another for my whole life. I will compete as long as i can, at whatever level i can manage, train, and move more into promotion as time goes on.

-4. What other sport do you practice?
I love to play games. Some i make up myself lol.. i have played alot of basketball, and used to do a little MMA, I have dabbled in many sports. These days i am loving ping pong!!

-5. What advice would you give to the young boys and girls who start with this sport?
Be patient. Be consistent. Be diverse. Keep your body balanced. Prioritize table training above all other exercises. Find others who love armwrestling- train/discuss/compete together.

-6. Apart from this sport… what other objectives do you have for your future?
Be a good father, Squeeze as much out of life as possible.

-7. What armwrestling technique do you think is the best?
There is one style or move that will likely be best against one opponent, but i believe that the best technique is diversity.

-8. What has been your worst dissapointment in this sport?
Having surgury on my right elbow

We will continue to push the rules/format/prizes/betting as we continue to run events in the area, hopefully we will pump another one out soon. There were so many matches that were great, but for me, Don Smith vs Mr. GObby was the match of the day. We raised over 200$ for the Richmond firefighters association.

Andranik Mnatsakanyan – facebook: ” Happy to be back to ARMWRESTLING!
Yesterday I was on my first ArmWrestling competition since I am in Canada.. it was good for me.. I have been missing!

met some string and good guys in Richmond..

Thanks to Devon for organizing this event.

To be honest I was really surprised with the level of respect to Armwrestling as a sport and respecting the rules of it as a sport.. the level was too low than I was expecting..

Anyways I was not ready to win this competition and I knew that. So if you want to win you have to be STRONG and smart enough and there will be no excuses…

Congratulations to all the winners of this competition.. and see you all guys next time…

BTW.. I’ve got my Gold’s Gym card yesterday and starting training today!

Looking forward to the next competition to pull some string ARMS! “

Devon Larratt – facebook (28 August 2013):

” Just wanted to share a few thoughts from the weekend. First I just want to give a Huge thanks to the Ultimate Armwrestling League. awesome job stepping up and making magic happen in a very short time. This was likely the best tournament I have been to, with the 190lb right handed class being the deepest class I have ever seen. Really cool to see that even after the rollercoaster ride we have all been on with the “world bar” event that most pullers came together and made the best of the weekend. Lots of good things comin from the west coast.. Met lots of people… good times..

Oleg!!! my god. The deal is I love this kid. Watching him through the tournament was amazing, we were all talking about what do do with him… nobody had a good answer. Robert Drenk offered me the match at some point during the tournament. I said NO WAY!!!! but… RObert has his ways lol and he made the match happen. I have never felt a hand like that ever, he is a good armwrestler also. I was very nervous to pull him, I was a little unsure what exactly I was facing. In my opinion Oleg is the stongest and most dominant pound for pound puller that I have ever seen. I will not be surprised if in a few years he is unrivaled. time will tell. Much respect to that young man.

Thanks again to the Ual for making Armwrestling awesome “
