THE HISTORY AND RULES OF ARM WRESTLING

An arm wrestling match is a sporting contest where 2 people place either their left or right elbows on a table, they then grip each other's hand, and try to force back the opponents hand so that it makes contact with the table surface.

The sport of arm wrestling requires a lot of strength, mental toughness, good technique and endurance. Some of the more common techniques are the Top Roll, the Post, the Hook and the Shoulder Roll.

In competition arm wrestlers stand up with their arms placed on a competition arm wrestling table. The matches can also divided into weight classes or divisions as well as left and right handed divisions. Strict rules such as fouls and penalties, (such as the competitor's elbow leaving a matted area where the elbow is to remain at all times or a false start), and trying to escape a possible arm pin by breaking the hand grip with the opponent may result in a loss of the bout.
