CHEATING IN ARMWRESTLING Empty
PostSubject: CHEATING IN ARMWRESTLING   CHEATING IN ARMWRESTLING EmptyThu 2 Aug - 22:12

Having seen a lot of video footage of Armwrestling matches at all levels,i have noticed a number of faults and dirty tricks that could constitute cheating,These include contestants trying to pull each other UNDER THE TABLE,and however the most common fault i have noticed is contestants not holding the knob/handgrip properly and in extreme cases not holding the knob at all and using the free hand to pull the other one over which is cheating of the worst kind. So what is the correct way to hold the knob/handgrip ? I myself and many others consider the correct way to hold the knob/handgrip is to grip the hand around the handgrip with the thumb over the top, as this gives a sense of security from being pulled under the table etc.What do others think?

NO 'correct' way, as long as you touch the peg, it's fine!

Letting go will be a foul of some degree.

Using the free hand to pull the working hand over? Personally in any competition i've not seen that happen.
However, where your body is shouldn't matter, as long as your elbow is touching the pad and any part of your body doesn't touch your own or your opponents hand.

The basic rules are as follows,
on the set up the competitors thumb knuckles must be showing, both elbows must be on the 7x7 inch pads, shoulders square to the table, hands centred, wrists straight, the non armwrestling hand must be in contact with the peg and remain so during the match, at least 1 foot must be in contact with the floor.
Once the ref is happy, he will give the ready go, you are then free to move into any position you wish providing your elbow remains in contact with the pad, your non armwrestling hand stays in contact with the peg, you have no contact between your shoulder and your arm.
I'm not sure what you mean about pulling under the table, if you mean dropping the body so your shoulder ends up below the line of the table then this is perfectly legal, if however you go below the table and your arm straightens, the match should be stopped due to dangerous position.

There are a load of rules but the best way to see for yourself is to come along to the British championships later this month, the countries best will be in attendance, including all the presidents of the various clubs from around the country who will all be happy to show you around the table.

Hope to see you there,

Dan
Cambridge club president.

Positioning of your hand on the peg also differs to what style of armwrestling style you are going to preform ie top roll or hook ect

Honestly one of the best bits of advice ever — especially when pulling abroad… get away with what you can get away with!
