Armwrestling, in its basic form -- two people facing each other, grasping hands and attempting to force each other's arm down -- has been practiced by various peoples going back thousands of years. This site is dedicated to telling the stories of how the sport of armwrestling has evolved from a basic test of strength to an organized sport currently practiced in more than 80 countries around the globe.
I hope you enjoy reading about the sport's history as much as I enjoy researching and writing about it.
