As we all know, it’s very hard to find any literature on armwrestling.

An armwrestling technique is not only the arm movement after “Ready, GO!”, but also the movement of the body, leg stance and shifts in position during the fight.

All armwrestling techniques can be presented in particular positions and phases:

POSITIONS:

1.Stand up (legs and body positioned depending on fighting arm)

2. Starting position (grip, beforeReady, GO!)

PHASES:

1.Attack (arm and body movement afterReady, GO!to the point of 45°)

2.Defence (stopping the opponents arm)

3.Counter (attacking the opponent’s arm)

4.Utilizng the upper hand (all action until STOP command)

For every armwrestler, both amateur and pro, its crucial to master the techniques. In this issue of Armpower, preceding the POSITIONS chapter, we wish to present phases of techniques, the first phase especially.

We can discern a few phases of attack, but one of the most popular is over the top.

Ways of attacking over the top.

1. Over the top trough opponents pinky finger


BeforeReadyGO!the opponent on the left places his elbow in the center of the pad. If the other opponent has a longer arm, place elbow in the front part of the pad.


The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger.


After „ready, GO!”we attempt to stretch the opponent’s pinky finger by pulling our wrist towards our body.


Open the opponents pinky finger with the wrist bent.


2. Over the top trough opponents index finger


Beforeready, GO!the left side oponent places his elbow in the center of the pad. If the other opponent has a longer arm, place elbow in the front part of the pad.



The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger.


After „ready, GO!”we attempt to stretch the opponent’s index finger by pulling our wrist towards our body.



In the finishing phase of this technique the attackers index finger knuckle is 2-3 cm above the opponents index finger.

3. Over the top to opponents four fingers


Beforeready, GO!the left side oponent places his elbow in the center of the pad. If the other opponent has a longer arm, place elbow in the front part of the pad. Thumb is tucked under yoy index finger.


The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger.
Before
ready, GO!stretch the opponents hand putting pressure on his four fingers.

Afterready, GO!, apply outward wrist motion to put pressure on your opponents four fingers



In the last phase useoutbound rorating motion of your wrist to stretch opponents fingers.

4. Over the top with wrist block


Beforeready, GO!the attacker puts their elbow on the right edge of the pad (nearer to them). If the opponents forearm is longer than the attackers, the technique will not work. It only works for an attacker with a forearm much longer than the opponents.

The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger or on the same level. To perform this properly, the opponent must be gripping your hand with his pinky finger in the crook of your wrist.

The attacker should still have their elbow on the right edge of the pad (nearer to them). Afterready, GO!they should start to slide their elbow diagonally.

Afterready, GO!, using an outward movement, block opponents wrist with pinky finger, while rotating your wrist to stretch their fingers. The elbows moves diagonally across the pad.


Afterready,Go! It will be very hard for us to perform this technique, if the opponents pinky is above the crook of our wrist. The best position is for the opponents pinky to be placed parallel with the crook of our wrist.

With a movement to the side, with elbow moving diagonally across the pad, we put pressure on the opponents fingers.

5. Over the top to the side.


Beforeready, GO!the attacker puts their elbow on the right edge of the pad (nearer to them). This technique only works for an attacker with a forearm much longer than the opponents.


The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger or on the same level.


Afterready,GO!we stretch the opponents fingers towards ourselves we twist the opponents wrist outwards, with a sideways movement.


The goal of this technique is reached, when the opponents wrist is facing outwards.

6. Sideways attack.


Beforeready, GO!the attacker places their elbow on the right side of the pad, nearer the center. We recommend this attack to the fighters with a very quick, sure start.


The person on the left grabs the opponents hand in such a way that their index finger knuckle is higher than the opponents index finger or on the same level.



After „ready,GO!” put pressure on the opponents whole hand with a sideways motion.

With a good, quick start, you can get a lot of advantage with this technique. Perform it in one motion, with a straight wrist, do not bend opponents fingers.

With this we are done with one chapter of attackover the top. As you can see, we can easily get up to at least 50 techniques.
