The World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) is the universally recognized global governing body of amateur arm wrestling and comprises more than 85 member countries.
Some noted top arm wrestling competitors include:
Competitive Styles: John Brzenk is known mostly for his array of techniques which change almost every time he is engaged in competition, even with the same opponent within the same match. As of the Summer of 2008, John Brzenk is ranked #1 in North America. Ron Bath is known for his use of the Top Roll technique which emphasizes a 'roll' of the wrist as he brings the opponent's wrist down. Travis Bagent, like Brzenk, is known for his wide array of techniques, coupled with his massive strength and explosive style. Many of Bagent's matches have ended in seconds. However, Bagent is most well known for his colorful remarks and rather rude comments against his opponents. Bagent is considered the best left-handed arm wrestler in the world and is currently ranked second overall in North America, as of the summer of 2008.
Other competitors such as Matt Girdner, Michael Selearis, Sean Madera, Marcio Barboza, Christian Binnie, and Anthony Macaluso are known for their reliance on strength, coupled with the hook technique, where the wrist turns into a hooked grip after the referee has started the match. "The hook" or "hooking" is any move derived from the inside system of arm wrestling. The second generic system or style of Arm wrestling is known as outside arm wrestling; "the top roll" or "top rolling". The "triceps press", "shoulder pressing", or "shoulder rolling" is often described as the third generic system or style of arm wrestling. Finally, certain arm wrestlers depend on the straps such as Jason Vale, who won the 1997 Petaluma World Championships in the super heavyweight class at only 175 pounds using the strap technique.
Many arm wrestlers will have a signature style or favorite technique, while others have enjoyed success by becoming extremely well-rounded. Within each of the three broad technical systems of arm wrestling, numerous clearly identifiable techniques have been developed and enhanced over time. Great Britain's most successful arm wrestler and former two-time European and World Middleweight Champion Neil Pickup is one of today's leading arm wrestlers. He is widely recognized as having originated and developed techniques to suit the genetic makeup of individual arm wrestlers. Neil Pickup has enjoyed an Amateur and Professional career spanning more than 20 years. Throughout his career, he has won more than 60 International titles across 5 different weight classes on both his right and left arms, while also training numerous World Champions both male and female. This success has been largely attributed to his technical prowess, experience, and understanding of the athlete's whole body as a lever.
