From ancient Egyptian time about 2000 B.C. men have always wanted to find new ways of testing their strength against each other, and the purest way was with arm wrestling, over the years the sport has become one of the most popular with the first tournament being held in California in 1952 and has become one of the biggest and most diverse annual tournaments in the world. The arm wrestling phenomena has taken over the television with blockbuster movies like “Over the Top” and one of the highest watch series “Game of Arms”.
