The World's Best Hand & Grip Strength Training Instruction
"Old School Armwrestling"
How to be a Terror at the Table
It all began in Petaluma, California back in 1952. The locals would all gather at Gilardi's saloon
after work to knock back a few cold ones. To pass the time, they started engaging in friendly
bouts of "wrist wrestling."
The competition soon became fierce and when bragging rights for the strongest arm
in town were on the line, Gilardi's could scarcely hold the crowds that formed.
This was all witnessed by Bill Soberanes, a journalist for the local newspaper,
"The Petaluma Argus-Courier." He took an interest in these events and had the grand
idea that if arm wrestling could generate this kind of excitement,
it should be an organized sport on the world's stage.
Bill and his friend Dave Devoto soon organized the first World's Wristwrestling
Championship in one of Petaluma's largest auditoriums. This event turned
out to be tremendously successful, and exciting things began to happen.
Old School Armwrestling
From there, armwrestling made an appearance in "Peanuts" (when Snoopy traveled to Petaluma to win the title),
ABC's Wide World of Sports, The Learning Channel, Slyvester Stallone's "Over The Top," and many, many other places.
Yes even though armwrestling has grown substantially with televised coverage on ESPN and
championships held all over the globe, there is still nothing better than knowing
you can pin anyone in the room, which is why armwrestling has been and always will be
a fascinating subject as far as training goes. Despite the popularity, there hadn't been much
information written about how to arm wrestle until Ernie Jeffrey, a competitive
armwrestler and later a long-time referee, sat down and did just that.
In addition to seeing armwrestling from many different angles as a competitor,
as referee and coach he developed a unique understanding of the sport.
It's more than just strength...
He wanted to know what made a good armwrestler...
Was it size? Age? Strength? Desire? Technique?
Sure, there were plenty of very strong guys who stepped up to the table -- but the biggest
and strongest didn't always win...
Ernie figured it was a combination of all of these factors and so he set about
developing his own unique system and one thing was for sure: his pupils excelled at each tournament in which he
participated. It was time to take the logical next step - teaching this information to the world.
In 1977, Ernie put all he had learned into a book entitled
Armwrestling: How to Become a Champion. It was the first book ever published on armwrestling,
and remains one of the few ever published on the subject.
It was also one of the best "training" books ever written and because it was self-published,
it was also extremely rare -- and almost impossible to get a copy of, until now...
