I know what arm wrestling is, but what, exactly, is this thing that goes by the moniker of mixed wrestling?

If you already know what arm wrestling in the traditional sense is, then you will be on familiar ground regarding mixed arm wrestling.  At its essence, mixed arm wrestling is the same thing as standard am wrestling with one very important difference:  it features men wrestling against women.  They are out to prove, regardless of sex and male and female league classifications, who is the best.

The rules of the game pretty much standardized across both types with subtle variations throughout depending on the tournaments taking place.  That said, if you know the rules of one version, you are good to go for the other.

Okay, knowing what this type of sport is, how did mixed armwrestling come in to being?

It is likely that it started off as an amateur game in establishments where betting could be placed on the match.  Eventually, it grew into something more serious to the point where it evolved into the professional arena.

All in all, it was simply a natural progression of arm wrestling as a sport and is a great example of how arm wrestling truly is accessible to anyone.

While history is great and all, what about the present day?  What is mixed arm wrestling like in the here and now?

You can still see plenty of mixed armwrestling matches across the country in all manner of establishments such as, yet not limited, to bars and pubs.  But the best thing about modern mixed wrestling is that it has come to the point where it is recognized as sport with its own tournaments, titles, and prizes.  This is a good time for both competitors and spectators who enjoy “pulling” as the sport is known.  Men and women from all walks of life get to compete against each on equal ground and fans of both genders (especially couples!) get to enjoy great match ups.

Now that you’ve got an idea of what mixed arm wrestling is, you should be able to enjoy the sport to its fullest extent.
