YORKTOWN, Va. - Sit-Down Arm Wrestling Nationals Tournament returned to Yorktown in 2016 with new faces and familiar competitors. Held at the Body By D Gym and Fitness Center, this event brought wrestlers from all over the United States.
Sit-down arm wrestling is a sport which relies on speed, style, and a tremendous amount of strength. Almost everyone has arm wrestled before, whether settling score or just having fun. Tournaments, however, follow strict rules about sportsmanlike conduct and technique.
Arm wrestling had a boost in popularity following the AMC show Game of Arms, a reality TV series which focused on the sport.
Wrestlers weighed in at 10 a.m. Saturday and matches began at 1 p.m.
