Chez Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hey, I have started to really get into AW in the past couple months. Does anyone know of any training groups in the NY/CT area? Right now I just mess around with friends but none of them are strong enough. I lift and train grip but I really want some practice against guys who know what they are doing.

Geralt Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I guess Holland is just a busstop to far away huh. Shame. I'd really like to give handwrestling a try sometime. But I think it's very taxing on the arms, together with griptraining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broly Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Thanks a lot man. I'm definitely going to check those out. I train with the guys from nycarms.com. The main training spot is in Queens, NY at Jason Vales home. He has his whole basement fitted with 2 professional arm wrestling tables and a nice amount of room. You always get a great group of guys with a ton of experience and massive strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broly Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We normally train on Thursdays but have been practicing on Mondays for the past few weeks.We'll train once a week, sometimes twice a week but it's rare. I only have his cell. He shoots out a mass text message for the practices each week. Email nyawa@aol.com from the site and ask that you'd like to come to one of the practices. They should be able to give you some info. Jason doesn't mind people coming from word of mouth either. Where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I live in Katonah. Its a small town in the suburbs. Doubt you have heard of it. Its like 25 mins north of white plains. I have friends that live in queens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broly Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'll PM you next time we have a practice, hopefully you can come down. Most of the guys are going to a tournament in CT on the 21st so practice is put on hold till after the event. Always want to give at least 2 weeks of rest from pulling before a competition.

Meet you half way once a month at a coffee shop. Seriously though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
