Armbender Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 I have only met 1 Austrailian armwrestler and it was at the worlsd in South Africa. He had said that their are very few clubs so timmy may be your only hope Quote Will Sarty Nova Scotia
Svedberg Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) http://www.armwrestling.com.au/ http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/armwrestling/ Found this there: Contact Richard Aplin: Richard@armwrestling.com.au (ph: 0422 973131 international: +61 422 973131) for more information on arm wrestling in Australia. He might know if there is something in your area. Edited October 16, 2006 by Svedberg Quote
MarkH Posted October 17, 2006 Posted October 17, 2006 Yeah, contact Richard. I remember helping him set up at his university years ago. Quote
Jeff T Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 I don't think those websites have been updated in a long while, armwrestling.com.au still has a flyer for the 2002 aus grip championships in the "upcoming tournaments" section. He also used to be in Sydney, but by all means give him a call you might be in luck. He ran the armwresltling competition on the footy show that year as I recall, and apparently there was a big armwrestling comp at a pub near me (sydney) recently, so it stands to reason that there's more AWers out there. Just a matter of finding them. Good luck! Quote
verdigriz Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Hi guys, and thanks for the replies.. I contacted richard and well, in all due respect, it was no better than talking to a door handle, the man didnt have a clue...looks like I will just have to armwrestle friends Quote Try to become the type of person others do not normally encounter in this world
Ray Hansford Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Why dont you start your own one? Those Aussies need us Kiwis to start something they can end up taking credit for later.

Ray Hansford Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Hi Bud Training going well, strength coming back fairly quickly. #3 is still being stubben but slowly surrendering. Any luck with the armwrestling club? Would like to enter contest in the future. Quote Ray Hansford Current PB's 15 reps #2 1 rep #3 "If you think you can-You can, If you think you can't-You can't.
