More than 100 men and women are expected to compete for the chance to win the 2017 New York State Sit-Down Arm Wrestling Championship Among the titles to be awarded, there will winners for the men’s masters in 43+ and 55+ age groups and three women’s classes in right and left-hand class competition.

Custom Gold, Silver and Bronze medallions, plaques and certificates will be awarded in each weight class and the day’s strongest overall male and female will receive special MVP Awards.

“The NYC Sit Down will surely produce the best brute strength arm wrestlers; since little technique can be performed in the sit-down position,” according to Gene Camp, founder and president of the New York Arm Wrestling Association. “This event is going to be very exciting to watch because many previous stand-up arm wrestling winners are competing without being able to use their signature techniques in this one-on-one sheer strength, sit-down championship.” This event will also be an America Red Cross Fundraiser to support victims of the horrific disasters caused by the recent hurricanes.
