This is a story on the news in Utah about John Brzenk. There's also a video of it which is filmed where I went training just last week! Take a look!

"He's the undisputed world champion. Hands down.
He's held that position for 20 years.
In Europe people line up for his autograph. A woman from Siberia drove 18 hours just to meet him.
They just made a movie about the guy.
But chances are, you've never heard of him.
Because he doesn't play baseball or basketball.
John Brzenk is an arm wrestler.

'How to Armwrestle' short film is now complete!

Click here to give your feedback on the film.

Video Jug, a short film production company has contacted MKAF and would like our assistance to make a 'How To Armwrestle' short film.  The film will go through the basic techniques of armwrestling, and tournament preperation of one of the crew who will enter the New Years Cup on Jan 26th!  He will be trained in the techniques on Tuesday 8th Jan and will be give a training schedule to go away and follow.  I will coach him and check up on his progress over the phone and he will then enter the competition.  I think it will great for exposure for armwrestling and MKAF. 

If you want to be in this short film that will be seen by thousands, come along on Tuesday 8th January 2008!  It doesn't matter if you're from MKAF or not!  Be there!

The video will be used on our site as a demo to armwrestling for beginners and could be a great help! 

TUESDAY 8th JAN 2008!! BE THERE!

2007 has been a great year for MKAF!  We've seen up and coming armwrestlers who were considered as tomorrow’s champions, compete…and beat the best armwrestlers in the UK, we’ve purchased 3 new armwrestling tables, we've been crowned as the best club in the UK, Steve Kirlew won the best armwrestler award, and even met the Queen!!!  Now that's a successful year!!!
First of all we saw Dean Scarsbrook shockingly defeat Steve Rogers, bringing Steve back from a loosing position!! Steve Rogers has been the most dominant armwrestler in any weight class for years which makes this win even more impressive! Dean has only been armwrestling for just over 12 months and has now been given a shot at Steve’s title in April 2008! We’ll be bringing some more gold home soon enough!
We then saw Scott Ferguson destroying the former European bronze medallist Ian Stones in a 5:1 challenge match victory!!! Scott has also only been armwrestling for just over 12 months and is already competitive with the best armrmwrestlers in the UK! We’ve also seen Scott convincingly beat Ted Wilson this year who is the current European bronze medallist!!! Now that’s impressive!
MKAF will take a 2 week break for Christmas and new years and will be back on Tuesday 8th Jan! My birthday's on the 9th so go easy on me the first day back!
I'll be training all throughout those 2 weeks at my house so if anyone's interested in working off a few mince pies, I have a table, weights and bars so just let me know and i'll show you how to train to be the best!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

MKAF
