2026 Kansas State Championship

Claire and Dominic pulled hard and are no doubt going to learn a lot from their matches.

I pulled the masters class on the right arm and only managed one win. All of the guys in that class today were pros, so it was good to see where my level is.

On a happier note, I managed to win gold on the left arm against a guy who has beaten me several times in the past. This was my first match back from an injury last year and it was great to win. Since there was only one other guy in the class, we essentially had a "supermatch" which was best 2 of 3.

I also won the BMF (bad mo fo... weight classes don't matter) amateur class on the right arm. I beat a young guy who got the better of me at the last tournament and then faced an older gent twice. The first time I seemed to have injured him, so the last win was relatively easy.

Very glad to be a part of the Kansas City Armwrestling club and to learn this complex and interesting sport! Thanks to all the guys we pull with at practice for teaching Dom and I how to apply our strength!
