They should rename it extreme un gay male hand holding. I think neil was getting real comfy-like being in devons embrace so close he could smell his musk. Im pretty damn sure if devon wanted he could’ve absolutely had his way with neil. Slam dunk. When devon pulls the kings move its because his legs can no longer support his massive elite warrior nutsack and dong so his legs just buckle like a baby deer. I saw dudes garbage at the gym in ontario once. It looked like a full Portuguese sausage flanked by 2 huge baked potatoes. Thank god we have dudes like that fighting for our freedom. Who could blame neil for not wanting to let go of his hand. Neil probably still has yet to wash that hand . He keeps it in a plastic bag all day until he goes for a WANK and breaks the seal ever so slightly just to inhale some of that manliness. Like a devon larrat smelling salt. He then immediately climax’s And then promptly reseals it to preserve the freshness

[@BalubishTech]

@eternity cosplay well i wouldnt say having a straight arm relying on your joints and muscle fibrers in a relaxed state, or very little use of your muscles is a smart move. Its a lazy move not Kings Move. Chance to win against it is by breaking opponents arm or hard enough so the joints hurt. Thats not armwrestling!

[@BalubishTech]

@eternity cosplay congrats, myself are at 42cm. I have seen several videos with people like todd having his head, shoulders at table height and elbow pointing away from the pad not even touching it and resting triceps on the pads. I understand what you are saying but im not agreeing with LazyMove for those reasons. Just because you can do something doesnt mean its a valid reason. Have you tried bending an arm backwards with regular side pressure against the elbow joint? Use full pressure urself doing that for 8min, an 80 year old can pull you down after that drain of energy. Reason why i dislike it, its a lazy move for much less work. Its like the dude that switched gender and now beats all wimen in "its" female weightlifting class. Why, well because as a man that thing wasnt impressive at all. But switch gender and voila you are now the best woman with man genes. Back in the day we called it doping. Not that it has anything to do with this really except, i just point out bullshit as i see it, same with straight arm armwrestling. Cause back in the day +10 years back, a straight arm meant you lost in Arm Wrestling. But perhaps we get a gender neutral straight arm armwrestling class while sitting below the table. And they can sit on chair aswell while hanging under the table anyways right.

[@budhhansda1183]

the thing with king's move is that you can't pin it and if your arm can't be pinned you will win anyway hence you feel like a king and get money and also it's a very advanced move so yeah beginner and intermediate players don't try it. only very pro league people try it. #NoOffence the real question is what would you do if your opponent does it and you are like i can't do anything its cheating, or why don't you give it a try the king's move and get the money. the comment section is filled with egoistic peoples.EDIT: anyway pride is the greatest sin. so yeah #NoOffence

[@MeatCooker]

Kingsmove is fine since the beginning for me the problem was that Michael Todd fouled so much because his shoulder dropped so much under the table and it was never called 95% of the times.

[@michaelclarkj]

As a casual fan, the rules are very confusing especially around this move (and also since they've been changed). I would enjoy watching this maneuver if knowledgeable commentators could explain the rules and if the refs enforced them.

[@kjell-olavmossestad5401]

​@@michaelclarkjmy understanding is that there actually is a rule.. and that it is when the shoulder drops beneath the table, when it is illegal. The other obvious thing is, that the people who like the Kings move, know this rule, but deny it every time an arm-wrestler goes too low under the table, and just turn the blind eye on it. Its strange how no-one wants to be honest about this rule. And the referee's almost never stop it when the shoulder goes beneath the table.. Are they blind, or just not bothered to be rigid on the rule ?

[@UnseenSpirit]

Why do I always feel like Devon is educating us while Michael is always trying to justify himself?

[@peterpeterson3385]

Yeah I think the same. Maybe it is because Devon is loved and Michael is a "meme" and a bit hated. He might be a bit frustrated that people that does not know anything about armwrestling are commenting on the topic, how it is a bad move for the sport, cheating etc. He knows that it really requires skill and he is known to use it and to be really good at, so he wants to defend it. I do not like it either, but who am I to say really.

This is the reason why you will never see Michael Todd pull in the International Circuit: "The WAF, in an attempt to limit the King's Move body position, has placed a rule in effect that makes it illegal to drop the competition shoulder (i.e. the shoulder of the arm that is wrestling) below the table (rule 8.1.6)."

[@deadseamonster]

My problem is, looking at the replays, Michael's arm is all but straight during the match. Yet, you still can't pin him. Being so far under the table, creates an arm angle that makes it just about impossible to pin him without breaking his arm. That has to be addressed.

Except that's not how anatomy works. No one is able to support their entire weight solely on the leverage of ONE elbow at an unnatural angle.

Exactly its lazy, its not armwrestling when you start by pull out your f arm straight and have your head at the same height as where your elbow are suppposed to be, not your fat head. Im pretty sure doing it like Todd does it, im fairly certain he could just take a chair and sit on even on his side with his straight arm relaxing relying on joints and ligaments etc to hold the opponent back until they are so tired of trying to break his arm when what they should only work for is putting that arm down on that pad. Instead they are glorifying the possibility of bending, snapping someones arm the wrong way is impossible with side presssure, and that Todd is why you get so much fucking hate about it.

[@jakemitchell1671]

I know what you're saying, but a key point is that Monster's arm WILL NOT extend 100% straight. And that's the REAL reason King's Move is used: After so many years training and pulling in the arm wrestling positions, they get the "wonky arm," and a very limited range of motion. The fact that their arm won't straighten is used as an advantage.

[@kmolnardaniel]

Devon also said, that until the rules allow it, you are allowed to use it. He said, by adjusting the pad’s position, it would be harder to do the kings move. But that would result in different usecases, different ideas to “cheat”. Until someone can’t show how to beat the kings move easily, or they change rules or the referrees goes after it, it will stay.

What Todd can't seems to understand is that people don't have a problem with kings move, they have a problem with the way he uses it (shoulder below the table, elbow almost completely off the pad etc.)

Aaron Adams tell me the fine line between kings move and a top roll. Both are pronating and dropping and dragging. So that means take away toproll? What about posting toproll? Hooking kings? Floppy press? Hell let’s just get rid of all styles in arm wrestling. Wouldn’t that be great?

[@smashleyscott8272]

I have no problem with the kings as long as the shoulder stays above the elbow pad.

[@redthedragon88]

It's not the kings move itself, it's when the tricep is on the pad and not the elbow, and/or shoulder is below the table

[@RageDaug]

I don't like it when Devon does the Kings Move either, but I'll give him credit that's it's not nearly as dumb as Todd's. Todd is under the table with tricep on the pad with his arm fully extended. The only way to pin him is the break his elbow or lift his entire body up. I'd like to see the rule changed to no part of the chest can be below the top of the table.

3-0 devon

[@kyleoh8017]

3Vimages That was left handed. Denis never looked unbeatable right handed. Extremely strong, yeah, but there were guys who beat him right handed and some that gave him a lot of trouble. Left handed yeah, Denis was unbeatable for a short while. Thinking the Russian guys will make fools of the Americans though is stupid. These guys are all around the same level.

[@3vimages471]

Kyle? Oh Ok he is not Russian but do you really think Devon could stand with Levan or even Vitaly Lalekin with either hand? No chance. Tim Bresnan was beaten comprehensively in the Top 8 tournament...... I can't see Devon doing any better. Levan is just a monster coming into his prime ...... he could become totally unbeatable.

[@anthonyguess5528]

Im sorry. To me thats just cheating and not what I consider to be real arm wrestling

Singling out the King's move as cheating is really like the pot calling the kettle black. Especially in a sport where everyone is constantly trying to cheat and all the time.

Why there is no rule that your shoulder has to be higher than elbow? Then the king's move would be ok, otherwise it is horseshit.

[@RR35782]

That's the good point

[@Afkg3ar]

But the question never asked was how can you pin down a straight arm? I don't like the move but how is it allowed to have your arm straighten out and not counted as a loss even if it doesn't go to the pin mark (because the guy is under the table & impossible to pin his hand without breaking his arm)?

Stoyan Terziyski if you wanna ban it, then tell me the fine line between a toproll and kings move. They’re both outside techniques with pronation and drag. What about posting toproll? Open toproll? Open/ hook kings? Floppy wrist press? Hell they should just ban all techniques would thay make u happy?

[@quixotic3344]

Putting the "aesthetics" aside, I feel most people who don't like the KM think it's hard to counter. Thus, I would greatly appreciate a video on how to counter it.

[@shinrionah5698]

quixotic you can indeed counter it, with 50% more strength than the kings mover... which is unrealistic because this guys are so close to their max potential that adding that much strength is impossible.

[@haagenneldeberg6787]

Try and push the armwrestler off the pad, when he is doing that move. They are on the very edge of the pad as it is, so it would just take some strong nudges to keep the king's mover making elbow fouls.

[@shinrionah5698]

Haagen Neldeberg yeah but if the other guy is smart he will take advantage and climb your hand easier.

how do so many people get so upset over this move or just being lower than the table but not say anything about people wrapping themselves around table legs? there is so much that is allowed in real armwrestling that most regular people would think was cheating.

[@geektarded]

Great video. Completely changed my mind about Michael and the Kings move. You guys are truly masters of the sport.

[@natallyhernandez8756]

Thanks for all this tips my brother

[@saltedllama2759]

Love to hear the different perspectives. Michael is clearly a more emotional teacher, he gets excited and goes too far down the trail. Devon is an absolute master of teaching and explanation and can break it down so anyone can understand it. Different styles of talking; different styles of pulling. Both great champions. The fans can like or dislike whatever they want. That's the beauty of free will and preferences. But their hate for this move is unwarranted, because it is an exceptionally advanced technique. It is NOT wussing out or running away; it is not using your body weight against someone's arm; it is not a bone lock. Conversely, it doesn't make someone tougher or manlier to go power-against-power. It's competition. The point is to win. Literally no professionals agree with the fans, so the fans should stop making such stupid comments about it. Michael's King's Move is so advanced that he's offensive with it now. In fact, I bet he could beat Levan in a super-match 5-1. Levan has shown no ability to climb and press, and as we saw against Ongarbaev, he has stamina issues. Especially in his hand where it blows up so big - Michael would terrorize that hand. Devon is, arguably, the most intelligent and tactical arm-wrestler of all-time. He lost to Michael, and lost to Denis, and has only gotten bigger and better since. I wouldn't want to take on this guy at all right now. Let alone if he stays healthy another 6 months or so. I bet he could win a re-match with a fully recovered Denis because he would get the stop next time.

[@jameswebb3410]

We have actually seen Levan press before And he actually is a very intelligent armwrestler so I'm pretty sure he would have the technique to beat Michael, stamina is another issue
