king's move, though controversial, is one of the most powerful defences seen in elite level armwrestling.

You are too 🙏🏻
Juji that was a great series with Devon. When are you and Tom going to visit him in Canada?
Juju you are awesome
Noice
Jujimufu hello
13:18 "WHERE ARE YOU GOING BUDDY??" always love that line
Posed no problem for the 🐐
JB the GOAT!
Best line ever
Exactly🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watch that clip whenever I am frustrated with Todd...makes me feel much better afterwards.
Legend has it the Boogeyman looks under his table for Michael Todd.
so.. u love one punch. and arm wrestling... nice
Stop being everywhere
Fuck. Off.
@hhhk20 sounds like you enjoy hanging under the table on your opponents arm until they get tired jk
@hhhk20 Devon does this, for two reasons. 1st one is, he does his best to avoid any kind of controversy, and 2nd reason is to not appear to be unsportsmanlike. Yes, the jokes are a bit stale now, but it gets old seeing this todd guy wedge his elbow on the SIDE of the pad and just wait for his opponent to get tired. Only then does he stand up to press them down. Gets old, quick fast and in a hurry.
13:17 Brzenk: Where you goin' buddy? Todd: Under the table!!!
cue the 'walking down the stairs' mime move
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAH
hahahahahahahaha
He couldn't pull that shit on john..john just powers through whatever any guy brings to the table..I like johns technique the best .john is the man
@@danielperryman2128 John do cheat. He do a plan with jerry cadorrete to tired todd
Notice How Geroge is above the table the whole time and his elbow is on the pad. Michael "Under The Table" Todd lives under the table with his elbows off the pad.
George doesn't need to go under the table to generate up pressure to regrip, because he is short, look how low devon and todd need to go for a good regrip (shoving their elbows forward and hammer curling). Thats just how it is. Thats why devons kings move looks ugly, he is so long and tall he needs to go very low
Todd is weak and does not deserve the title
Shit the fuck uo
So gorge is the grandfather of the king's move
Thanks for reading my comment Devon and thanks for my first highlight on KZhead you're the man
*Godfather, and Todd is the crown prince
George is Todd's hero.
George is the father of the Dad Move
@@jamespeacock356 or.... King of the King's move
The problem I have with crazy George’s kings move, even more so than I do with Michael’s, is that 90% of the time, his shoulder is below the table in a neutral or losing position. When your upper arm is below parallel to the table in a neutral or losing position , your elbow is no longer on the pad, it’s elevated off the pad and your tricep is now your fulcrum point. THAT is against the rules in every arm wrestling federation, even WAL.
Aaron Russell you basically nailed it. :)
100% that match with the young russain guy was bullshit
No it's not. The pad is called pad for a reason. It's padded so you can have your tricep and elbow on the pad at the same time. The spongy structure of the pad fills all that space so your elbow is still on the pad even if you're resting on your triceps against it's edge. Pad is a soft surface, that's why it can offer a generous amount of movement.
@@damasek219 That's bs logic. The pad is squishy so elbows don't break against the table
@@dylancurbjumper i wasn't trying to describe the purpose of the pad, I was just stating a fact that's true regardless of the intended purpose.
My Noob opinion, Dimitri Trubin has the best anti kings move. Climb higher and highet against ur opponents hand covering his entire thumb and shoulder press, be patient and dont over commit.
John Brzenk is the best anti king's move
@@dillon1977 es el mejor
trubin got away with the win that match because the strap was loose enough for him to climb. nowadays especially in the WAL matches you see michael todd always pestering the referee to make the strap as tight as possible so the opponents hand is pretty much pinned tight onto his making them unable to climb. Thats why devon was able to climb with his hand in the armwars supermatch they had in 2012 but not in their recent WAL match. The best way to beat michael todds kingsmove is really just to completely over power him even in his both shoulders under the table position and make him feel like his arm is going to snap if he doesnt concede the match
@@IronHadouken if you have enough back pressure and prepare specifically to get in that position then even tight strap would not make a difference, trubin got that very smart not just got away because he was lucky
@@rosucristian1139 well devon found it very hard to get into that position in their wal match why is that??
"Where you goin' buddy?!" gets me every time :D That was an epic moment. Devon next time you pull Michael, please make sure to "make him remember" ;-D Good luck and God bless!
It really is an iconic moment in arm wrestling history. Especially since it came from the most beloved arm wrestler ever in John Brzenk against maybe the most hated in michael todd.
You got me into armwresling so thank you for that because I am the best in my school because of you
Same
Same
Too
I feel young commenting on this too, but same! Hahah
Same with me
1:01 lol those women in the background certainly know how to act for a crowd for hire.
Please make a "Top Armwrestlers Ever" video
Holy shit, dude. You're right. What the h
Michael Todd vs Crazy George supermatch, make it happen! :P
Is there room under the table for two?
@@jr9764 xddd
Would be the first match in history where the filming was done entirely under the table.
@@jr9764 ROFL! beautiful :)
OMG, the comments are killing me, LMFAO.... in all seriousness though, Michael Todd would be crazy george in about 15 seconds..Michael has a long forearm, and the best transitional press in the US...
Now I understand the kings move and I respect it IF it's done properly. But I think most of the people gave Michael a hard time because you could clearly see that his tricep was on the pad, not his elbow. His elbow bone is pointing up and isn't even close to the pad. And that is a foul period.
You are right on the money...if it's done properly....not elbow in the air and top of tricep on the pad.
Get over it you sad fuck
What's funny is that having tricep on the pad is more common than you might think. I have seen Denis done it a couple of times as well, but fans only criticize Michael because that have possibly become their favorite pastime.
@@kevarosenberg8339 just shut up if you can't say anything civilized
CossyMango The thing with Todd he uses the King’s Move while having a series of things working together: bonelock (arm doesn’t straighten), keeps triceps on pad while elbow points up, shoulders end up under the table, etc. In my opinion this is unfair and he should get fauls whenever his shoulders drop under table or when his elbow rises off the pad (despite still having triceps contact). The triceps is not the elbow... he should get a faul, which he rarely gets. If he would get a faul whenever he does one of those things, he would lose almost always through accumulating too many fauls.
Devon you are the one who got me into arm wrestling seen the Shaq video around the time it came out and after that I became a huge fan of yours which translated into me loving arm wrestling I started training a few weeks ago can't wait to give you a shout out when I'm winning all the super heavy weight titles in a few years thanks for the inspiration
if you live under the table you arent a real champion. in my book you won
Nicolas same experience for me I saw Devon going against Shaq and loved arm wrestling since
it's at least a year since you commented. Where are you now? I started training and getting into armwrestling about a month ago or so maybe two and now I'm the best out of the people I know (which isn't saying much because I don't hang out with a lot of people)
It's interesting seeing how different people were introduced into this sport, and how most people found it thanks to Devon, dude is really an ambassador of the sport
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. it’s so great to listen to the breakdown behind the techniques
Devon, these videos are pure Gold ! Keep em' coming !
Hey Devon! I just watched your video with jujimufu. I really enjoyed them and I would love to see you have a Rocky like comeback and beat Dennis!!! As a personal trainer I have to say I think your on the right track lowering reps and trying to build power man. Also in the jujimufu video I noticed you talked about needing to train your triceps and I absolutely agree. I think building your arm more completely will help you a ton. I also think adding in more full motion bicep exercises to build your biceps like some of the ones you did with jujimufu will be super beneficial. Got to build more power and strength to beat Dennis Devon. I really want to see you succeed. Doing explosive movements like box jumps, power cleans, and explosive deadlifts will make your overall power and pull strength better in my opinion. I think if you add in the explosive and strength movements for your hips, biceps and triceps in addition to your own lifelong arm wrestling exercises you will be able to make huge gains. Remember. . . If you do what you have always done you will get what you have always got. You got endurance for days. You just need to build that power and overall body strength and you will be golden man. Good luck Devon! Hope this might help you.
Also Devon, I'm sure you know recovery is hugggeee. Do you take creatine? If not look into it and research it. It would be very advantageous to you. It increases testosterone and hydration in the muscles and recovery.
Joshua J I read what you have written seems like a great plan of attack for the most part. There can always be some tinkering but power conditioning to tailor improvements with Devon's superior endurance is beneficial.If Devon in my opinion is able to rest long enough with increased intensity over the next year with adequate rest in between I think could be the game changer.At this level of world champion competition,small improvements are huge and certain exercises are key with enough rest to ready the body for the next battle.Take care
Plus some vitamin s ...other wise on the natural way almost impossible, the Rusia guy got easy 30% more power on the left and at the level Devon is I agree he needs to work some new excercies and try and see if they work or not.
@@davidrynberk3675 Great points Dave. Your very correct about recovery and rest. His extra work will not pay off as much if he does not rest, eat, stretch etc. I wish him the best.
Great advice
i really love the new conception of case study! watched every single second of it. Awesome!
Very informative! Thank you Devon!
Thanks for the video devon, love how much armwrestling is taking off....and you are a big part of that.
Another amazing video my friend and I love sitting down with my coffee in the morning watching your older videos before I go down to the basement and train for a hour
That was one hell of a lesson. Thanks Dev
Wow man awesome informational vlog. Great job as always Davon👍🏻
great video devon! very informative, more please!
Watching almost 1h armwrestling per day(the last month) thanks to you . Your free coaching (exercises, techiques) gives me sth to work on and test myself . Thank you
Amazing content here Devon!!! Thanks
Best video you have ever created to date Mr larratt , first class editing and narration - i can appreciate the time you put into this excellent presentation .
Loving the case studies mate, keep them coming! Big fan, hello from Australia
Keep this series devon! Great content
Been totally hooked on the sport since seeing you with Juji and Tom!!!! I never really knew much about it. Its amazing. Also these breakdowns of these techniques are great. More please:)
guys like Devon make people want to watch the sport. Entertaining... smart.......FIGHTS FAIR in most of his matches. Todd on the other hand doesn't have the balls to go head on with the best. All's he does is lay and pray under the table.
michael todd is a chach
A very well put together study. Thank you for your deep, deep knowledge!
Loooooove this new series! keep them coming!!!!
Hi Devon, i am glad I found your channel! Just discovered arm wrestling like 4 days ago and I am eating it up... I'm not even interested in doing it, but it is just extremely entertaining, more so than most sports. Thank you for being accessible and making videos! I look forward to following the sport!
I love hearing an expert at any subject break it down. These types of videos are really, really fun to listen to. I love how you break down the intricacies of the sport so that even a noob like me can understand what's going on. Always have been a combat sports fan, and obviously as an adolescent gave myself tendonitis many times fighting (and losing) to my friends in arm wrestling haha. But I never realized just how in-depth the sport itself is. I can see the similarities between this sport and other combat sports. Thanks for piquing my interest once again.
Why do I love this so much when I’ve never participated in arm wrestling competitions? You’ve made me a fan.
Yo these are great. Good job man, keep em coming
The case study videos you've been doing are awesome man! Excited for the bottom 8 as well
loving the case study series!!! 👏
I love these case study videos. I think they're important especially for those who are new to the sport. Even veteran pullers need this input from you because they don't realize how advanced these moves are and how much you need to train this to master it.
You breakdown is awesome, had to look up your casual match against him.
These are great, please post more !
Loving these case study vids Devon. Legend
Devon, I have learned so much about the art of arm-wrestling through your videos. You are a very patient and detailed teacher, Thank you for sharing
I've been watching arm wrestling vids on & off for many years, but i've only just got right in to it. This video was awesome considering you were talking about a single move. Big UK fan of yours, Devon! :)
Fascinating!!! More commentary Devon, I love learning bout the sport!
Awesome video Devon, great insight, great choice of clips, but always enjoy to see that final video of John's victory "where you goin' buddy?" CLASSIC :) And your win over MT at that event in the UK was a great match as well. You are getting good at this video production deal :)
Very.enjoyable video Devon, keep it up!
Wow thanks devon for the very knowledgeable value video on how to use kings move and to counter it
Gotta say Devon, I loved how you used this video to highlight one of the greats of armwrestling - Crazy George - instead of just talking about your most recent match with Todd. Loved the historical look at the kings move, its strengths, and its weaknesses. Good stuff. You really have a gift for teaching man.
I’ve been watching your videos and subbed for years but these case study videos are making me want to go out and join the sport, man these in depth guides get me! I’m a baseball pitcher in high school and rely on a pitch called the knuckleball. Im a huge fan of using technique over strength and this video really spoke to me on that level.
Love these technique videos. Thanks, Devon.
Don't know if you've done any vids like this before but great idea, Devon. Always appreciate hearing your analysis.
Great explanations and an excellent video! Great Job.
Very cool Devin. Thank you!
Beautiful analysis again! Best videos about arm wrestling 🤼♂️ out there!
Awesome video thank you!!!!!!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Dope video Devon. Great education here
Such a great video explaining the move and how it can be beat.
This video helped me appreciate the King's move. Thanks
Very nice video Devon, cheers from Spain 👍🏼
These ARE awesome juji!
what a treat keep'em coming
Please make more videos like this. This is awesome
do more videos of this style,this is gold
Devon you have done a great job on the past couple videos. You sound like a veteran college professor with the skill in which you explain arm wrestling tactics and techniques. Keep up the good work. Very informative and entertaining.
This is the best arm wrestling video I've seen in a long time. Do more voice over videos and explain other techniques please.
Love this content Devon. You're the main person that has opened my eyes to the mastery of arm wrestling.
Great explanation!! Thanks champ
Wish you would have went over rules and how Kings move should be regulated. What todd did in your match was such an obvious cheat and rule violation it discredits the whole sport. You aren’t doing any favors by ignoring it and sweeping it under the rug. Call him out
Devon isn't a guy that's complaining or makes excuses after a loss. It's the organizers job to listen to the demands of the fans and find a solution.
@@TimmyTurner421 they are also friends so it's awkward for him I assume. It needs regulation as a properly used kings move is fine and beatable. But when it's combined with rule breaking then it's a tough one to beat.
@@Dynamikcheese oh yea yes
Todd did not get called out because he shouldn't be the one getting called out. Rather, it is the WAL ref that should be called out, and people did. For example, the WAF head ref did.
@@CossyMango they should suspend that WAL REF he was just Ignoring all the fouls TODD made during that match. Todd knows he fouled so many times but still act's as if he won the match.
This is a great video describing the King's move. I will keep everything from this video in mind when/if I can get into arm wrestling in the future. I love the sport and I would really like to join it, I just can't find any clubs for it anywhere near me which sucks. Keep up the great videos Devon.
Another awesome video!
great video devon, keep it up
Great idea for videos keep them up!
Great breakdown devon thanks
I appreciate the sport more now that I've seen your videos. amazing stuff. keep it up Clark Kent
Watching the vids. Learning a lot. Started doing the exercises you recommend. 50 years old.
Excellent video Devon
Damn this case study was awesome! More like these please or histories/experiences about the sport! Thank you, Devon, directly from Brazil (yo Barboza)!
Literally an amazing video Devon. You can really break down arm wrestling and explain it like no one else. I have a feeling that this video may just change the arm wrestling communities view on this move.
Very good video... quality on the rise
Great video Devon.
Amazing videos, i'm learning a lot about this sport :D
Do more videos like these! These are really educational, love the commentary! (Would love it even more if you did more commentary over your own matches, your thought's on it and what would you have done differently etc.) #samethingonlyharder
Awesome vid bro
Fantastic video!
Its impressive to see not only how good, but how knowledgable you are about the entire sport. Truly the reason why i have become so interested in pursuing competitive arm wrestling
Great video Devon 💪
Excellent explanation sir
Such an interesting video. The information adds so much depth and story to armwrestling. So many great elements here: A 70+ year old arm-wrestler who is a master who trained for 50 years with a technique that is super hard to counter... thank you, I hope to see more.
thanks for the education brother. eyeopening.
Awesome explanation.
Don't know a thing about arm wrestling, but have become fascinated with it recently These guys are incredible.
I have to say I like that George is a beast. Thanks for sharing this I am very new Glad to see some of these techniques. Thanks Devon
awesome vid again
Yoy should do more of these! On different moves and strategies, and people
Dam, i know nothing about armwrestling except for what tom and juji have been showcasing. you just taught me so much in 13 mins in what i was told was the most controversial move in the game. amazing info man. keep it up
Great job Devon! Also we can see on 04:42 that George's kingsmove comes from a cupless top roll attack, which he couldn't secure due to the big strength angle of his arm. In such position you basically have two options: come back, secure all your angles and make a pin or wait down there and regrip till you get advantage. Fortunately in Europe its harder to execute a kingsmove because you'll probably get a foul for lowering your shoulders under the table))
Can you do more of these please devon they are awesome!
Great information...thanks
fantastic video
