Michael Todd’s Technique And Style

Michael Todd is a champion of the “Kings Move” which is one of the most controversial techniques in armwrestling. The Kings Move is a defensive position in armwrestling where the competitor utilizing this strategy keeps one hand on the peg, and their competing elbow on the pad, and then drops their entire body below the table. Due to the physiology of the human body, it creates a “bone lock” meaning the joints don’t flex in this position. It is dangerous, tires out the opponent, and creates a kind-of stalemate. Many professional armwrestlers of various weight classes have called for its ban.

Michael Todd: A Quick Bio

He is one of the strongest and most feared armwrestling competitors of all time. He has been armwrestling since he was a teenager and found his calling at a local, county fair in Arkansas. He is currently married to former armwrestling champion Rebecca Todd. At 51 years old, he holds 20 national titles and 16 world titles making him one of the most decorated armwrestlers of all time. The professional table champion is a gregarious character and proponent of the sport and is known to be an incredibly friendly athlete. He makes more friends at the table than he does enemies.

As a proficient Kings Move user, he has divided the community into supporters and protestors of the controversial technique.
