I'm going to work on planning the detailed schedule this weekend, and James and I will discuss further to make the seminar extraordinary. I believe the participants' armwrestling abilities will improve significantly after the seminar.

Retired armwrestlers are most knowledgeable and they ref just fine.

Hello, fellow armwrestlers I would like to announce that James Retarides will visit S. Korea this September as an armwrestling ambassador & trainer, and we will have 2-day armwrestling seminar in Seoul. Thanks to 20 armwrestlers who have registered for the AW seminar ($130 each) and MANUS Enterprises (CEO: JaeYong Eom) sponsoring $1000 - I was able to gather $3600 enough to make the seminar worthwhile and take care of James' trip. When I was living in Chapel Hill (NC), two Korean armwrestlers visited my place, and many USA armwrestlers - John Brzenk, James Retarides, Todd King, Bob Gianelli, Paul Walther, John Wilson, and so on - gave us hospitality in different ways, and we are grateful for that. Now, it is Korea's turn to repay your kindness. I believe the sport of armwrestling deserves better, especially considering good people I have met from armwrestling. Inviting James Retarides is a beginning of my long-term plan. In the future, I will do my best to invite more armwrestlers to Korea in order to not only promote the sport but also share each other's culture. Wish all of us luck. :-) This is where the seminar will be held. P.S. Muscle & Fitness magazine (Korea branch) will have featured pages for this seminar.

I think this is a very good result. Rather than having everyone get beat up by a Pro, the South Korean team got to test themselves against someone who is a very good armwrestler but who is also on about the same experience level as they are. Seung Min, how do you believe your team has improved since Simon's visit? It looks to me like they have put the lessons they got from Simon to very good use. Congratulations. I am not surprised to see that Seung-Yeol won. He is a Pro caliber puller at 220 lbs. He would do very well in Open competition here the US, as he already has proven by beating some very accomplished Pro pullers here. Hello, John (Sorry for the delay in response) I can tell that Simon's visit back in 2010 was a turning point to Korea Armwrestling. For the first time, Korean armwrestlers had a chance to feel the power of a world class armwrestler who showed them a whole different world of armwrestling in terms of strength, power, and techniques; since then, they realized they need to train harder, together, and most importantly, "smarter." They started having more table time in a regular basis, helping (not just competing) each other, and sharing information/lessons learned. :-) I believe my team members (MLA Korea) will be ready for a much bigger stage in 3 years.

Many of them on the list are pulling in this video (MLA ranking decision matches, round robin). The stage in this video is where Cody Hadley's supermatches will take place.
