Best training advice:
Table training is the only training
Arm wrestlers that inspire you
There are a lot of them, but my favourite is definitely John
Brzenk and all of the armwrestlers who lose every match but
still keep coming back.
What changes would you like to see in this sport?
Definitely Olympics and would like if teams can go overseas with
sponsors. Would also like to see our Pro side in South Africa
grow like WWF overseas.
Miscellaneous:
You will have to speak to me to find out.
Pull Charity Events to raise
funds for children with special needs and the underprivileged.
In 2011 we raised R15,000
for
Pathways Naboom, after I pulled
over 200 member of the public at the Windpompfees in
Naboomspruit.
