About Armwrestling Utrecht

Armwrestling Utrecht was founded in 2025 by Hein van Rooij in partnership with Base Community, with one clear mission: to build a central armwrestling community for the Utrecht region. It has since grown into one of the best places to armwrestle in the Netherlands.

This not only makes it easier for people in Utrecht to get into the sport, it also helps the Dutch armwrestling community grow as a whole. The club also organises large national trainings and other events.

Together with Base Community, Team Havermout, De Fysiofabriek and Armworstel Workshops, we create an accessible place where this fantastic sport can thrive.

I've been armwrestling since mid 2024 and fell in love almost immediately. All my training revolves around this game and would love to one day get comically strong.

Speed and side pressure.

Defence

After following the sport online for years, I joined the IRL community in 2024. Since then, I’ve been on an endless pursuit of strength through training, learning and teaching. I enjoy competing, but what really draws me in is the camaraderie around the table.

I started watching and following armwrestling in 2022, doing light training until 2025, when I fully locked in. My training right now is structured around armwrestling and overall upper body strength.
