Beginner FAQ

Do I need experience?

No. Come to a practice and we will show you the grip, the stance and the basics.

Is it dangerous?

Done with proper technique and a referee, it is a safe sport. The main danger is a sudden twisting force on a tired arm, so warm up, pull against someone your size, and say stop if anything feels wrong. Read how to join.

Can women pull?

Yes. Many events have women’s divisions, and women train with us.
