The two thumbs fight like humans, ducting, striking and launching sudden attacks to pin the opponent. Both players are required to show sportsmanship and not to cause any infringement that might spoil the fun of the game. Thumb wrestling is a source of entertainment among people of all ages, it can be played anytime and anywhere, so winning the game is not the mere object of this game.
Professional matches are supervised by the referees who ensure that no player uses any unfair means against his opponent to gain advantage over his opponent. The tournament is getting popular and better by every passing year. Wrestlers go by names like Vini Vidi Victory, Mr. Extremo and Wasabi.
And of course, competitive thumb wrestling is a thing. Oscar Villalon, former San Francisco Chronicle books editor, once won three years in a row and wrote the book The Way of the Thumb about the experience. It not only comes with finger-sized sabers, but with a book of background scenes. And when you get bored of thumb wrestling altogether, perhaps it will be time to move on to … toe wrestling. A stabilizing handle 10 comprised of a grip 12 and a threaded male tip 14 is fastened to the bottom of game ring surface 16 at handle mount A threaded female tip holder 20 in handle mount 18 receives tip The outside diameter of mount 18 is equal to the diameter of grip 12 so as to create a single columnar structure suitable for grasping by opponents when fully assembled.
In other embodiments of my invention, the stabilizing handle may be fastened to the bottom of the game ring surface by other means, such as by the use of a screw or tack driven through the top of the game ring surface into the stabilizing handle, or by the use of other coupling devices formed by such methods as machining or extrusion. In addition, the stabilizing handle and game ring surface may comprise a solid piece of material created by such means as extrusion.
As seen in FIGS. Thumb holes 22 are separated by a solid wrestling region Four corner posts 26 at the corners of game ring surface 16 each include two notches 28 for receiving elastic bands 30 which are stretched around posts 26 and held in place parallel to game ring surface Elastic bands 30 may be made from various materials including rubber, fabric-coated rubber and other natural or synthetic materials.
From the description above, a number of advantages of my invention become evident:. If the invention is unassembled as shown in FIG. Play is initiated by one player who firmly curls his or her index, middle, ring and pinky fingers 32 around stabilizing handle 10 and inserts thumb 34 upwardly though thumb hole A second player then firmly curls his or her fingers 32 around both stabilizing handle 10 and the first player's curled fingers 32 and inserts thumb 34 upwardly through opposite thumb hole When fully assembled and gripped as shown in FIG.
During competition, each player manipulates his or her thumb 34, attempting to trap and hold down the opposing thumb 34 upon solid wrestling region 24 for a previously agreed-upon count. The match ends when a pin in the manner described above is achieved.
