Miss out on the action last night but still want to see who will be representing D/CLAW in the nationals?
Here's video from the final round - Amy Smackhouse vs. Ms. Fire.

Amy Smackhouse wins the SuperBRAWL Championship!

Amy Smackhouse was the victorious lady arm wrestler last night and will be representing the D.C. Lady Arm Wrestlers in the national championship!
In the initial rounds, Smackhouse took down two seasoned arm wrestling veterans - Boudica and the Ohio Hacksaw - and the final round pitted her against Ms. Fire in an intense match. For the first time ever, the ladies competed at a stand-up arm wrestling table, which will be the way it's done at the national championship in Charlottesville, Va. in two weeks.

With a big thanks to both our great audience members and our wrestlers' entourages, D/CLAW raised approximately $3,800 for the the all-volunteer run Aleethia Foundation!
We'll be adding pictures and video of the championship shortly, so stay tuned!

For the June 2 SuperBRAWl, we've got a few more ladies eying a spot at the contender's table than we have spots at the table. So a competition is underway right now to see which of them can raise the most money before the event. Those who do, will earn themselves the right to go bicep to bicep against some of D/CLAWs former champions.

So what are you waiting for? Start betting!

SuperBRAWL!

On June 2 D/CLAW’s all-champion SuperBRAWL will determine the most bad ass lady arm wrestler in all of DC! The winner of our SuperBRAWL will represent DC at the first EVER national champion ship of lady arm wrestling leagues - the SuperCLAW - in Charlottesville, VA on June 16.
All proceeds from the SuperBRAWL will benefit the Aleethia Foundation an all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting newly injured service members with short-term therapeutic recreation.

WHEN: Saturday, June 2nd at 7:30 pm

WHERE: American Legion Post 8 on Capitol Hill—conveniently located a few blocks from Capitol South metro stop at 224 D Street, SE.

WHY: It's hilarious and you can feel good about raising money for charity! Plus the drinks are strong and cheap at the Legion!

HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME: Tickets $10 at the door and everyone is encouraged to bet on their favorite wrestler each round. The individual who bet the highest amount on the winning wrestler wins a prize that round. All the betting money goes to charity.

WHO IS THIS FOR: The Aleethia Foundation is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting newly injured service members with short-term therapeutic recreation, small financial grants, and other unmet needs. Their main focus is nurturing injured members emotional well-being by getting them out of the hospital for meals, movies, sightseeing, and visits to interesting sites. One of the Aleethia Foundations most popular activities is taking service members and their families out to enjoy a steak dinner every Friday night. Anyone who has had an extended stay in a hospital can appreciate how great it must be to get away from the hospital for a delicious meal!

WHO WILL BE WRESTLING: Five of our champions from previous matches, as well as three other previous contenders will battle for the right to compete at the June 2 event, will return to the wrestling table.

Our previous winners are:
Kelly Wood aka MOMMIE DEAREST 1st bout champion
Andrea Kavanagh aka AMY SMACKHOUSE, 2nd bout champion
Suzie Hough aka ARM & HAMMERED 3rd bout champion
Kristin Eliason aka EVE OF DESTRUCTION 5th bout champion
Tracie Anderson aka MS. FIRE 7th bout champion

Because SCARLETT O’SCARA (4th bout champion) and KENTUCKY DIRTY (6th bout champion) are unable to compete, prior competitors will duke it out for three slots in the championship rounds. They are:
Andrea Gonzalez aka THE SPANISH ARMADA
Eboni "THE EAST END ELIMINATOR" Robinson
Jennifer Chambers aka BOUDICA
Amy Baxter aka THE OHIO HACKSAW

So who are you placing your bets on?

The winner: Ms. Fire!

The winner of D/CLAW's seventh match up is Ms. Fire!
She took down both Bocce Balboa and The Ohio Hacksaw before moving on to the final round against fellow firefighter The East End Eliminator.



But firewoman against firewoman, Ms. Fire took the match.



Overall the night was a great success, with D/CLAWs great fans helping us to raise close to $3,500 for the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation.
Thanks again to our eight fantastic lady arm wrestlers and our fans. We can't do it without you!



And also a big thank you to our sponsors who provided prizes for the fans who bet the most money on the winning wrestler each round. They are: Rock Bottom Brewery, Fire Station 1 Restaurant, the Tilted Torch, and of course The American Legion Post 8.

Meet the Wrestlers: The East End Eliminator

This DC firefighter is bringing the heat in honor of D/CLAW's charity of the evening. Wrestling on behalf of the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation is Eboni, the East End Eliminator.

Meet the Wrestlers: Ms. Fire

As part of her firehouse duties, Ms. Fire enjoys demonstrating to the fine citizens of Arlington the dangers of sticking forks in outlets and lighting farts on fire. However at home she spends her time clogging, raising goats, and making homemade wine with the one man that stokes her fire, Captain Kindle. After retirement, she hopes to one day score a gig as a fire eater in a sideshow circus.
