Gunz of Steel is a female and non-binary arm-wrestling show that brings community together through a combination of empowerment and absurdity. We showcase strength through elaborate costumed personas that are created by volunteer participants. Each show features new and returning wrestling characters that are encouraged to take the stage and strut their stuff in a safe and supportive community of cheering audience members. In other words, everything is fake except for the wrestling.

The two women that head up Gunz of Steel are Erin Stellmon and Amanda Dice. Erin is a multimedia artist and educator that fell in love with Charm City 8 years ago. She brought her former competitive arm-wrestling chops from New York City to train a growing army of empowered folks here in Baltimore. Amanda comes from a community performance art background and enjoys enabling others to embrace their alter egos through costumed shenanigans.

Each Gunz of Steel event sponsors a different non-profit that supports women and/or LGBTQ persons in the Baltimore community. This June we are donating our proceeds to Baltimore Abortion Fund, a grassroots nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance and support to people receiving abortion care in Maryland.
