method, wich can be used for any distance   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2510 of 3138 |
Hello
At first i want to apologize about my poor english. I'm from Germany. I hope
you'll be able to understand what I want to tell you:

I have always been throwing my knife using the traditional Hammer-Grip-Method
(same movement, wich works only on an special distance with a special knife)
However my purpose is now, to learn a method wich is independent from the
distance. But i don't know for sure, how this should work. My problem in getting
information is, that every site or book tells me something completly different
and I don't know who's right and who's wrong. Everybody seems to preach his
method as "the one and only".

As far as I could follow, there seem to be two basic-methods to reach my
purpose:

- NO SPIN (no rotation, also known as "quater spin" or "spear throw") To execute
this method there are some different ways like this one:
http://www.knifethrowing.info/wave-throw.html or this one:
http://www.throwzini.com/no-spin-technique.html

- HALF SPIN (always throw a half rotation, wich must be slowed down, if the
target is far away. see http://www.throwzini.com/half-spin-technique.html

Was that correct? Do you have anything to add?

Well, now I want to ask you for your opinion: wich of them is the best to learn
and wich of them works best? Also I'd like to hear what you think about the
mentioned links. Furthermore I'd be glad if someone could give me any
Links/How-tos/videos/personal opinions/field report concerning this issue.
(Im also accessible via icq: 224-495-175)

Thanks a lot for reading!

German guy, Sorry you left no name. Leave aside all of the methods that you have read, they will only confuse and make it impossible to understand. Joes...
