Ok, boys, let's get down to some serious business on technique. I took a little internet trip over to Scott Gracia's site to check out Roy's articles, which I...
Dalmo What Ralph says is right. Ralph and I have slightly different methods to achieve similar throws, but although Ralph wont admit it, he throws as a...
Well, Roy its a matter of intelligence to "adjust"our way of playing (any game, tennis for example)as we get older. But I m sure you old Limey still have long...
HI, Ralph, its funny how you style is different, in spin throwing, as you surelly know, one dont have to use the wrist, or it will acelerate too much the...
Hello People! Roy, I have always been a dickhead so maybe I'll be the 'even' one since you've already got the 'odd' side wrapped up :-) And thanks a lot for...
I don't think I have any pics of my grandma with a banjo. She is in her mid nineties now and doesn't live next door to me anymore, having gone to live with my...
Dalmo, I use the same grip for the no spin regardless of range. I hold the knife with the plane of the blade vertical in my hand, so my thumb is against the...
Dalmo He He, I thought you would get muddled with Ralphs thumb position. I do the same as Ralph, not the same hold, but my same hold for all ranges. I simply...
Hi, Roy , I Also Learned (with YOU) this counterspin like move, for sure its not a real counter spin, but first time I did it right I tought I was becoming Mad...
HI, Ralph, I understood, I was just wondering what would happen If you put your thumb in the spine of the knife, not actually ading pressure, but for making a...
Dalmo, The way that I hold the knife for the overhand spinless throw, it would be impossible for me to put my thumb on the spine of the knife. My index finger...

Dalmo Forget the thumb on top grip for our throwing, it will do nothing except put your learning backaways. Its no use whatsoever, keep it for your spinning...
OK, Ralph, I believe the way you use for no spin throwing is the same I use (well, I actually use two ways,.one with the Index Grip, other with the Palm Grip,...
Dalmo, I have heard the palm throw described but have never seen it done, nor do I do it myself. I would be interested to hear your thoughts on comparing my...
HI, Ralph, Matt Rappaporth, the first organizer of the Thrower Group, had one site with all kind of grips and a Link to Bo-Shurikent throwing, if I found it I...
http://www.sonic.net/~quine/thrower.html This is Matts site, there you will find a lot of tips on throwing weapons, in the knife throwing link there is some...
Ralph I think Dalmos palm throw is not the palm throw that you have heard described as in throwing a knife with no spin. There is no comparrison as far as I...
Dalmo To throw spinless, you gotta get hold of the knife. Its near impossible to lob a knife spinless any real distance with a lob type throw. I can put...
Thanks for that link, Dalmo. I remember seeing that page a long time ago, before I wrote my book. As far as I know, the Russian martial artist, Vasilev, is...
Hi, Roy, Hi, Ralph I never saw this russian guy throwing, but I've been told by a friend that he saw a Japanese throw pretty decent throws from 16 and more...
Dalmo "Get hold of the knife" means what it says. The palm throw is really only laying the knife on your outstreached hand, and keeping it there with the...
Dalmo Ralph is right, something is wrong, OR you are trying to run before learning to walk. It is true Ralph likes his knives a little handle heavy, and I like...
Hi, Roy If I understood it right, youre talking about moving your arm forward as in "boxer"hit, instead of moving it in a curve, as I use in spins throw. Am I...
Dalmo, Try doing some no spin throws from at least twelve feet away and watch what happens. Then tell us why the knives are failing to stick in. That will help...
OK, Ralph, will try it and tell you - if I survive... Abraço Dalmo eralphthorn <thorn777@...> escreveu: Dalmo, Try doing some no spin throws from at...
