Knife Throwing Secrets
The techniques of this sport are simple and quiteavailable for anyone to learn. Success depends mainly on diligence and perseverance, long-term periodic repetition of exercises, and not on the attainment of some special secrets. But mastering certain general knowledge is carried away by throwing around.
Мишень для метания ножей обычно устраивают из the end of the wooden pillar or thick board, the plane directed to the thrower. Ideal for this purpose are the pillars of poplar, linden, birch. For competitions, parts of wooden beams with an end face directed to the thrower are adjusted to each other, on such shields are mounted standard targets, with the parameters set by the instruction.
There are no special secrets in the educational process. The basic principles of learning are determined dedication, attentiveness and certain physical data.
Training is an action aimed at the implementation of a pre-planned throwing plan, which is prepared by the students themselves, depending on its purpose.
The workout plan is simple. Usually it consists of several points:
- exercises for training breathing, its coordination with the phases of the throw;
- practicing throw strength;
- working out the position and movements of the body and legs;
- practicing hand, wrist, palm movements;
- practicing focus on the goal;
- practicing standard positions at different distances to the target and with knives that have different dimensions:
a) at a two-meter distance - throwing a middle knife, a break of 10 seconds;
b) at a three-meter distance - throwing a large knife, a break of 15 seconds;
c) on a one and a half meter distance - throwing a small knife, a break of 10 seconds. - etc.
About the variety of techniques
There is a wide variety of throwing techniques that differ:
- type of grip (three fingers for the plane, for the butt, for the end of the handle or the blade, directly for the handle or the blade);
- throwing method (negotiable, non-negotiable, in a half-turn);
- method of throwing (bottom, top, to the body on the side, from the body on the side).
These techniques can be combined with each other, depending on convenience and expediency.
Non-throwing knife throwing
Many masters consider this technique the mosteffective. Training does not require a long time, the rotation of the knife is compensated by the movement of the brush, thanks to which the knife in flight flips over and plunges into the target.
The master recommends to produce the non-current (wave) throwing of knives in the following sequence:
- right hand and turn left;
- on the edge of the palm handle put a knife;
- balance the state of the blade (at the point where the blade and the hilt converge) and take the knife by the blade;
- when making a swing, the knife should describe a semicircle, and the blade should roll over towards the object;
- a small throwing distance is usually assumed, which directly depends on the applied force; a stronger swing implies a greater distance of the knife’s flight without a coup.
On the inertial-wave throwing
A new qualitative leap in this sport was developed in the course of many years of practical research non-recourse inertial-wave throwing technique - scan.
Throwing knives on this system (integratedattacking hand-to-hand combat system) provides special training for the body to perform non-standard and complex movements, a significant increase in the diversity of motor potential, speed and strength of strikes, the ability to strike the enemy from the most unexpected positions.
For training the muscles and ligaments in the system skanf there is a special preparatory program aimed at the development of flexibility, plasticity.
Certain methods of the system developsthe ability to distribute attention, providing the ability to simultaneously combine several actions with success. A fighter trains the ability to simultaneously produce heterogeneous, asynchronous, multi-phase movements, develops non-standard logic of actions, and therefore, unexpected behavior for the enemy in battle.
Wave technology provides for the development of skills with a small body mass to produce effective blows that ensure effective defeat of the enemy.
What should be a throwing knife
The specialized sites contain many recommendations of craftsmen who prefer to make knives for throwing with their own hands. What are the optimal parameters for throwing weapons?
A knife is a functional item that does not need jewelry. Sooner or later it will get lost, due to the specifics of its use, so it should be easy to replace.
Contrary to the claims of dark matt followersknives, the surface of the throwing knife should be light and slightly polished, allowing you to trace the flight of the instrument that flew past the target and not lose it in the grass. This is easy to do if the knife is bright and shiny.
The blade and handle should be of the same thickness, this will ensure uniformity of the throw:
- blade forward (holding the handle in melee from a distance of two meters);
- full turn (from a distance up to 8 m);
- handle forward (holding the blade, in a half-turn, from a distance of 3-6 m).
The handle should have a smooth surface andfriction coefficient and thickness to match the blade. The blade thickness should be 4-6 mm, length - 150-160 mm, the handle should be 9.5–19.5 cm long, the total length of the weapon - up to 26.5 cm.
Knives for throwing undesirable presenceholes in the handles and guards, as they will impede sliding, clinging to the fingers at the moment of release, which will prevent concentration and will negatively affect the throwing path.
The optimum width of the blade should be 30.5 mm, and the handle - 20 mm. It is recommended to give the blade a one-sided sharpening, this will protect the palm from cuts when throwing.
In the throwing knife the tip is located closer tobutt, not centered. The upper edge should not be much sharpened, the bottom should be well sharpened. This will allow her to easily enter the target. The center of gravity of the weapon is located on the border of the handle and the blade or 1-1.5 cm further. When throwing around the center of gravity, a rotation occurs.
To facilitate balancing make knives with shifting weights.
The balance can be considered optimal, shifted towards the handle. This allows you to quickly change the position of the weapon, if necessary, use the throwing knife as a combat one.
How to make weapons for throwing
Those who first decided to make knives for throwing with their own hands should be familiarized with the process technology on specialized sites.
They are usually made from light and elastic species.carbon steel. Tool and alloy steel is also suitable. For the manufacture of suitable forged automotive spring or engine valve.
Конструкция оружия является несложной.On the handle, which is recommended to be made of duralumin plates, there should not be any foreign materials, except weights and cord. The first are needed to regulate the throw distance, the second is needed in order to pull the knife back.
Для работы необходим наждак, которым производится contour marking and rasps. After the marking is done, the workpiece is subjected to roughing - it is given the necessary shape. Then, with the help of a rasp, sharpening and grinding, they “customize” hard-to-reach places. For grinding, use a special grinding wheel, supplement it with manual processing using emery paper and polishing paste.
Knife throwing models are well known.lots of. If you wish, you can create a whole collection for yourself. Certain technologies make it possible to turn a combat throwing knife into a real work of art.
However, it must be remembered that these weapons are designed for one-time use.
Therefore, the main criteria by which it is evaluated are throwing efficiency, optimum damaging qualities, ease of masking, ensuring sudden use, and affordable cost.
