What will it give

Throwing knives - a good entertainment, an excellent organization of active leisure. This sport can be a complement to the game in laser tag, airsoft or paintball. You can sweep the knives in nature, resting from other activities, you can entertain an exciting spectacle of friends.

This sport, as well as other sports exercises, is very useful for health. Regular exercises have a beneficial effect on the musculoskeletal system and the body as a whole. Exercises that develop the accuracy of movements, positively affect the level of self-control, strengthen the nervous system and the general physical state.

In addition, a person who has been handling knives for a long time develops invaluable qualities. He becomes more confident in his abilities, attentive, acquires the ability to soberly assess the situation and quickly make informed decisions.

Secrets of throwing knives

The techniques of this sport are simple and quite accessible for mastering everyone. Success depends mainly on diligence and perseverance, a multi-hour periodic repetition of exercises, and not on the comprehension of some special secrets. But it is necessary to master certain general knowledge.

The target for throwing knives is usually arranged from the end part of a wooden post or a thick board, a plane directed towards the thrower. Ideal for this purpose are pillars of poplar, linden, birch. For the competition, parts of wooden beams with an end facing the thrower are adjusted to each other, standard targets are mounted on such shields, with parameters set by the instruction.

There are no special secrets in the educational process. The main principles of training are dedication, attentiveness and certain physical data.

Training represents actions aimed at the implementation of a pre-planned throwing plan, which is prepared by the learner himself, depending on his goal.

The training plan is simple. Usually it consists of several items:

• Exercises for training breathing, its coordination with the phases of the throw;
• Working out the throwing strength;
• Working out the position and movements of the body and legs;
• Working out the movements of the hand, hand, palm;
• Focusing on the goal;
• Working out standard positions at different distances to the target and with knives having different dimensions:

A) at a two-meter distance - throw the middle knife, a break of 10 seconds;

B) at a three-meter distance - throw a large knife, a break of 15 seconds;

C) at a distance of 1.5 meters - throw a small knife, break for 10 seconds. - etc.

About the diversity of techniques

There is a great variety of throwing techniques that differ:

• Type of grip (with three fingers behind the plane, behind the shoe, the end of the handle or blade, directly behind the handle or blade);
• Method of throwing (negotiable, non-negotiable, half-turn);
• Way of throwing (from below, from above, to the case from the side, from the body from the side).

The above techniques can be combined with each other, depending on the convenience and expediency.

Irresponsible throwing knife

Many masters consider this technique to be the most effective. For training is not required a long time, the rotation of the knife is compensated by the movement of the brush, due to which the knife in flight flips and stabs into the target.

Wave-throwing (wave) throwing knives master recommended to produce in this sequence:

• Right hand and turn left;
• On the edge of the palm with a hilt from itself put a knife;
• To balance the condition of the blade (at the point where the blade and the handle meet) and take the knife for the blade;
• When making a swing, the knife must describe the semicircle, and the blade - turn over to the side of the object;
• A small throwing range is usually assumed, which directly depends on the applied force; A stronger swing suggests a greater distance of the knife's flight without its overturn.

About inertial-wave throwing

A new qualitative leap in this sport was the non-negotiable inertial wave technique of throwing-scans, developed during many years of practical research.

Throwing knives on this system (complex attacking system of hand-to-hand combat) provides for special training of the body for performing unusual and complex movements, a significant increase in the variety of motor potential, speed and force of strikes, the ability to strike the enemy out of the most unexpected positions.

For the training of muscles and ligaments in the system of scans there is a special preparatory program aimed at the development of flexibility, plasticity.

Certain methods of the system develop the ability to distribute attention, providing the opportunity to combine several actions simultaneously with success. The fighter trains the ability to produce simultaneously heterogeneous, asynchronous, multi-phase movements, develops non-standard logic of actions, which means unexpected behavior for the enemy in combat.

Wave technique provides for the development of skills with a small mass of the body to produce effective strikes, ensuring effective defeat of the enemy.

What should be the throwing knife

On specialized sites there are many recommendations of craftsmen who prefer to make knives for throwing their own hands. What are the optimal parameters of the missile weapon?

A knife is a functional object that does not need ornaments. Sooner or later it will get lost, due to the specifics of its application, so it should be easily replaced.

Contrary to the claims of adherents of dark matte knives, the surface of the throwing knife should be light and slightly polished, allowing to trace the flight of the gun that passed by and not lose it in the grass. This is easy to do if the knife is light and shiny.

The blade and the handle must have the same thickness, this will ensure the uniformity of the throw:

• Blade forward (holding the handle, in close combat from a distance of up to two meters);
• In full turnover (from a distance of up to 8 m);
• The handle forward (holding the blade, half a turn, from a distance of 3-6 m).

The handle should have a smooth surface and with a coefficient of friction and thickness correspond to the blade. The thickness of the blade 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.

In the knives for throwing, it is undesirable to have holes in the handle and guard, since they will make it difficult to slide, to cling to the fingers at the time of release, which will impede concentration and adversely affect the trajectory of the throw.

The optimum width of the blade should be 30.5 mm, and the handle - 20 mm. It is recommended that the blade be given a one-sided grinding, this will prevent the palm from cutting at the throw.

In the throwing knife, the point is located closer to the butt, and not to the center. The upper edge should not be strongly sharpened, the bottom should be sharpened well. 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 blade or 1-1.5 cm further. At a throw around the center of gravity there is a rotation.

To facilitate balancing, knives with shifting weights are made.

The balance that is shifted toward the hilt can be considered optimal. This allows you to quickly change the position of the weapon, if necessary, use the throwing knife as a combat weapon.

How to make weapons for throwing yourself

Those who for the first time decided to make knives for throwing their own hands, you should familiarize yourself with the technology of the process on specialized sites.

They are usually made of light and resilient types of carbon steel. Instrumental and alloy steel is also suitable. For manufacturing, a forged car spring or engine valve is suitable.

The design of the weapon is simple. On the handle, which is recommended to make of duralumin plates, there should be no foreign materials, except for weights and cord. The former are needed to regulate the distance of the throw, the second is necessary in order to pull the knife back.

For work, emery is needed, which is used to mark out the contour and rasp. After the marking is done, the workpiece is subjected to roughing - it is given the necessary shape. Then, with the help of rasp, sharpening and grinding "adjust" hard-to-reach places. For grinding a special grinding wheel is used, supplemented by hand- grinding with sandpaper and polishing paste.

Knife models for throwing known a lot. If desired, you can create for yourself a whole collection. Certain technologies make it possible to turn a battle throwing knife into a real work of art.

Nevertheless, it must be remembered that these weapons are intended for one-time use.

Therefore, the main criteria by which it is evaluated are the effectiveness of throwing, the optimal damaging qualities, the ease of disguise that provides the suddenness of use, and the affordable cost.
