I hope 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: it opened your eyes too, to the awesomeness of knife throwing. Enjoy. 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I 8 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: There's Charles Chuck Bryant, and there's this stuff you should 10 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: all right, this bears some explanation. So I was doing 11 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: my Stevie from Malcolm in the Middle of Impression, which 12 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: one is Stevie. He was the kid in the wheelchair 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: who's like breathed like that, who talked like that because 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: he he had serious asthma. Yeah, he remember him. Was 15 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: he just like a classmate? Yeah? He was like his 16 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: best friend, I believe I remember. I like, I like 17 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: that show that. Yeah, well that's not what I was doing. Really. No, 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: we're slightly out of breath because we just had a 19 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: fire alarm. Yeah, we had to walk down four stairs 20 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: four flights of stairs and not like this, the one, 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: the kind of flight where it's like down, landing down again, 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: the two flights. Yeah, so we walked down eight flights 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: of stairs and then walked back eight more. Right when 24 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: we got down, stopped and immediately turned around to go 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: back in. It was ridiculous. It was the kind of 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: thing that makes you say, maybe I will only next time. 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: It was a fire alarm. I was prepared to hide 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: in the studio and keep working. Yeah, we thought about it, 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: but there's a fire marshal who works here, so you 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: can't can't run a foul him. Man, he got on 31 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: that orange best quick changes everything. So I ever heard 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: of those guys that sneak into places with those vests? Yes, 33 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I have, I don't is there a name for what 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: I think these?

Amost, if you 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: have orange vest on, you look like you're supposed to 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: be there.

Very much? Good? All right, 93 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about knife throwing. So I'm a little psyched 94 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: about this because knife throwing taps into my ninja training 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: that I did under Tommy Roper as I'm sure I've 96 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: mentioned before, uh reading about this researching it. I never 97 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: threw knives. We never made it that far, and maybe 98 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: now I'll be I'll be hang gliding throwing knives at 99 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: the same time. I'm going to get into both at once. 100 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: But I did a little throwing star stuff. Throwing star 101 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: is like the dummies, Uh, knife throwing because that thing 102 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: always sticks, right, Yeah, I mean, depending on how many 103 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: spikes you got coming off of it, and how many 104 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: beers you've had, um, and and whether the tree is 105 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: actually like a metal pole or not, you're probably gonna 106 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: stick a throwing star. Throwing a knife is an entirely 107 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: different endeavor, and it's something that anybody can do. That 108 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: Nicholas Jerbis or Gervous never met him yet. Um, he 109 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: points out, this is actually kind of like a low 110 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: hanging hobby that you could. You can get a set 111 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: of knives for ten fifteen bucks apiece. You probably one 112 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: about five is well, we'll explain why, um, maybe six. 113 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: You just practice, get yourself a good block of wood, 114 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: and practice, and anybody can do this. It's not like 115 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: you're born to throw knives. You practice and if you 116 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: like it, you keep going and you just get better 117 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: and better at it, and you can impress your friends 118 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and neighbors. Yes, and here's the point in the show 119 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: where we issue our c o A. Kids, if you're 120 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: out there, do not go get a steak knife from 121 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: your drawer and start throwing it at your dog. That 122 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: is not a throwing knife. And never throw anything at 123 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: your dog. Kids, I will come find you. Yeah, never 124 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: throw anything at anybody that's sharp. But um, throwing knives 125 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: are built to throw. They're weighted and balanced to throw. 126 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: They're not like regular old knives. And we'll get into 127 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: all that. But just if you really want to try 128 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: throwing knives, go ask mom and dad or Tommy Roper 129 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: and get ready, get ready for a no, and then 130 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: and then play them this podcast where it is an 131 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: actual um circus art. And please, for the love of God, 132 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: tell me this is the last one. I don't think 133 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: of the circus arts. No, it's not. What else is? 134 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: There's a bunch we've done the Globe of Death, flame 135 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: swallowing lions, aiming swords, swallowing sword swallowing. H we did 136 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: circus families, just straight up circus families. Human cannonball has 137 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: got to be it. I don't think so, man. I 138 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: think it's going to keep going into clouns clowns for sure. Yeah, um, 139 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: they haven't. Don't want to p T Barnum though, No, 140 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: you mean Hugh Jackman, what is it, Chuck Stradomas, I 141 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: don't know something like that. I make one lucky casting 142 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: call predict, one sexual predator and one bad Lifetime movie 143 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: or what what was shark Nato sci fi sci fi movie? 144 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Three Little Things? That's all. That doesn't make me Nuxtra 145 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Domans haven't won the lottery yet. I think of all 146 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: the things I have said that didn't come true right 147 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: way more. Yeah, I guess that's true. You know, yeah, 148 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: whatever writes in and well that didn't happen, right, you 149 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: really got that. Actually, they do right in to tell 150 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: us we got stuff wrong a lot. That's so we're 151 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: gonna take this seriously because we want you ten year 152 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: olds out there who want to get your parents to 153 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: let you do this, to to see that you're taking 154 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: this seriously by listening to this podcast. First. Okay, that's right. 155 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: So what we're talking about specifically is known as uh 156 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: somewhat ironically as an impalement act um, which is really 157 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: weird thing to call it. It's well, it's um, yeah, 158 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: it really is. I think it's a little tongue in cheek, 159 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: you think, because the point is to not right, The 160 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: point is to not impale somebody with this kind of thing, right, 161 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: that's right. And and impalement acts are an umbrella term 162 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: that cover not just knife throwing but bull whip cracking, oh, shoot, 163 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: sharp shooting, archery, William tell kind of thing. All of 164 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: those fall under the the umbrella term of impalement acts. 165 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: Jerry's undressing over there to our left, she got very 166 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: hot in the fire drop. Um. All right, so this 167 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: goes back if we can get back on the way 168 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: back machine, Um, all the way back to the late 169 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: nineteenth century. We to go back here further than that. 170 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: Are you gonna go like to ancient times? No? No, 171 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: We'll still will just go to the nineteenth century because 172 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure Chinese people in ancient times through stuff that's 173 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: stuck in walls. Well, I looked at I looked up 174 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: the oldest knife and started everything. Apparently they did. Apparently 175 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: they found the oldest knife five thousand years ago. Oh, 176 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: the oldest knife knife. So we've been using knives longer 177 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: than there have been modern humans, yeah, for sure. And 178 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: then we at some point, probably about four hundred and 179 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: ninety nine thousand years ago, we started throwing knives because 180 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: it's stabbing is okay, but throwing a knife is when 181 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: you really can come to appreciate what a knife does, okay, 182 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: And there was nothing better in it, like an eighties movie. 183 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Then when like James Bond through a knife and I 184 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: got a guy or American ninja. That's what I was 185 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: trained on. Um. All right, so wild uh wild West shows, 186 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill and his Wild West Shows travel throughout the 187 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: United States, throughout Europe. Um knife throwing became a big 188 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: spectacle at things like this, as well as obviously sharp 189 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: shooting and ye probably archery. They probably did all the 190 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,959 Speaker 1: impalement arts. They definitely did um and they really brought 191 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: it to the world, um to the to the point 192 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: where you can just basically say that's where it started, 193 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: was Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Yeah. And this is 194 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: one of those things where, through a modern lens, it 195 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: it is incredibly misogynistic to think about the fact that 196 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: you say, hey, let me take a scantily clad woman, 197 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: a target girl, yeah that's what they call him, a 198 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: target girl, and throw knives at her. Yeah, just stand there, 199 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: throw knives near her. It's always a lady. She's always 200 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: got on like a bikini or something. She's just like 201 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: almost like wild West steampunk renaissance fair thing, right, you know, 202 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: just to cover all of the all of the geek 203 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: boys dreams and desires. Right, But when you look at 204 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: it to the modern lens, it's like, man, that that 205 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: is totally misogynistic to Uh, that is the act. Um, 206 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: it's got a burlesque thing going on. Yeah sure, I 207 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: mean you can see what they're trying to do is 208 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: is toillate to the young boys in the audience. They're 209 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: trying to sell tickets, and it probably wouldn't have sold 210 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: as many tickets if they just had build a farmhand 211 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: with a balloon in his mouth getting popped, you know. 212 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's still pretty cool. You're still seeing the 213 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: same thing. But yeah, it's just basically tradition and customed 214 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: to have a scantily clad woman as your target girl. Again, 215 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: that's what they call him, is the target girl, and 216 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: that is the one of the two people involved in 217 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: this impalement act. That's right. Um, we mentioned the balloon 218 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: in the mouth. That was one of the big tricks. 219 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: There was a German husband and wife named the Gibsons 220 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: who introduced the very famous wheel of death in at 221 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: the Ringling Brothers show at in Madison Square Garden. Have 222 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: you seen this? Oh yeah, okay, So I had seen 223 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: stuff like with knife throwing before, and I thought Flee 224 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: Circus was another one. Do you remember our Flee Circus 225 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: episode where it turns out that Flee Circus has actually 226 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: involved real fleas. That was the best of the circus arts, 227 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: and everybody thought it was like, no, it's magnets or 228 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: just your imagination power of suggestion, and that's just not 229 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: the case. The same thing applies to knife throwing impalement acts. 230 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: Like I always thought, did you really? Yeah? I thought 231 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: I think there was like a Happy Days or something 232 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: like that where somebody gets volunteered. There's definitely an I 233 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: Love Lucy with a knife act where she's the target girl. 234 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: But there's some show where maybe Laverne and surely not 235 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: I think about it. Anyway, the guys throwing them and 236 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: like the knives are coming out of the backboard around them, 237 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: So it's all an illusion, right, That is not true. 238 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: In knife acts, you're if you're the target girl, a 239 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: dude is throwing twelve inch long, extremely sharp, pointy knives 240 00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: right at your head and it's trying to get his 241 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: close as possible to you without hitting you. And again 242 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: it's not just that's just the profile where they're throwing 243 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: knives around you and making like a chalk outline of 244 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: your of your body. That's the profile. But there's other ones, 245 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: like holding a cigarette in your mouth and knocking the 246 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: ash off with a knife, or you're holding a flower 247 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: in your mouth and they slowly like cut the stem 248 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: off piece by piece. There's some some pretty interesting things 249 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: that people have done with knife acts. Yeah, sometimes, and 250 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: this is the riskiest of all moves. Riskier even more 251 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: so than the Wheel of death is when they do 252 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: the and they covered the target over with paper. Yeah, 253 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: the veiled wheel of death, so you can't even see 254 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: that spinning who is behind there? You just have to 255 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: have it timed completely perfectly right. But if you take 256 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: a step back and think about this, there is nothing 257 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: about that act that should allow you to say, oh, 258 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: if I throw like this, I will I will miss 259 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: the person because they're spinning, so you have to know 260 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: where their body is at every second. But you've taken 261 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: away how you know that, which is your vision because 262 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: they're behind a big sheet of paper that you're throwing 263 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: knives through. And there's this guy who will talk about 264 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: it a little further. His name is the Great throw Denie. 265 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: I love this guy. Uh he he has done something. 266 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: It's probably the most dangerous, most impressive knife throwing act 267 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: anyone's ever done. He did the veiled wheel of death 268 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: with two target girls on it. So he has two 269 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: girls strapped to a board, spinning behind a big piece 270 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: of paper that he can't see them through, and he's 271 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: throwing knives at them. Yes, very fast. The guy threw 272 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: him on an average of a knife every point five 273 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: nine seconds, UM, and he didn't hit either one of them. Amazing. 274 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: It is amazing. It's so amazing. I think we should 275 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: take a break and re regroup. We're back. We just 276 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: watched uh one hour of grade thirteen even videos. Uh. 277 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: He apparently caught on like in its fifties. Yeah. I 278 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: was like, hey, I'm pretty good at this. Back in 279 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: just I guess somebody was like, maybe have you tried 280 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: throwing knives? And he said no, I haven't, And they 281 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: were like, well, tried throwing knives and he said, well, fine, 282 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: I will. A couple of weeks later, he tried throwing 283 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: knives and he said I really like this. Um. He 284 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: said it felt natural and right. So he started throwing 285 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: knives and entered competitions and UM started winning. I think 286 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: he became world champion. With him like two years he 287 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: beat the other four people. Uh, and then he said, 288 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: you know what, this is fun and all like these competitions, 289 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: but I think I want to try and act like 290 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: an old throwback impalement act. So we started one when 291 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 1: by tuxedo and basically bought his wife Barbara target girl. 292 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: Get up that his uh target girl one of them. Yeah, 293 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: I think she may have been the original one. Uh. 294 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: Taught her to smoke cigarettes so he could knock the 295 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: ash off of the end of him. And there you go. 296 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: Impalement act achieved. But not only that, Chuck like the 297 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: guy is like legitimately the best knife thrower on the planet. Well, 298 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: he's one of them. He holds a record for fastest. 299 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: But boy, you go down a YouTube rabbit hole and 300 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: to like people like Ralph Thorne and better than Great Thordini. Huh, 301 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: well Great Thordini does the impalement act as in the 302 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: Circus art. Ralph Thorn is like, if you're running through 303 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: the woods chasing somebody, I haven't seen this guy and 304 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: this is well that's the Thorn style. We'll get into 305 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: those styles later, okay, but um yeah, he will like 306 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: bunch himself off of a tree stump in the air 307 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and throwing behind his back. And see now that's basically 308 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: the training I was. Yeah, yeah, like martial arts, real world, 309 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: suburban neighborhood dangers. There's a raccoon. Oh no, no, no, no, 310 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: you're not throwing a raccoons. Um, alright, so the raccoon 311 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: comes at me. Well sure, okay, Um, here's what you 312 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: need if you if you're gonna throw a knife, you 313 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: need a throwing knife. Throwing knife. Like I said, it's 314 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: not a steak knife. It is very much made to 315 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: be thrown. It is balanced so that you throw it. 316 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: And we'll talk about the different ways that they're balanced. 317 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: But one thing they're not is sharp on the sides. 318 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: Yeah they're very pointy, but um they're dull on the 319 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: edges because you're gonna a lot of times to be 320 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: throwing it by that blade. Um, so get a knife 321 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: for throwing. The old saying, Um, sharp of point, sharper 322 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: point is the point, sharp of edge? It doesn't It 323 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: does you no good? That old Yeah, that's a great thing. 324 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: Like that should go on a T shirt. You should so. Um, yeah, 325 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: you want a sharp point. But there's there's nothing about 326 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: a sharp edge that's going to help you in any way, 327 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: shape or form, because the whole point again is the 328 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: point that's gonna stick into that end of whatever that 329 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: target is, which is usually a block of wood. Right. So, um, 330 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: depending on where how you're going to throw it, you 331 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: want to throw the heavy end first. And there's a 332 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: reason for this. The reason is is that, if you 333 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: want to get technical about it, velocity equals um distance 334 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: divided by time, right. And when you're throwing a knife, 335 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: especially the heavy end first, the heavy end has traveled 336 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: a further distance in the same amount of time than 337 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: the lighter end. This friends creates something very parting a 338 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: knife throwing, although not fundamental, which is spin. Okay, And 339 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: so if you throw the throw the knife, you're gonna 340 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: throw it either blade end or handle end. And the 341 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: end regards what you're holding when you throw it. And 342 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: if you're holding say a knife handle, and you're throwing 343 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: it from the handle end, you're the front of the knife. 344 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: The point is going to be weighted. It's going to 345 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: be heavier so that that starts the spin. If you're 346 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: throwing it blade first, the handle itself will be heavier 347 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: so that will start the spin. And there's a couple 348 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: of different depending on which way you're throwing. There's a 349 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: the spin is going to take place over this the 350 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: course of um a very short distance actually, and so 351 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: let me let me just back up a second here. 352 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: There's there's some factors involved. Okay. They are distanced to target, 353 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: length of NiFe, weight and balance and then knife type. Right, 354 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: So the distance the target is going to is going 355 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: to tell you what type of throw you want. That's right. Um, 356 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: the kind of knife. Uh, they say, for every good 357 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: rule of thumb here, just throw it out. But they 358 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: do mention a rule of thumb regardless. That says a 359 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: blade that weighs about one ounce per inch, so in 360 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: this per inch of your the whole knife. Yeah, so um, 361 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: they shouldn't. Well, you can throw it ever you want, 362 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: but ten to sixteen ounces is a good starter knife, uh, 363 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, and about that long or maybe twelve to 364 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: four fourteen inches and about that many ounces is where 365 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: you want to start off as a beginner. And all 366 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: kinds of shapes too, Like some of them are like 367 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: little spears. Uh, some have multiple points more like throwing stars. Uh. 368 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: They really run the gamut right and the um. So 369 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: depending on how you're gonna throw, whether it's a handle 370 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: throw or a blade throw. The weight of the knife 371 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: is going to be either in the handle or the blade. 372 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: It's going to be the opposite of where you're holding 373 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: the knife. Um. And if you throw holding the blade, 374 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: you're going to throw a half turn. It's a half 375 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: turn throw right. And the reason they call it that 376 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: is because the knife only makes one half turn. The 377 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: blade straightens out from your hand toward the target, and 378 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: then that's the only turn it makes. Yeah, it's not 379 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: like in the movies a lot of times you'll see 380 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: you go right and turn like nine times and stick 381 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: the guy in the forehead. That's really not what you're 382 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: doing with knife throwing. No, it's basically if you if 383 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: you're throwing it by the blade, it's gonna make one 384 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: half turn and that's it. So you if your blade throwing, 385 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: you would stand closest to the target, right, So if 386 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: some guys coming at you dressed as a raccoon and 387 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna hurt you and you can throw 388 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: a knife and he's real close, you would throw by 389 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: the blade. That's right. Uh. And in fact, I don't 390 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: even know if it's possible bowl to throw a knife 391 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: like they do in the movies that I don't think 392 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: so just tumbles because every video I saw there, like 393 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: you try and prevent tumbling as much as you can, 394 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: Like that's the whole game. It's too because physics says 395 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: that a revolving object that suddenly breaks free will continue 396 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: to move in a straight line tangential to the point 397 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: at which it's released. In other words, that release points 398 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: a little tricky. You know, you gotta dial that in. 399 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: But we'll get to that too. And on the actual 400 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: throwing right, um, so the uh. The next the next 401 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: furthest away from the target is if you're holding the 402 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: the knife by the handle and you're throwing it, it's 403 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 1: going to make that's a full turn, full spin uh, 404 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: to where the blade goes from facing the target, facing 405 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: away from the target, and back to facing the target 406 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: in time to stick into that target and not embarrassing 407 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: he bounce off because it hit the blade or the 408 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: handle first. But it's very humiliating, so humility. Uh. And 409 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: then the last one is the furthest thrown away And 410 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: it's about the most you would ever want a blade 411 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: to turn, which is two times. That's about thirty ft 412 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: or about ten meters away from your target. You could 413 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 1: possibly get it to spin twice, but usually you just 414 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: wanted to spin once or half and that's it. Yeah, 415 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: And uh, did you say a half turns about seven 416 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: or eight feet. I don't think I did. I just 417 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: said it was the closest. Yeah, about seven or eight feet. 418 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: It depends full spin about twelve to fifteen And like 419 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: you said, the the great throw Dni double Bondini double 420 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: twist is up to Yeah. Although one of these other 421 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: throws that we're gonna get into, this thorn throw. One 422 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: of the benefits is you can throw from anywhere, supposedly. 423 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: So we're gonna take one more break and then we're 424 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: gonna come back and teach you a little bit about 425 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: throwing and then, uh, what to look for in a 426 00:24:53,160 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: good knife. Okay, so you've got you know about how 427 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: close you want to stay into the target, depending on 428 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,719 Speaker 1: whether you're holding the knife by the blade or the handle. 429 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: The good thing is is there are a couple of 430 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: different grips, but they're very similar. So if you're like, 431 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: I want to get into blade throwing first because that 432 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: looks pretty cool, you're going to basically pinch the blade 433 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: of the knife and remember these are not sharp edges, 434 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: so you should be fine if you do. If you 435 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: I saw, if you are using a sharp edge knife, 436 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 1: you want to hold the blunt end. But you don't 437 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: want to do that. You don't even want to do that, 438 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: so so it doesn't really matter which way you're holding it. 439 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: But if you if it is sharp on what edge, 440 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: hold the other edge and you're just basically pinching it 441 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: between your your thumb and your first three fingers just 442 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: a little pitch. Yeah, it's just just a teeny pinch. 443 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: Maybe stick your pinky out for effecture, all right, and 444 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: that that's the blade throw. Yeah, and you've already got 445 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: your target. By the way, at this point, I know 446 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: you mentioned a block of wood, but they recommend um 447 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: aims small. What does it start? Small? Aim small? Yeah, 448 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: which is don't don't You don't need a tree trunk 449 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: um sliced up and put on a wall like you 450 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: just need, like whatever, a little twelve inch by twelve 451 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: inch block of wood. Or maybe if you want to 452 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: screw a bunch of wood together and then draw a 453 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: target on there, that's fine too. Yeah, you should probably 454 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: glue though, because the screws might your your knife might 455 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: bounce off of them. Yeah, you know if you're using 456 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: metal screws, okay, as opposed to the traditional wooden dell right, 457 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: so umptail joint right, So the the that's the what 458 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: did I say, that's the blade throw? Right, yeah, you 459 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: did blade throw. There's a handle throw too, and this 460 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: one is called a hatchet throw or hammer throw or 461 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: the handle throw you could call it to and everybody 462 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: all know what you're talking about. Yeah, and you stand, uh, 463 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: you're a little further back for this one because you've 464 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: got your your full turn going uh, and then you 465 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: just grip it like a baseball beat and swing away 466 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: right right, close your eyes, and you hope for the best, 467 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: say ninja strike, right yeah yeah. So um. The cool 468 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: thing is what you were saying about starting small, aiming small, 469 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: is that when you when you figure out that there's 470 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: actually just a few mechanics going on here, you'll be 471 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: able to tell what part of your throw is actually off, 472 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: whether it's distance, whether it's when you're releasing, whether it's 473 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: um how you're gripping it. The problems are, the issues 474 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: with your throw will show up, and you'll be able 475 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: to read based on how the knife is landing or sticking? 476 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: What's wrong with your throw? Yeah? Like if you are 477 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: throwing I think blade first and it sticks, but it's 478 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: sticking at a really hard angle where the where the 479 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: handle is pointing down. Then they say, maybe just move 480 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: back six inches with your stance, is it? Yeah, you're right, 481 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: You're right, and then try it again. Yeah, because that 482 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: means that you're the knife didn't get its full rotation right. 483 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: You wanted to basically be sticking straight out perpendicular to 484 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: the target. Yeah, that's a correct throw or as you're 485 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: as you're learning to do this. Yeah. And did you 486 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: say that it's generally your opposite leg of your throwing 487 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: hand forward? Oh yeah, so so yeah, so the stance, yeah, 488 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean generally. But then again I also saw this 489 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: Russian guy that through with his throwing leg or the 490 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: same leg as a throwing hand forward, and he was like, 491 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: you know it all works basically. Was this thing good? 492 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: I knew you had the Italian thing going on, but 493 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: Russian was good. Oh yeah, I can I can do that. 494 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: So let's get into of the throw them. Okay, so 495 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: the stance, I should say, So with the with the stance, 496 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: you're standing with your Um, you're you're throwing arm. The 497 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: leg opposite you're throwing arm is closest to the target, 498 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: kind of like you're throwing a dart, you know. Um, yes, okay, 499 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: like that. Well, actually that's not quite true when I 500 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: throw it. When you throw a dart, your you're the 501 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: leg that is, the foot that is on the line, 502 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: is the same side as your throwing hand, is it. Yeah, okay, 503 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: well this is the opposite of that. Maybe I've been 504 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: throwing darts wrong all this time. So the so the 505 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: the leg opposite you're throwing arm is the one you 506 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: want closest to the target traditionally, right, Traditionally your weight 507 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: is on your back leg, though, is you're throwing, and 508 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're gripping the knife however you 509 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: want to blade or handle either way. You line it 510 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: up right with your eye against the target, bring your 511 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: arm back behind your head, and then keeping your wrists straight. 512 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: You don't want to flip your wrist or anything like it. 513 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: You bring it in an arc in front of you, 514 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: and you finish like you are shaking somebody's hand. If 515 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: you're going, hey, how are you right? But I got 516 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: a knife? Right? The thing is here's the thing. You're 517 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: gonna want to release at that handshake part when your 518 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: hand is straight out in front of you, and you're 519 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: gonna find nothing but heartache trying to throw a knife 520 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: like that. Oh, if you release it right at the end. 521 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, it goes it'll go straight down, right, it'll 522 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: go down in front of you. Because when you release 523 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: an object that's going in an arc, it wants to 524 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: go straight in a tangential line from the the the 525 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: top of the arc. Right, that's right. So you want 526 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: to release it at the top of the arc. So 527 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: that is I was practicing just in the air, trying 528 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: to to make my brain release it at the top, 529 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: and that is really difficult to do because you think 530 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: initially that the nicest gonna go shooting up into the air. 531 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: It's not. It's gonna go straight. That's right. Pretty neat stuff, 532 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: that's right. And this is just I don't even know 533 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: what the traditional throw was called to you, I know, 534 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: I didn't see a name for it. Well, there are 535 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: some other throws which I might as well go ahead 536 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: and mention I've teased. One is the aforementioned thorn style 537 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: from Ralph Thorne. Okay, that's named after a dude is 538 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: named after a dude. Either way, it sounds cool. Yeah 539 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: this one, Um, did you see this one at all? Inline? 540 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: I didn't see that one. I kind of had an 541 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: idea of what they were talking about based on the article. Yeah, 542 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: they say that it resembles spear throwing. The action, Um, 543 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: I guess, and that you're you're not taking the knife 544 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: like behind your ear. You're sort of just extending your 545 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: whole arm and doing a big almost like you're throwing 546 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: a baseball pitch. Sure, that's what I imagine. Yeah, that's what. 547 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: It sort of looked like, a side arm, sort of 548 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: like a bunch of people were doing it different. And 549 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: then this guy's jumping all over behind his back like 550 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: Thorne style seems to be two just do whatever you want. Okay, 551 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: that's not true. Thorne's probably just like so angry right now. 552 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, come out. Uh. Then there was the 553 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: Russian style and this look it's a very compact um, 554 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: the elbow is in near the body, you hold the 555 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: knife behind the ear. Uh. And this I saw it 556 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: was a little bit more like, you know, like that 557 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: kind of thing. So that seems to me like depending 558 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: on how close you're holding your elbow to your body 559 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: like you're gonna chop the top of your ear off. 560 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: Well you want to avoid that, but it's it's more 561 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: like you're pushing it out rather than throwing it like 562 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: a tomahawk. So that's what I thought, Um Moon you 563 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: on style was like where you're basically like shoving the 564 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: knife forward. Well what I saw with that style, And again, 565 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: all these videos were different, so I don't know if 566 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: these people are just I mean, it is YouTube making it. 567 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: It's not like they're like, I'm an accredited thornist. But 568 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: the MoMu In style looks like they were having the 569 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: knife like in their hand, like kind of in their 570 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: palm and would throw it. But I don't know if 571 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: that was because of the knife, because the guy on 572 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: there was like, this is a bo bo shurrikan spike 573 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: which is thrown in the Momuen style. And that's what 574 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: this article said to people really get into this online 575 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: online though, right, That's what I did discover. So the 576 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: three the three things, those three types thorn style, Momuan 577 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: and Russian style, those are all styles of knife throwing 578 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: that involved no spin. That's what the common thread that 579 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: they all have yeah, which is pretty cool. It is cool, 580 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: And there's a couple of reasons you want to do this. 581 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: The most knife throwers say that's really tough on the 582 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: joints after a while. Yeah, that's what they say. And um, 583 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: the reason why is because it involves like doing crazy 584 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: like snapping motions with your elbow and your wrist and stuff. 585 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: Whereas with knife throwing, it's just a smooth arc you're 586 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: making it. Almost all of the motion is in your 587 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: shoulder and your elbow, Your wrist stays straight, and you 588 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: just areally generally releasing your grasp on the NiFe. Right, 589 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: do this into his ages all day long? Right? Yeah? 590 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: That with the no spin styles, it is, it's just tougher. 591 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: It's more of a snapping motion. That's like you're gonna 592 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: get tennis elbow after a while. The reason the advantage 593 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: that these have is like, if you're trying to throw 594 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: a knife through a hole, you can't have a twelve 595 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: inch knife spinning making this twenty four inch arc basically 596 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: or or circle. Um, you just want to send it 597 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: straight like a missile through that hole into some dude's leg, 598 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: into his calf, and then you you pounce on him. 599 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: Put your hand over his mouth and nose until he 600 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: falls asleep, and then you can advance further towards the castle. Well, 601 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: the Russian I saw was talking about the first thing 602 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: you do is find the balance point. So he held 603 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: out his finger and put the knife on it until, 604 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, like a little until I found the exact point. 605 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: And he's like, there's a balance point. So once you 606 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: find out where that is, that will teach you exactly 607 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: how to hold it, um in any in any scenario. Basically, 608 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: I know where the balance point is though, So whatever 609 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: you're doing, though, if if this sounds like something you 610 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: want to do, whether it's spin throwing or no spin 611 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: throwing techniques, the key to knife throwing of any kind 612 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: is practice, practice, practice, And this article actually gives a 613 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: really good piece of advice. It says, get a little 614 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: set of throwing knives, the best you can afford, because 615 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: the more expensive they are, typically with them, the better 616 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: the more well made they are. And um, get some, 617 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: get like I said, of three or five or whatever, 618 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: because you're you're going to have to practice rep eatedly. 619 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: And if you have one knife and you're standing fifteen 620 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: feet away you throw it, you have to go get it. 621 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: You throw it again, go get it. That's not nearly 622 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: as fun as trying to throw like five quickly in 623 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: a row. So you're number one, you're going to be 624 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: more entertained. Um. But also if you do, no matter 625 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 1: how many knives you have, if you start to lose focus, 626 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: if you start to get bored or frustrated, stop because 627 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: if there's one thing about knife throwing, it's meant to 628 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: be fun. And if you're practicing with your friends, uh, 629 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: don't they don't stand to the side of the target. 630 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: They don't stand directly behind you. Um, I would recommend 631 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: they stand well behind you and well to one side 632 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: of you. I've got one even better. Don't even don't 633 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: even let your friends anywhere near you. You you have 634 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: to be alone while you're practicing throwing knives, but you 635 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: have to be in text or phone contact with your 636 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 1: parents who are watching you from a safe distance, streaming 637 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: it to your parents. Maybe. So, Uh, you should go 638 00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: and look at some of these Ralph Thorn videos because 639 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: the funniest, the funniest part is uh the almost um 640 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,800 Speaker 1: not angry, but just his trudge towards the target afterward 641 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: is very like I don't know, it's weird. He'll jump 642 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: up in the air and throw a few and then 643 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: he's just like do do do and then walks over 644 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: and undoes it from the log like, I don't know. 645 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: All the pizzazz leaves as soon as he's thrown. Yeah, 646 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: that's when you need. The pizzazz is during the throwing. 647 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: The rest is just wasted energy. Yeah, but you don't 648 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: see throw Denie. That's the difference between an impalement act 649 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: in a dude in his backyard on YouTube. Well, throw 650 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: Denie has the smarts to hire an editor to edit 651 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: that part out. Yeah, you know, it's a good point. 652 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: I don't know if we said the great throw Denie's name. 653 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: His name is David ed Amovitch and he's a neat guy. 654 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 1: Great name.

Ah. And in the meantime, let's 663 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: listen to some listener. Man. All right, I'm gonna call this, oh, 664 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: welcome back to the fold. This just delighted me. I 665 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: like this one too. You know in April it's gonna 666 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: be ten years, which is just nutty, nutty, nutty. No 667 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: one ever thought we'd be doing this so long. Jerry 668 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: has an age today, now she hasn't, but she's taken 669 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: up more clothes as the podcasts. Uh, she's getting ready 670 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: for her a gig as a target girl. Um all right, guys, 671 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 1: um and Jerry, whoever, whoever else that Stuff you should 672 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,319 Speaker 1: Know might actually be reading this. I don't know how 673 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: fam will work. This is what she says, this is 674 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: how it works. Yeah, we read it. I realized, Um, 675 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 1: that the most I'm realistically going to achieve by stating this. 676 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: It's making you feel old. But when I was eleven 677 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 1: years old in two thousand eleven, Stuff you Should Know 678 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: was my favorite podcast and listen to every episode. Kept 679 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: on listening for a couple of years until I was thirteen, 680 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 1: when I stopped listening to it because that's what we 681 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: lose them is when they get too cool for school. 682 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: That's right. So for those those were your teenagers who 683 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: have kept listening through your teen years, we think you're cool. 684 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 1: You're doing it right. Your peers probably don't, but we do. 685 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: I have no idea why I stopped guys up until today. 686 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: I actually figured you guys must have stopped making it, 687 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: and I never bothered to go back and check until today. 688 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Isn't that funny to think back? To think that someone 689 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: can think back like, oh, remember those guys? Like I 690 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: wonder how long are last? Daily weekly life? So funny. 691 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to properly put how I feel 692 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,319 Speaker 1: into words, though, Uh, because not a lot else from 693 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 1: when I was that age till exist. I grew up 694 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: with the Internet. But poking around Google and looking for 695 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: old sites I used to just uh, it reveals a 696 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 1: trail of deleted accounts and domain names that no longer resolve. 697 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,040 Speaker 1: What does she find an old computer or something? I 698 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe she's definitely taking a trip down memory lane. 699 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 1: I know, man, I've moved countries, so most of my 700 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 1: physical stuff was either given away or thrown into a 701 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: landfill across the Atlantic. To fact, the stuff you should 702 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: know still exist and it's still making episodes that are 703 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,919 Speaker 1: just as good as I remember them being as incredible. 704 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 1: Very nice.
