Throwing knives for combat



One of my favorite youtubers, lindybeige's video on the general absurdity of throwing knives. Funny as always.

Full disclosure: I have throwing knives, know how to throw them (my dad taught me actually) and yes, it seems pretty cool. However, I too am aware of the ridiculousness of actually carrying any around or even using them in known-fight situations (war, street fight, etc).

It's a fun, neat skill to learn, but it's definitely within the classification of performance martial arts.

i think this guy is joking but.

one shot kills with a throwing knife is not the goal. its rare like killing someone with a single stab wound.

the whole idea about knife throwing is inching an advantage by wounding them physically and mentally before engaging in combat.

But, i only see knife throwing practical in home invasion scenarios and not in the street.
