INSTANT Tomahawk Throw KILL: Fact or Myth? (The Patriot)

[@AdamCeladin]

Instant Tomahawk Throw Kill: Fact or Myth? Today we gonna break down the scene from the Patriot Movie! Enjoy

[@TheRealRomansThirteen]

If it was the back of the body possibly. Kidneys Brain Stem100% Front of the body splitting the chest and getting the heart maybe? Historically They were thrown. Might even sever limbs/ decapitate based on the Hunga munga forged in fire test. Paralization from the spine results in an instant knock down. So can a hard hit to the liver or taking out tendons or the knee. We can't ignore the concussive force either. So the weight of the axe has knock out power even if it hits sidways. As Tommy Moore would say your shaking the brain jelly. Technically on the heart and kidneys those are both knock outs with unconsciousness after 30 seconds and take 2-3 min to bleed out. Remember Goliath was knocked out then David took dudes head off with his own sword. Before the fact let him know he's crow food. If you ever need to throw a tomahawk at a bad guy I'm sure you'd have the same sentiments I would. The spike on the m48 might get the heart.

[@AdamCeladin]

@@TheRealRomansThirteen thank you for comment brother, yeah i believe too that even smack with handle or head would make serious damage and possible even lethal bcs its really heavy blow....i seen people got messed up really bad just from the rebounces...full force throw must have been super effective and very devastating.

[@JokerLokison]

@@AdamCeladin That's why a spikehawk of some type is best for throwing combat... or a hurlbat, of course... you are just increasing your chances of penetration. Talking about the handle strike being deadly, you ever fully over rotate a spikehawk 1/2 a revolution? The handle strikes the target so hard, it drives the spike into the target. The cooler shot woulda been an underhand throw where the redcoat woulda never seen it coming! Lately, I practice right hand under, left hand over tomahawk/axes ALOT. Trying to teach myself throwing like that on the move, smoothly underhand with the overhand coming immediately after. With that momentum, they stick well grouped and with so much violence!

[@saltysergeant4284]

Also, this wasn't for sport, but for survival. If your son's life hung in the balance of your throw, I imagine you'd make it the best throw you COULD.

[@Jonathan-hm4tf]

A tomahawk is not soft anywhere, it is no Nerf projectile. Thrown at leisure to ensure accuracy of the hit and it still nails itself into the target deeply. Imagine dudes pumped up into battle ferocity levels. Whether you hit blade first or not, your head gets rung like a bell. A 20 oz. Tomahawk with a longer handle would be exactly like a professional framing hammer. Blunt force trauma kills more people every year than guns...

[@brianholden2609]

The battle field in any era is a steep learning curve, you get good or you get dead.

[@Bayan1905]

As someone who has Akwesasne Mohawk heritage and my ancestors were allied to the British in both the French & Indian War and the Rev War, there's a reason why the tomahawk and belt axes were so deadly even in close quarters. Even if they weren't thrown, the blunt force trauma of the flat or blunt side will fracture the skull, and the blade is more than enough to split it open.

I used to work at an axe throwing range... It's not as hard as most people think. We would have people "Sticking the Target", within a few minutes... My favorite technique, was throwing double axes, one overhand and one underhand, at the same time... Not gonna lie, I spent alot of time practicing, until I finally got that down... 💪💪💪❤❤❤

[@samspurgeon4222]

The Last Of The Mohicans made me fall in love with tomahawks and also Chingachook's war club.The chase along the mountain top and the death of Magua is one of the greatest fight scenes ever committed to film. Then The Patriot came along a few years later and I fell in love all over again. Lol. It's no wonder that 'hawks were brought back into service. If I saw what it could do in the hands of someone who knew how to use it, I'd surrender!

[@AdamCeladin]

i love that scene :P

[@kurtissmith2097]

You should read the book the movie is nothing like book. Magua died different but better. I could stop laughing. Hawkeye wasn’t a good looking man but the women love him for other reason. I won’t say anymore. Read the book. Read The Pioneers first.

I've seen mountain men reenactors cut the corners off playing cards.

[@AdamCeladin]

YUP those guys are super accurate with Tomahawks and big bowies, one time in Italy i won Mountain discipline.

[@mcmneverreadsreplys7318]

True! But playing cards don't bend, twist, dodge, duck, or side-step. And a thrown object (knife, tomahawk, spear) do not travel nearly as fast as you might think they do. They are actually relatively slow moving and are more easily dodged than movies portray. And then, there's the guy who is certain you're gonna move and aims to the side - but you don't move, or you go the other direction.

[@nmelkhunter1]

I saw some reenactors in Wyoming do the same. Very neat demonstration!

[@volkardlokisson6292]

​​@@mcmneverreadsreplys7318 I throw nearly every day to keep the practice up for competition. The axe hits the target fast! It's not an easy dodge by any stretch of the imagination especially given that reaction times are delayed and by the time you realize the axe is in flight you have milliseconds to dodge. The hand is always faster than the eye. Spears on the other hand are quite a bit easier to dodge when thrown considering their much slower speed off the hand. The distances you engage with them are also different. Spear is 15-25 ft. Axe is 10-15 ft.

[@MovieMuscle]

Great comment. I use to compete at the black powder rendezvous. We would cut up cards at 21 feet or 7 full steps. We would also do complete cuts Most points). Won the district one year. Beat the guy who won it 4 years in a row on my first competition.

[@Lorne-u2h]

20 seconds in and I say it's real. My wife is a champion axe thrower. She would save me in that scenario. Umm...I mean , I hope she would because she could.

[@hungariangiraffe6361]

Can I have a question? How many throwing axes could someone realisticly carry around? I have a character in the book I'm writing who has throwing axes, but her primary weapon is a halberd. Then, she also has an arming sword plus a buckler. Would there be place for two axes, or only one if there are so many other weapons on her?

[@marcosyy87]

@@hungariangiraffe6361 Did you play chivalry 2? I think the concepts in the game are pretty accurate (I do practice axe/knife/spear throwing myself). Idk if people would carry 5x spears like they do in the game though. Tomahawk thrower not the best class but it's not bad either

[@tommypeacock3298]

That was funny!!!!

[@TorquilBletchleySmythe]

​@hungariangiraffe6361 realistically, you want two. Double handed tomahawk technique is very effective at close range, and throwing would be limited to an all or nothing scenario, which is never ideal. Throwing one's weapon is effectively throwing it away. Holding two with established effective techniques is far more preferable to throwing, but if you must, make sure you have a second one in case you miss, and your opponent now has half of your hatchet collection.

[@jimdunkle4823]

Back in the 1980s I competed in tomahawk and knife. We would through 3 distances. 7 paces, hawk would stick handle down (1 rotation). 5 more paces, with bit to the back, the hawk would stick handle up(1.5 rotations). 5 more paces, and the bit to the front again and the hawk would stick handle down (2 rotations). But at the meet you couldn't pace the throw. PS I think the 2 rotations was 5 more but it could of been 7 paces. It's been a long time! At most meets it was only 1 rotation. At the Ohio state championship at Great Trials in Malvern in 1984. I took 3rd in tomahawk and 2nd in muzzle loading rifle. Thanks for the video!!!

[@aloberdorf4579]

I recall being call to an Assembly in our High School Auditorium, given by an American Indian WW2 Euorpeian Combat Vet, with dozens of KIA credits against the Germans. His weapons being knives...and a tomahawk.......and he operated in total darkness. This was in the late 1960's, and endorsed by our Educational Professionals, and sense of actual Historical Education. It was an honor and that man gave a lot, so that literally hundreds, if not thousand af American GI's came home from that bitter conflict. In retrospect, thanks for your skill and dedication. Wokeism has decided that Historical facts and circumstances should be altered and changed, to reflect a fantasy of what the woke think it should be. Perhaps there is hope, as I now see knife, axe and tomahawks throwing ranges and competitions are becoming common.

[@dobraydien7242]

A long time ago when I was young I used to complete in the 1838 fur trade reenactments. When I was taught how to throw a hawk, was to keep the hand about 1-2 inches from the bottom. That and to adjust the one spin through depending on paces. Later when I got better I used a battle ax. Similar to a Dane ax but for one hand throwing. After the third target log I split in half i was banned from using it lol

[@AdamCeladin]

haha cool Thank you for comment and watching :)

[@Jonathan-hm4tf]

Once upon a time, I made a war hammer fronted with a slight hook for throwing, there was such a penetration that you often had to baton the blade to help hammer it out. It was shaped like a Japanese Kama, or scythe blade and in this case needlessly sharpened...

[@soonleongong4863]

These soldiers fought arms to arms combat during those days. They used melee weapons most of the time and so frequently when the line clashes. To them, it's so often which is like eating a meal. No way anyone of us today could match their skills. It's in their blood which we do not have. I truly believe that could happen and it's not a myth.

[@brightlord-ov7cm]

I say it always depends where you are aiming at, say like the nape of a person's neck will put a dreadful slow down to a stop to them, while it may not be immediate it will get the vitals needed to stop the heart if you go a little up with it will hit the part of the brain that controls the heart... however you gotta get through the skull when you throw it though....soooo...

Thank you that Skull throw is super tough !!!!

[@JeffreyFrench-ds9bg]

As a U.S. Marine we were taught the no reflex zone from the front is from just above the eyes to just below the eyes. The projectile must penetrate to the back of the skull, or back to front. As a paramedic we had a patient with a machete IN his skull , he was still winning the fight.

I have seen the but of the handle of a hatchet strike an oak tree and burry itself more than half an inch into the bark. So even if you don’t stick the blade. If you hit a human the weight alone will drop them. Regardless of what part of the weapon hits them. At least temporarily incapacitate them

[@AdamCeladin]

yup even when it wont stick its still really nasty.

[@frankcairney5523]

[@texasdrifter4544]

As a tomahawk user myself, I think you’ve done really good with there, sir. Back in the day, people had no choice, but to rely under Tomahawks and not eyes because of the single shot, muskets, and the rifles and pistols of the time period. And you executed that through very, very well however, when Mel Gibson’s character was running after the soldier who ran away, he had to stop take him and Drow and was a full 2 to 3 he spins when he hit him in the back. Close range against train soldiers with rifles and bayonets is actually quite difficult and finding against some of the traditional Cherokee way of war is very difficult, especially against multiple opponents. Maybe you could do a scene where you believe you can use two weapons like that in the way Mel Gibson use them go through it step-by-step, and maybe you can figure out what I haven’t been able to figure out yet it’s been almost 5 years since I saw this last. I got back and tried to deal with it, but maybe you can do it

[@williammesar7898]

You made some very great points. But I would like to see maybe the speed and the sharpness of the axe. It seems like you're throwing it slower than in the movie I know the movie can be different.

[@ChelseaPensioner-DJW]

It fascinates me that Viking and American Indian Axes are so similar. My personal thought are that in the time of Lief Ericsson those Vikings that went to North America, the Indians were using flint or stone axes, and Viking axes were either traded or won. And as such will have been more valuable to the Indians. Later during colonisation by the French firstly, trappers noticed how useful the axe was/is so blacksmiths started making them, and again they were used for trade.

[@acyour]

Native Americans did not use metal until Europeans came and then they started acquiring them.

[@BabyBitchBlue]

Aaron m3n5io Ed you got the history wrong .....in reverse it's correct lmao 😂

[@Valkaneer]

This is not remotely true, axes have been used for well over thousands of years by many cultures. French and English did not discover their usefulness from the Natives, so that's rubbish. Since Axes are far cheaper to make than swords they were the most commonly used weapon in war for the common soldier for over a thousand years in Europe (besides the spear). Long before the English ever knew Naive Americans existed they were using axes in war and around the home. BTW American Indian Axes similar to Vikings??? Wrong, native stone axes would look more like the English Tomahawk just because you can't make the curved blade out of stone like the Vikings axe. So Viking and Native American axes looked nothing alike. There were no Iron hawks made by the natives. Nearly all the metal hawks were made by English or the French since Natives didn't know how to smelt metal or have any metal workers. Furthermore French and Viking axes were shaped similar, as French hawks have a very curved blade just as the thrower in the video was using. That was a french design hawk. English hawks looked much more like the Native American hawks. So you are way off.

You showed that the fatal throw was possible. But if I was the brit soldier,I would have put the boy in front of me to take the hit. I think the running throw is more realistic just because the brit never saw it coming. But I enjoyed the presentation,your throwing is amazing. If I ever had to do hand to hand combat,I would want a long handled tomahawk and a long bowie knife. Or better yet,two long handled tomahawks. Great video!

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you my friend

[@Greg-l8r]

Where can I get one of those tomahawk heads? Mine is similar. I make my handles with a mini-plane to 19”.

[@aaronwood9523]

Hey Adam nice video. I have been throwing knives for long time. Always with 1/2 spin. After watching you video on no spin I had to develop this technique picked up the slide no spin really quick. The index finger spring technique has taken some time to get used too. I normally throw from 16 feet to 20’ thanks for teaching me this no spin technique I prefer no spin over all other. Except with hatchets have not progressed that far yet

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you very much Aaron :)) nice to hear that! No spin is my favorite too :))

[@paulandreasen3163]

When I was young, and living on an island off the Maine coast, (65-70 years ago! LOL) I practised evey day with not a hawk, but an old plumbers hatchet, which is almost the same shape, but with a short hammer head opposite the blade. Same hatchet, several tears of daily practice, and I could hit "properly" (your description) from anywhere from a few feet to maybe 20 yards). I had no set start point, but after the first million or so throws, it becomes another part of your mind as far as to how to spin it, or when to release it. Same with a knife. By the time I was 15 or so I could do either from just about any distance, even hunting rabbits and gamebirds with it. It, like in any skill, practice, practice, pracice, that makes perfect. Love your shows, but frontiersmen (and women, as well as Indians) didn't have to measure distances, the weapon was simply a part of them that they understood well. I an not entirely convinced the weapons didn't think of themselves the same way.

[@Xanderviceory]

how often do you throw axes at that range and they dont hit right and bounce back? I went to an axe throwing place one time and after following the instructor my first throw the axe hit wrong and bounced back and came back so close I could feel the wind from it on my face, I'll leave it to the professionals lol

[@AdamCeladin]

I throw sharp stuff all the time my friend it takes time but after it really pays of

[@stevenprout9005]

For longer throws i just use the double rotation throw or slow the rotation down by holding the hawk with a thumbs up grip instead of the handshake grip. Middle distance i like the 1.5x spin starting with the blade facing backward and sticking the hawk upside down in the target. Takes a lot of practice but it insanely fun and addicting.

Great video and satisfying experiment, Adam!! I love that branded axes 😂 P.D: Lack of spanish fellas on that movie.

[@AdamCeladin]

Haha thank you my friend 😎✅💯

[@KingRat71]

What gets misunderstood or maybe overlooked is that everyone is assuming that it was a kill shot. It wasnt deep enough to kill outright. But consider also he just got hit in the head with a tomahawk. So maybe he is passing out from a concussion and shock and isnt collapsing becuase he is dead. The would may make him bleed out but he is falling becuase he is losing consciousness and not instantly dead.

[@Kendro311]

Very cool demonstration and comparison. 👍🏼

[@AdamCeladin]

Glad you like it

any chance you have a video of how to make or setup those stump targets?

Will make in near future

[@righty-o3585]

But if your target is moving away from you as you are moving forward, that extra force will cancel out

[@loquat4440]

There are variety of short clubs, throwing sticks, and axes that were used world wide for fighting at one time. Some of these sticks and clubs are still used in southern africa today and perhaps elsewhere for contests. I do know that the hatchet was at one time also used in africa. When I was younger I did try throwing a carpenters hatchet. I found out that even a strike from the end of the handle when thrown transmitted a lot of force. The problem with throwing your tomahawk, is that you no longer have it one it leaves your hand.

[@aceyahawadah4iye169]

what knife do you have on?

[@AdamCeladin]

Glock 78

[@tomknapp6194]

I am an axe coach and I re-enact that scene for guests. It works most of the times. But, sometimes I have to say, "Oops! Sorry Heath!"

[@plinkerjon]

The tomahawk was and still is a resourceful tool to have. Such a wonderful multitool! It takes a bit of practice to learn all the full capabilities of such a great tool.

[@AdamCeladin]

Totally agree!

[@dalemeyer8207]

There more for catching people or getting away then killing . Great Camp Tool !!! Thanks 😎

Could you please do a video on how you mounted the targets on the wall in this room? Thanks 👍

[@AdamCeladin]

Sure thing!

[@thefallenjedi66]

So finishing afterwords, it mostly fit into my hypothesis. But the problem is the test cannot exactly be busted or proven as the meat shows the great capacity of the tomahawk being able to cut. But the problem is it didn’t simulate a skull well as you didn’t cover it with a material equal to that part of the skull. You can either do so to make it more realistic with getting the conditions as close as possible for it to count or get a ballistics head that will work seamlessly and show you the damage with the blood pouring out if it cut well enough or was lethal I enjoyed it either way and hope the port was delicious. I learnt a lot today

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you very much! There was Ballistic head actually in the video maybe you missed it was scene from Zombie Go Boom where i threw on Zombie Skull and was able to penetrate it and that skull has bigger density then human skull actually

[@j.mangum7652]

The Nordic axe has different balance characteristics from the Americanized tomahawk because the tomahawk has a hammer/counterweight opposite the blade on the head. The tomahawk would be preferable imo as a throwing weapon because as one holds the haft at the lowest end for near absolute let off from the hand at launch. But it would interesting to see which weapon is preferable in performance when it comes to how each spins on its axis.

[@AdamCeladin]

Totally agree thank you brother

[@elhamrahmani3071]

Is it possible to throw axe with whatever distance ?

[@AdamCeladin]

Of course any distance is possible
