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!

[@Throwsessive]

Great video! Wish I had a sky king

[@makeitstick6712]

I believe it's possible. Also possible to hit the hostage. Absolutely love the new hawks and axes from acejet!

Those fellas fought with Tomahawks during the French and Indian wars. They were not novices but battle proven experts. The frontier was not a place for the timid.

[@AdamCeladin]

Ohhh 100 % 🙏wild times

[@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.

[@dangeary2134]

If nothing else, it will make him flinch, and sometimes that’s all it takes to get the upper hand.

[@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

[@lucassmith2332]

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.

[@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.

[@boatnut64]

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... 💪💪💪❤❤❤

[@AdamCeladin]

Very cool trick shot 😎👌 thank you for watching and comment

[@user-mk5xm9zh7n]

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!!!

[@AdamCeladin]

My favorite 😍🎯

[@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...

[@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.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you for watching and comment its really nice to see those ranges all over the world these days and its just matter of time when we see some cool competition also on the TV :)

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.

[@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.

[@FarrahGerwing]

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.

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.

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.

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for the video. In this example, I don't think either of those throws would have killed as quickly as they did in the movie. Assuming that pork ribs are a good analogy to human ribs, the throw into the back might or might not be fatal, but the kill would not happen quickly unless the blade hit that big artery in the back. If the blade didn't hit the artery, the wound to the ribs would be painful and eventually debilitating. However, a person full of adrenaline might keep running. Maybe that person would bleed to death over the next hour or so. A more likely scenario is that the person would die of infection. If the axe penetrated the front of the skull, that wouldn't might not be immediately debilitating. If the blunt force produced a knockout, the person might fall that way, but knockouts to the forehead are rare. An injury to the front brain is serious, but a person in a fight doesn't always stop immediately. People have been stabbed in the forehead and kept functioning. I don't think he would have kept his son from being stabbed in the throat.

Not to mention the time it takes to actually throw would give someone plenty of time to move. Much like dodging a punch.

My tomahawk has a 3 and one half inch edge, the shape is consistent with the French and Indian war. My handle is 24 inches long. I don't even practice throwing. I would use mine in my strong hand with a large Bowie knife in my off hand. As a melee weapon, it would be hard to defeat.

I was ready to watch someone running away from your axe for his life. Disapointed.😁

Wow! Very cool. Iam gonna send this to my brother. Nice job Adam!

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you very much brother

[@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

[@user-gw2ub6vj1w]

Hatchet and tomahawk throwing was something I did alot in my younger days. It was a fun thing to do. My dad chewed my ass about the trees so I had to build targets. It never struck me as the most efficient thing to do for combat as throwing your weapon away is not the best solution in close quarters. But in a situation where it is necessary being proficient is handy. 21 feet seemed to be a magic distance for me.

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!

[@chrisseguin1621]

The Indian French war was brutal hand fighting with some amount of cannon and firearms. But often was hand to hand fighting so battle hardened vets where the first special forces of the frontier.

Well done Adam. 👍👌👏💪

Thank you my friend

[@clamchowder622]

The one thing that can't be recreated is the skill of a veteran of hand to hand combat. They fought on the 18th century frontier, where battles often became hand to hand affairs, especially against Cherokee guerrillas. The tomahawk still had a place on the battlefield, and when you've taken numerous lives with one, that is skill and experience that can't be duplicated today.

[@AdamCeladin]

100 % it was real survival skill back then 🙏thank you for comment

[@p.s.9658]

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

[@jaredrobinson7071]

probably gonna order me one of your tomahawks.

[@AdamCeladin]

Hell yeah thank you for support my friend :))

[@jfbft5007]

I think, but I could be wrong, that throwing is tomahawk wasn’t supposed to be so hot as we think. Indeed, if you throw your weapon, you are disarmed, and in the middle of a battle it is a very bad idea. I believe more in knife and tomahawk battle scenes against swords and guns.

[@AdamCeladin]

This only apply if you dont have any weapon to follow up your attack.

[@Rystefn]

Me: "That looks a little low, but it would still mess that guy up pretty bad, right?" Me, ten seconds later: "Uh... yeah, like that. Holy crap."

[@AdamCeladin]

pretty wild right?

[@timrichardson3314]

I've been throwing knives all my life first time I threw a tomahawk wow it smashed through a fence but there's just about knowing your tools and knowing where the hold it for what distance practice makes perfect

[@MistaKnifeguy]

The upper edge on Mel's tommy looked a little more crafted toward puncturing than hacking.

[@blamokapow137]

Very nice axe and as always, great video.

[@AdamCeladin]

Thank you very much my friend :)) Glad you liked it

[@jessoliver2955]

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.

[@saltykraken9471]

The Patriot is one of my favorite movies and I can quote the entire thing lmao!

[@AdamCeladin]

Mine too :)))

[@hulkthedane7542]

I would think, it could be done like the movie, but not easily. 👍👍

[@AdamCeladin]

Yes very hard shot but possible

[@Mad88Matt]

It's possible if you have enough time and experience with your weapon, I know everyone talks about set distance in throwing with axes, but if you're experienced enough, you can apply enough force to control the the rotation. I tell people when I'm teaching them to throw axes. Is to imagine the rotation from where they are positioned, and it works all the time. You have to do your own calculation in your head to land the shot.

[@AdamCeladin]

Heeey nice to see you back Mad Matt😎💪💯🎯🔪
