Hammer Grip No Spin Knife Throwing Tutorial Part 2-New & Improved!

This video is a continuation of a tutorial I did a year ago. My audience requested more slow motion shots and I heard them loud and clear. Here’s the new improved installment of this tutorial. Enjoy! #nospinknifethrowing #instinctiveknifethrowing #knifethrowing

LT.dan... never throw your last blade. And remember kiddies a knife is ALWAYS LOADED. 😎 Enjoy chucking steel fellas. Been doing it since dirt was invented an rocks were soft. Enjoy the day.

If your on the receiving end of a knife throw to the face, the last thing on your mind is how many spins it's done. Great skill compadre 👍🏼👍🏼

Cheers my friend!💯 facts

This sequel to "The Best No-Spin Throwing Tutorial Online" seems to be a heartfelt attempt to help educate the chumps who just want to trash-talk. The presenter clearly hasn't heard "The Ballad of Billy John" by Trevor Moore! No-spin throwers, on day one, can use the same techniques to throw any object that fits in the hand. The only "gotcha" in no-spin throwing is that it helps a little when the back-end of the projectile is heavier than the impact-end. Throwing from longer range is easier for no-spin throwers because all they have to do is release the object at the right moment and that's a question of where the launch-hand is in relation to the arm's arc during a throw, regardless of the size and shape and weight of the projectile. No-spin artists can throw a full-sized sword just as easily and accurately as a spike engineered for throwing, and just as easily and accurately as a piece of rebar or a bottle or a straight-ish stick. "No-spin throwing" stems from Bo-Shuriken Jutsu, which literally translates to, "Hand weapon technique." As described in the video, "any amount of spin" throwing requires the operator to train with, and therefore only ever use effectively, tools of known length and weight. Every object thrown has to be played with before it can be known to the thrower how many times it will want to do somersaults, because without that knowledge you can't even guess at whether the blade, haft, or side of the projectile will strike the target from any given range. In a real combat situation, if spin throwers are forced to use a longer projectile or a heavier projectile or an improvised projectile, they might as well just surrender and hope for the best. No-spin throwers can throw, with as much deadly accuracy and force as they choose, anything they can pick up in one hand. To the suckers who don't believe in throwing as a practical combat skill: If your enemy is further out than the 3 to 5 meters where the average thrower reaches the limit of their physical ability, then you're not engaged in self defense.

Awesome commentary my friend

[@baudgaud]

@@411Outdoors Awesome tutorial videos! If anything was left out or mis-stated, I'd be ragging on you for it instead of praising your content. I'm not even a fan of (or very good at) throwing. I just know that without Kenpo alongside Bo techniques, you're just another athlete.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

Thank you for these tutorials! I am not new to throwing but AM new to "no spin". It feels completely weird and is taking a while to get used to. I get a lot out of your slo mo's 👍

[@411Outdoors]

Awesome! Great to hear

[@mikerowell992]

Thank you so much for these tips. Been throwing for a couple months, I started with the little ka-bar throwers, got really consistent no spin with those with my index finger on the spine. I just got the cold Steel True Flight Thrower a while ago (also just ordered a 2nd one because I like it so much), and no spin was just eluding me. Full spin was pretty easy due to the awesome weight and balance. But I was trying to throw with my index finger on the back like with the smaller knives and getting frustrated. Seeing your hammer grip in slo mo, and understanding the gradual release rather than maintaining a full hammer grip really sent it home for me. 12 feet no spin is already getting consistent. Thanks again!

[@411Outdoors]

Anytime!

[@mikerowell992]

@@411Outdoors nothing like chopping off some fresh rosemary for your steak dinner with the same knife you throw. Cold steel true flight is so nice man.

The perfect way to practice knife throwing to perfection is when you get into your neighbors house and they coincidentally ask to pass the knife 🗡️🔪, that's when you have the golden time to show your skills💀💀😂😂.

Love this

[@old.tables1989]

Crazy timing. I was just looking for new ways to throw knives and I happened upon your video a year ago about hammer grip no spin. Checked your channel, now there’s a part 2 you just posted today! Haha

[@411Outdoors]

Sweet!

[@southernyert7597]

Thank u for video. I liked ur comments.

[@menacedark6990]

thank you for the video you answered so many questions thank you

[@milesholland6826]

Gettin’ it done. Yup, who cares what it is called as long as it works. Nice throwing and excellent tutorial for me who can’t stop over rotating! Ugh

[@411Outdoors]

Thank you!

[@brnrecluse2946]

Excellent job! Love the angles and the slow motion. Very thorough!

[@411Outdoors]

Thank you very much!

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

I like throwing knives to use as spear points if needed. But do use them as throwing knives. Straight throw side arm south paw style.

[@NatureZone101]

Thanks for the video, this is really what i want to do - just be able to throw and hit accurate if I ever need to. I can't help laugh at all the people who argue. Yeah if you're entering a competition then things need to be a certain way. However in real life all that matters is the point of the knife sink into the person. Doesn't matter what it's call, just do it.

Newbie here, soaking it all up! Super informative video, thanks! 👍👍👍

[@411Outdoors]

Glad to have you on the channel my friend!

[@christophmartin4397]

Thanks for another great Video. I liked the idea of hammer grip no spin from the first time I saw your first Video on the Subject. But I had the feeling I was not getting it a 100%. But after watching this video, I went outside and tried it, and man. It was like all the pieces of the puzzle finally Fell into place. And I finally got it. 3 feet, or 20 feet no Problem. And with so much power!

[@411Outdoors]

Glad it was helpful!

[@krefftc]

You should have told them to sit on it and spin. I agree with you, it's no spin.

[@411Outdoors]

😂💯💯👊

[@dionpage7948]

Outstanding top notch killer vid brother!! I carry at least 1 fixed&1 ColdSteel TriAD locking knife (in my opinion when open become fixed) at all times for the purpose of a back up if I gotta throw my fixed blade. I usually carry 4-5 blades at all times.

[@411Outdoors]

Well done!🙂💯🤝

[@SirPraiseSun]

can you do a similar video like this with kunai? is it harder to throw them because they are smaller at 6.5 inch ones? or maybe im spinning them too much i guess, this video was helpful im gonna try this technique for sure.

Good afternoon from Italy. I greatly appreciate your dedication to this discipline, and I thank you for your willingness to share the joy of what you do. However, speaking of no-spin throwing, and its mechanics, I cannot help but notice that in the style you practice, the arm remains very bent for most of the time, and there is a lot of muscular push through the torso. With a body like yours, you still get a lot of power, but for us mortals, classic technique allows us to compensate for the lack of raw strength. In the most popular systems here in Europe, we use to control the rotation with the extremities, using the fingers. Even if you need to change the grip on the knife, this allows you to extend your arm, with greater leverage, and to use a wave motion, similar to a whiplash. Less effort, more speed. Some may say this technique belongs to the skanf (fedin) system. For me it's just the research for the most aesthetic and harmonious movement possible. And my goal is to try and repeat it until it becomes instinctive. Thank you for your attention, take care.

[@411Outdoors]

Thank you so much for sharing my friend and thanks for watching! 🙂

[@stegmonjurvinweirdt1834]

Yep, don't make excuses. If you don't like, that's cool. Just so you know it doesn't have to be a knife. I'm teaching myself so I can throw any projectile.

[@411Outdoors]

💯

[@stegmonjurvinweirdt1834]

I've been watching this guy on tiktok do some pretty amazing things lately with toothpicks & seashells. If he can be accurate with these, imagine what else he could do. So, I would like to challenge the knife throwers; "What you do to a coconut with spare change?" A silver dollar would the ace. The nah-sayers can eat crow.

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

I bet tracker style blade is good for this. Heavier on top. Have you thrown any of the TOPS knives trackers ?

[@411Outdoors]

I sure have I have a video on it🙂👍

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

@@411Outdoors nice ill go check it 👍

[@McJuice31]

I live in a city so i don't really get to practice as much as i want and want to load up on theory instead. Would this work with throwing spikes? Would you say that the throwing motion is more like throwing a hook in boxing?

[@411Outdoors]

This definitely works on spikes some have compared to a knuckleball in baseball

[@CaIke-vq2qu3cl7i]

Need a bit of help if you can. I’ve got this throw down to where I can stick it 95% of the time or at least hit blade first. Sometimes it bounce off due to my target tree being a pretty hard wood and throwing at side grain instead of end grain. The one thing I can’t seem to iron out is that my knife sticks cutting edge up most of the time so along with the rotation around the balance point to point first, it is also doing what I can describe as an arrow spin around the long axis of the blade. I see the same rotation in your vid but your throws seem to always land spine up. I’d add a pic if I could.

[@411Outdoors]

You may be putting a little bit of a baseball style throw to it. A lot of time is my blades end up sideways but I prefer they be up right

[@CaIke-vq2qu3cl7i]

@@411Outdoors thanks for the reply. You’re right about the baseballing, not in that arm motion but in the hand when releasing. I found as I release the knife would catch along my fingers and start a bullet spin similar to how you add spin to a baseball in a pitch.. I found a clip of Matei doing a throw and mad some adjustments that have improved my throw a lot that you might be interested in testing yourself. I now maintain my grip through the drawback and loosen up as I release instead of loosening as I draw back. Doing this has had the effect of increasing power in the throw to where I’m getting about 20% more penetration on my target tree, increased accuracy and control and has virtually eliminated the bullet spin. The torque and push are the same and my follow through and hand position on release is more akin to a karate chop. In effect the throw is more explosive and I can put it pretty much exactly where I want it. The other benefit of maintaining the grip until releaseis that I can easily switch back to slashing techniques in the middle of a throw if it gets interrupted where if my grip is already loose and someone happens to rush my side to hit my arm, I am more easily disarmed. No need to think about reestablishing the grip as it’s still there.

[@kennethswann6458]

Crazy how they get so hung up on that stuff see somebody throwing a knife and s*** what you call it I just want to know how to do it that's the way I look at it

Its almost like you are throwing it butt first

At those great distances, it’s really leaned back for sure👍👍 it’s like a crazy slow turnover
