How Knife Throwing Developed

Knife throwing has an extensive history dating back to when throwing knives and spears were used primarily as hunting weapons. Over the years, it was incorporated into martial arts and native American Indian practices and became better popularized in the 19th century through the entertainment efforts of Barnum and Bailey Circus and Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Soldiers in the American Civil War practiced knife throwing as a pastime as well making knife throwing a historically rich American sport.

Throwing Knife Events

Today, a growing number of knife throwing enthusiasts have come together to further celebrate and cultivate knife throwing into an enjoyable pastime and a growing sport. Groups such as American Knife Throwers Alliance, International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame and Eurothrowers are common sponsors for these events, demonstrations and competitions. Events like these give an opportunity for the throwers to exchange know-how, compare their performances and celebrate a long standing tradition of the throwing knives art.

Throwing Knives In The Movies

Knife throwing holds a fascination for many, even in Hollywood. You can see some excellent throwing knife scenes in movies such as Kill Bill and Gangs of New York. However, you wouldn’t want to model the techniques that you see used in the movies. Hollywood changes the knife throwing process to ensure the best effects, but you would really want to find a good knife throwing book, dvd, or instructor to really learn how to handle and throw your knives.

Additional entertainment of knife throwing can be found in what is known as “Impalement Arts”, please never try this at home! Impalement art events can often be found in circuses, sideshows, and many old movies. Even the movie The Jerk highlighted a throwing knives scene and is a good example why you would not want to try this yourself with a real person. Stuffed animals are optional!
