There are several projectile weapons that are part of our ABA/NBAA bando...throwing knives, slingshot, slings, spears, atlatl, bow and arrow, etc. A very simple and satisfying skill to practice is knife throwing.
These were purchased at Academy Sports and are also available through Amazon. Amazon shows some 10 inch knives available. That size is preferable if available.
Such a satisfying thud when they stick. Gary, what's your distance from target and number of rotations? We used to throw a lot over beers at 7' out with one rotation. The game was: as long as they were sticking you continued to throw. One morning at around 2 a.m. with 20+ beers in me I was able to land 140 or so, consecutive hits. Being loaded, I was able to channel all my concentration into throwing those knives. It made no sense but we had a big laugh over it.
The State of Virginia, now entirely run by truly insane Democrats who support infanticide and child murder, is proposing a new 2020 law known as SB64 (see link here) which will be taken up by the Democrat-run Senate beginning January 8, 2020. The law would instantly transform all martial arts...
I dug out my old throwing knives and found they weren't as manly as the short swords Gary whips around. I'll have to set something up next spring and see if I'm any good sober.
Here is one of our most highly skilled Bando masters, Fon Essien, performing for OSS 101 veterans. Our GA Kukri Drill Team performed to honor these men for their service and sacrifice during WWII. There is verbiage with the video that describes who/what the OSS was.
The son of Field Marshal, Viscount Slim of WWII fame was officiating at this Reunion. You can see our teacher, Dr. U Maung Gyi in the background, a Burmese man wearing a maroon beret.
Notice on Fon's second set of solo drills how he comes close to a little lady who was on the first row...I remember seeing how much it frightened her...and how Fon just smiled warmly (and devilishly) to reassure her that "everything's OK".
Cool stuff Gary. And you gave me an excuse to post another pic! A chrome plated ornament but I thought it was a real find from a pawn shop 20+ years ago.
Doesn't take much to piss you off.
Why don't you simply man up and dismember me instead of having to put up with being "schooled" by me.
Nope, "dismember" was not a mistake, it was a joke, however lame.
