Scores for the first ever UK Knife Throwing Tournament

Welcome to Knife Club, the informal name of the UK Knife, Axe & Tomahawk Throwing Association (KATTA). As far as we are aware, Knife Club is the only such club in the UK that holds regular meetings dedicated to throwing. There is generally a meeting at least once a month, and more commonly twice, at our range in a paintball site near Pontefract (close to the intersection of the A1, M62 and M1). These meetings are totally informal so please come along and have a go. We have lots of throwing knives, tomahawks, axes, nails that you can use. We try to accomodate all styles of throwers and things to throw, though of course safety is the first consideration. If anyone under the age of 18 wishes to attend they must be accompanied by an adult, who will supervise them throughout the training sessions.

As far as we are aware, Knife Club is the only site in the UK that holds regular meetings dedicated to throwing.

On arrival you will be asked to sign a disclaimer, safety rules will be explained and then, if necessry, someone will happily teach you the basics of how to throw. It’s that easy! From there it is up to you wherever you take throwing. Some throwers just come along and enjoy the thunk of hitting a target. Others, like myself (John Taylor) and Rich Sunderland, have travelled to international tournaments in Europe and the USA. One of our throwers makes throwing knives (they are beauties). Another, Anna Fur Laxis, has incorporated axe throwing into her world famous burlesque act: Axis Of Evil. As you can see, throwing can take you in all sorts of directions.

Basically though, it is a challenging but fun pastime and that is the whole idea of Knife Club. In the following pages we hope to give you an insight into the world of throwing and sticking virtually anything with a point. There is no mystery to this so long as you follow the various basics which are explained in the Techniques section.

Please enjoy the site and if you have any comments, questions or suggestions please feel free to register and comment wherever you like or contact me (John) on 07764 602876.

Happy throwing!

John
