Axe Instructor, Dave, instructs a fair goer!
Like many first time throwers, this young lady was sticking axes in just a few minutes after some instruction from Dave.
We provide expert demonstrations of knife and tomahawk throwing. What sets us apart is our specialty: teaching new throwers in the art of knife and axe throwing in a one-on-one instructor/learner environment.
We have appeared in such events as:
- WI Highland Games
- Milwaukee Admirals Hockey
- Warrior Dash
- Janesville Renaissance Faire
- Port Washington Pirate Fest
- even commercial advertisement videos
We are avialable for festivals, demonstrations, even private parties or picnics. We have attended festivals from 2,000 to over 10,000 guests!
We can put on a demonstration and/or teach your guests. Give your guests the unique "take home" experience of sticking their own axe or knife!
SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY! We've instructed people of all ages, from kids to seniors! We will safely teach you and provide an educational demonstration at your event! We've taught thousands of people at Renaissance, Celtic fairs and private settings.
Use the CONTACT US tab for information on booking a demonstration or personal lesson with our manager Jonathan or with any other questions.
Jonathan, Knife Instructor, throwing one of 1,000 knives he stuck in only 1 hour and 6 minutes for local men's shelter fund raiser!!!
ONE THOUSAND KNIVES STUCK IN 66 MINUTES
Jonathan, Knife Instructor, sticks 1,000 knives in just 1 hour and 6 minutes to benefit the Gifts Men's Shelter in Janesville, WI. Jonathan performed this challenge for the guests at the Janesville Renaissance Faire. That's like pitching 1,000 baseballs at a rate of once every 3.8 seconds for over an hour!!!! It took Jonathan 1,375 throws to reach that goal. As fatigue took it's toll, he "bounced" 375 knives off the target while sticking 1,000 of them. At 10.4 oz. per knife, Jonathan threw over 893 lbs of steel...almost 1/2 ton in an HOUR!!! Whew!!! Jonathan was still icing his arm 3 days later :)
Thank you so much to everyone who cheered Jonathan on and donated to this wonderful cause. If you weren't able to come or donate or for more information or to contribute to this great cause, visit http://www.gifts-shelter.org
