Almost.
I've been throwing knives since I was 8,9 definitely 10. My dad taught me the basics. How many rotations should it make, butt or blade held, the gist.
Well, I have taken that little bit of information and ran with it. I learned no-spin naturally, having never been told about it or seen it. Other than ALL anime ninjas no spin their garder tools.
But I was really breaking away from how people think knives are thrown.
First of all, if youre trying to stop someone from closing in on you, and think that you can rotational throw this right at him. Well, good job. You just gave him a weapon. Rotational throwing has its pros and cons.
Just like no or half-spin have theirs. But between Fedin, Mumyou-Ryu, and other unique instinct throwing, there is NOTHING more fun, stimulated, physical, self-defense, its so many things.
Alas, I'm basically alone. I don't know anyone who takes it as serious as I do. So I'm considering just plastering signs about a get together. Maybe even start a group.
So, besides FB, where should I advertise and what's one of the biggest draws from people whove never thrown?

Craigslist, or one of those neighborhood apps that allow you to post shit for the local community. Also knife throwing is cool and I wish I could do it, but I don't really see any practical uses for it, except of course using it as a party trick to maybe pick up some girls. I just feel like if I have a knife in a fight I am holding onto it as long as I can, also if I am in a fight with deadly weapons, I'd rather just have a gun.
But when I was a kid my best friend had throwing stars and some throwing knives, and a bunch of these cheesy ninja posters on his wall and we used to throw the projectiles at the ninjas. It was fun and we got pretty decent at it, but I quickly realized it is not as effective as the movies. Still a lot of fun though. And you didnt ask for it, but there you go. That is some of my thoughts on the subject. Good luck with your neighborhood ninja group. :)
