Learning outcomes

Axe throwing is an activity that requires patience and repetition to master. Students will need to refine their micro-movements and be willing to practice in order to land axes in our wooden targets!

  • Focus

    Most people can take part in axe throwing, but only the students that improve their technique and make micro-movements with direction and power will be able to master the art! Focus is essential is students want to prove their axe throwing craft. It really is satisfying to have your axe stick in the target, and many students leave with a great sense of pride and achievement after doing so.

     

  • Coordination

    Students will need to be coordinated in order to find success when axe throwing. Stepping forward to the perfect distance from the target, aiming and throwing at a trajectory with the correct amount of power is required to land an axe. If students are unsuccessful at first, they will need to find trends in their failed attempts, and make effort to coordinate themselves differently to hit the target!
