Where to Train
Select a safe area, inside or outside, with a proper backstop
and target. Beginning practitioners are normally very wild
with their throws. If the target is inside, in a room or
basement for example, there should not be any windows,
furniture, or any other objects nearby which could be
damaged. The best solution is to use an entire wall as a
backstop, either covering it with wood or padding. Never
throw knives at plaster or concrete walls. Plasterboard will
not hold up long and is costly to repair. Knives may go
through the plasterboard and become lost in between the
walls. Knives thrown against concrete will dull, bend, or
even break. They will also have a tendency to bounce off the
wall, which is dangerous.
Outside, make certain that there is plenty of clear room
around in order to throw. There should not be any people,
pets, or property within range of the target. Be aware, also,
that throwing knives outside will often attract a good deal of
attention. Onlookers should be briefed about the dangers
involved with being around a knife thrower.
