ESEE Junglas - Throwing

Paul Z said:
"good form" doesnt mean proper landing capabilities. He easily could have been jumping too high for himself, think of it like people who break concrete slabs in martial arts competitions, that comes from *proper* incremental increases in micro-fractures and force applied to the skeleton over a long period of time. The thing is that these micro-fractures need time to heal. if you go out and parkour a few hours a day every day, you're going to hurt yourself.

Your friend took it too far too quickly, or had (as 99.9% of people do) muscular imbalances that, while his form was correct, caused him to land in a way that improperly loaded his legs.

I can get into specifics of how it works, if you really need me to.

If you train with The Yamakasi (founders of parkour and the best of those trained by them) they will not let you even take a 3 foot drop until you've been practicing almost daily for 1 year. Practice includes strength training as well as form and technique. I'm not going to get into a debate about this with you though, it's not needed.

Which proves my point... >.>
 
Glad I learned how to do the PLF in a couple of hours at Fort Benning. Otherwise I'd never know how to land when jumping off an 8 foot platform.

As far as throwing a knife that isn't a "throwing" knife, you get what you deserve for abusing a knife. IMHO.

Good on the OP!!! Better to know what your knife is capable of without it surprising you by snapping at a crucial time unexpectedly! Test your equipment.

Think I'll take this advice...and see how good my revolver works as a hammer.
Never know when you might have to use a gun as a hammer in a "survival" situation, right?;)

I seem to remember there being 8' platforms along with mock aircraft doors that were used for practice before every jump.

Did the PLF a few times jumping from anywhere between 800' and 1200' with a parachute, too.
 
What's this about ESEE knives being brittle and incapable of being thrown? The worst that should happen is possible loosening of the handle scales. Unless the knife is inherently flawed.
