To follow up on Will's point--and by the way, Will, there are other places where the football team never wins, ever, and I went to one myself--throwing techniques are not limited to knives.
The same techniques used to throw knives can be used to throw many other things, any of which can prove immensely useful in a bad situation. The notion that 'you're throwing away your only weapon' is a limited vision.
I learned this lesson the hard way: I have four dots in the thenar prominence at the base of my right thumb... scars from a guy who whipped a dinner fork at me twenty years ago. The fork stuck right in my palm--and it was a knife throwing technique he used. Good thing I caught it.
