Throwing Stance

[bigbtb]

I have been throwing for a couple of months now. After having read a few websites on throwing, this forum, and watching Bandidas I have come to notice that just about everything I read and see tends to have your left foot leading (closer the target) and your right foot trailing for a right hander. I originally started with my right foot leading but have been practicing both ways and still feel that I throw best the way I started out. Is there a certain stance that is generally "accepted"? Have you found different stances that work best for you?



I have this forum to thank for finally getting me to buy a set of throwers and I am hooked, it definitely won't be my last set.

If you are right handed, leading with your left leg is better depending on your style. I can throw either way, but if I am leaning into my throw, I feel off balance leading with my right leg. I try to teach people that are right handed to lead with their left foot. That is how I taught Salma for Bandida's, as well as hundreds of other people. After I get people to the point where they can stick the knife using my methods, I tell them that they will eventually find their own style. Hope this help.
