Throwing hatchets/tomahawks -- good primal exercise?

someone told me this would be a good gift for a friend who's into the primal lifestyle as it helps to balance the mind and body, etc.

anyone have any suggestions/experience with this?

"be one with the axe."

I dunno about that...

ha yes, im skeptical... but could also see it being a challenge and the movements would have to be precise

i imagine it would be alot like archery which is awesome but one sided as an exercise. and yes, def be the one with the axe lol

It would be damned handy too - if you had a husband who needed sorting out LOL

I sleep w a legit tomahawk next to my bed.... No lie. I will be forced to throw it if there's an intruder ;)

Primal exercise or no, it's super fun so I recommend doing it.

I taught myself to do this a couple years ago- it's very fun. Easy to pick up, and very difficult to master. I don't know about it being much of a workout or exercise, but it is definitely good for calming and focusing your mind. (btw I would suggest getting your friend a tomahawk from Cold Steel. They are cheap, fairly good quality, and basically indestructible).

We've got a league in Toronto [url=http://www.batl.ca/]The Backyard Axe Throwing League[/url]

That appeals to me. But would punching a bag be better exercise?
