ABOUT THIS EVENT

Event Overview

Knife throwing!?!?!? Yep. Learn the basics of knife throwing. No experience is necessary but ages 13+ please! We're often asked, "Is there a trick to knife throwing?" and "How long does it take to learn knife throwing?" and the truth is that it all depends and we're here to help!


Throwing knives is incredibly addicting...and a lot like throwing darts but we use 14-inch steel knives and it feels REALLY good when you get the hang of things!


Sharpen your hand-eye coordination, impress your friends or just have a great time! We will be covering knife throwing basics, what to look for in a good throwing knife and just having a good time. Class lasts 90 minutes and I will have you sticking knives in the first 20 minutes! After you are comfortable with the basic full-turn, we'll work on adding the turn and a half and even two turn throws.

If the weather isn't cooperating, we'll explore indoor options or reschedule if needed and make the call 24 hours in advance. Refunds are available if you can't make a rescheduled date within 30 days.


Please Note: This experience has a minimum of 6 students required to go forward. If we don't reach, you'll have the option to make it a private class, transfer to another date or experience, or receive a refund.

What to Bring

Closed-toes shoes are required!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

What's Provided

Lots of knives!!!

    This was a great class to learn something new! $29 was a little high for 90 minutes, but where else in town is somebody going to teach you how to throw knives on a Sunday in the park? Would recommend if you're looking to try something different and fun!

    Great way to explore a new activity with friends or family. Went with my son and had a wonderful time trying to best each other. Jemal was clear and inviting and his instructions were understandable. He gave a brief background about the sport and offered ways to continue our interest, if we so chose. Thanks Jemal and thanks Dabble for always offering enlightening classes in such a rich variety!

    Jemal was such a fantastic teacher! None of us had previous experience with knife throwing. Jemal did a great job of balancing instruction time with practice time. It was so much fun, and we definitely want to do it again!

    All the knives were supplied as well as little tent and coffee to keep the drizzle away. The instructor was able to teach some beginning knife throws and give instruction on how to improve. I would recommend to my friends.

    Knife throwing 101 was so much fun! I've been wanting to take the class for awhile and I'm so glad I finally did. Our class was supposed to be held outside but was moved indoors last minute because of weather. I think it would have been cool to experience it outside. But the last minute venue was fine! I highly recommend the class to anyone who wants to try something new and badass.

    Knife Throwing was a relaxing environment where you get hands on experience. The class wasn't crowded so you had a lot of time to practice and to socialize with your fellow Knifers! I'm one step closer to becoming a Ninja!

    Personally I did it as a "well this sounds weird" and it lived up to my expectations. As promised, we were throwing knives within 15 minutes of the class starting and had plenty of opportunity to throw (e.g.: it wasn't too crowded so you felt like you were watching most of the time). Would strongly recommend taking this class whether you're looking to join a knife throwing community (yup, that's a thing) or just looking for something new to try!

    What a great class! It was very easy to schedule a private class for my colleagues and I as a team bonding experience. We had a great time taking our aggression out and learning a few techniques. I eventually got into the groove when we got to throw more than 4 knives per turn. Jay was a great instructor giving constructive criticism after watching everyone's throw. I love Dabble!!

    Knife Throwing was a fun class - definitely what dabble is all about! Everyone was nice and supportive. However, the 2 hours was a bit long for the basic knife throwing we did, 1 hour would've been enough. And there were only 2 targets for 10 people, so it was hard to get into a groove because you had to wait ~10 mins between throwing so everyone could get a chance.

    This was an awesome class! What a blast! I used to throw knives a long time ago for fun, and when I saw this class pop up, I had to go. But a series of conflicting commitments prevented that from happening, and then the class disappeared for a while. The class reappeared under the direction of Jay, the owner of Dabble. Unfortunately, the day of the class was predicted to be in the 40's, and probably too cold for most to be outdoors, so Jay found an excellent indoor place to hold the class. Thanks to Brooklyn Boulders for such an awesome venue. Jay introduced everyone to the art and science of knife throwing. We started out with 1/2 spins and progressed to full spins. Everyone had a great time and I met some really cool people. One thing that impressed me was the number of women at this class. There were 3 couples (so 3 women) and then two women who were friends for a total of 5 women. Wow! That's pretty cool that 5 courageous/curious women showed up to learn how to throw knives! That was pretty awesome! In the end, I think I would have preferred the freedom of an outdoor class. The concept of being outdoors with a campfire going (that is how the class is usually held) with a BYOB scenario is very much my jam. I would take this class again just to hang out and throw knives. Try this, you'll like it! And ladies, don't let this class scare you away, all the women who showed up had a blast.

    Cheers...

It was very easy to schedule a private class for my colleagues and I as a team bonding experience. We had a great time taking our aggression out and learning a few techniques. I eventually got into the groove when we got to throw more than 4 knives per turn. Jay was a great instructor giving constructive criticism after watching everyone's throw. I love Dabble!!","teacher_response":null}

Everyone was nice and supportive. However, the 2 hours was a bit long for the basic knife throwing we did, 1 hour would've been enough. And there were only 2 targets for 10 people, so it was hard to get into a groove because you had to wait ~10 mins between throwing so everyone could get a chance.","teacher_response":null}

I went to do something new and exiting and that's exactly what I got. We learned how to throw different kinds of knifes and using different techniques. It was so satisfying when the knife sunk into the target. I also met some great people. Would highly recommend to anyone!","teacher_response":null}

What a blast! I used to throw knives a long time ago for fun, and when I saw this class pop up, I had to go. But a series of conflicting commitments prevented that from happening, and then the class disappeared for a while. The class reappeared under the direction of Jay, the owner of Dabble. Unfortunately, the day of the class was predicted to be in the 40's, and probably too cold for most to be outdoors, so Jay found an excellent indoor place to hold the class. Thanks to Brooklyn Boulders for such an awesome venue. Jay introduced everyone to the art and science of knife throwing. We started out with 1/2 spins and progressed to full spins. Everyone had a great time and I met some really cool people. One thing that impressed me was the number of women at this class. There were 3 couples (so 3 women) and then two women who were friends for a total of 5 women. Wow! That's pretty cool that 5 courageous/curious women showed up to learn how to throw knives! That was pretty awesome! In the end, I think I would have preferred the freedom of an outdoor class. The concept of being outdoors with a campfire going (that is how the class is usually held) with a BYOB scenario is very much my jam. I would take this class again just to hang out and throw knives. Try this, you'll like it! And ladies, don't let this class scare you away, all the women who showed up had a blast.\r\n\r\nCheers...\r\n\r\nTodd in Chicago","teacher_response":null}
