The Thronin Podcast

John Grabovski is a name synonymous with the generosity of spirit that defines the 'brothers and sisters of the knife'. A graduate from MIT and now a software engineer in Silicon Valley, John brings a unique focus to his approach in the precision throwing arts. He was inducted into the IKTHOF in 2013 and has thrown competitively in more countries than most people will visit in a lifetime. As a father of 6, John knows all about how to throw in the spaces around a busy and productive day but still seems able to appear unflappable and makes himself available to help others on their journey. In this interview we discuss how John has been able to rise to the top of the field in record time through a ‘minimum effective dose’ approach to his training, why he feels so passionate about throwing shovels and his ambition to travel to a small town in Europe which might just have the greatest concentration of world class throwers on the planet.
